Would Parsons consider taking less money to play alongside Myles Garrett?

[Doomsday101]

I don't think Parson will let the Cowboys lowball him either. I fully expect to see Parsons get a good payday does not make him greedy it makes him intelligent, I think he will work with the Cowboys up to a point

 

[KJJ]

Of course he said yes.

Parsons would have to take a lot more than a “tad” less to be able to afford Garrett. No way would the Cowboys be able to pay both of them.

 

[Bobhaze]

No he would not. No matter what he says.

(PS - there really is no such thing as a “team friendly” deal with top line players. Occasionally an older, washed up or injured player will take an incentive laden deal. A guy like Parsons would be insane to do that)

Dak-ancer is a streeeeeech lol

Let’s workshop that one again my guy

But I would like to see Dak do that. Just won’t happen:

Daktastrophe?
Daksaster?
Dakocalypse?
Dakmegeddon?

What do you want?

 

[Buzzbait]

Myles said he would take less to play on a contender. With that being said i hope, he enjoys Philly, Detroit, or Washington.

Or KC!

 

[Buzzbait]

Of course he said yes.

Would that be cool or what??? Ya think those two could terrorize some QBs?

 

[Nova]

Daktastrophe?
Daksaster?
Dakocalypse?
Dakmegeddon?

What do you want?

Option A ain’t bad actually

 

[America's Cowboy]

Of course he said yes.

Does this mean Micah is willing to be traded to the Browns while the Cowboys get two 1st round picks (2025 & 2026), a 2nd (2025) and a 3rd (2026) for him?

 

[atlantacowboy]

If he wants to play for a contender, he's probably going to end up with a team like Washington with tons of cap space........that might actually have a shot in the playoffs. Unless the morons who have been running this team into the ground for the past 30 years are going to suddenly grow some brain cells, I don't see much changing.

 

[GMO415]

Of course he said yes.

Best he could do to get paid market value and help the cap is do a really long-term deal that escalates in the end (to force a redo).

Patrick Mahomes wasn't underpaid when he signed his 10-year, $450,000,000 contract at an average of $45 million per year, but by signing such a long-term deal his first two years were $5.3 million and $7.4 million (and the next three were all under $40 million). They kept the signing bonus low as well, but got $141 million guaranteed. That was a good deal for everyone.

Parsons is set to make $25 million this year. If he did something similar to Mahomes where the first two years were $5 million to $7 million, they could actually afford Garrett's final two years ($19.7 million and $20.3 million) with the savings.

If Parsons takes the typical four-year deal, then it most likely will include an astronomical second-year base that Dallas will turn into bonus to create cap space, but there's less maneuverability for spreading out the money. That is the typical contract structure for Dallas, so I don't expect to see anything create. And, of course, I don't expect us to end up with Myles Garrett.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Drugs are a helluv a thing...

 

[visionary]

Of course he said yes.

So 34,999,999 million instead of 35 million?
Hell yes!!!
Micah aint greedy
He has learned from the Dakmeister
All about the team

(Of course feeding his family and ‘respect’ will have to be factored in

 

[Forneymike]

Of course he said yes.

What evidence do you have that the Browns are considering trading Garrett? This is a moot point till they make a decision to do a trade. Players often want trades but teams don't just do what the player asks.

Micah is not Mahomes and is not a QB
Mahomes completely changed the trajectory of the Chiefs
What has Micah changed exactly?
Nothing

Micah is a LB and absolutely not worth the 30+ million price tag he will get

Beyond the next 3 years he will get injured, his body will start breaking down, he will miss multiple games and his sacks will decline significantly

His value is for a 3-4 defense not as DE in a 4-3

IMO we should have hired a great 3-4 DC but now we should trade him

Feel free to save this post and show me in 5-6 years if im wrong

 

[Floatyworm]

How about we just trade Parsons for Garrett and call it good? I just keep getting this feeling we are going back to the doomsday defense.....

LDE-Golston-Lawrence
LDT- Odighizuwa-Byron Cowart
RDT- Mason Graham/Mazi/Chico Bennett Jr
RDE-Myles Garrett/Kneeland

 

[JoeKing]

I don't believe him. Micah isn't taking less to be teammates with any man. Period!

 

[Whyjerry]

Garrett to the Cowboys…

Jerry’s bots are firing on all cylinders while the SB gets ready to be played. There is ZERO chance Myles Garrett is a Cowboy. ZERO.

 

[cristglo]

Of course he said yes.

Does It really matter in Jerrys mind to stay on top he has to Overpay and he will

 

[blueblood70]

I don't think players really understand the cap. Micah is set to make $25 million this year and Garrett is set to make $20 million Would Micah be willing to reduce his hit to $5 million in his extension to bring in Garrett? Of course, he would, but he's not going to sign a four-year, $20 million deal. He and his agent would want to be rewarded heavily for bringing that cap hit down to $5 million with bonuses, back-end money, etc. It's not hard to get that first-year cap hit down low, but the result of doing that is some big hits in the following years.

I don't think fans understand the cat I mean believing that you could put 2 war daddies you know bookend defensive ends that want the same money big time market money on the field at the same time I don't care how much he's willing to reduce it let's be realistic that he wanted 35 million but he's willing to take a little less what does that mean how much less they're probably gonna both want 30 show me another team that has two $30 million defensive ends on their team at the same time..

That works at most positions you usually can't pay market money to two players on the same team at the same position somebody has to take a reduced rate that's usually why these type of free agents or trades are made to teams that don't have one or they have a young rookie or second year player at that position that's not yet to be paid and then you can add a 30 + 1,000,000 dollar player of the same position on the field but typically it can't work and though that's not Jerry Jones making me drink the kool-aid that's pretty standard practice not many teams do this where they have two players making market money at the same position at the same time..

That's why when I see a player coming up for a big deal and wants to be traded and we already have a player like him on our team making a brand new big contract let's say CD lamb you can't go out and get another player who wants the same money as city land to be your #2 wide receiver CD makes 34 it makes no sense if you have a guy on the other side that wants more than say 25,000,000 yeah yes the Cowboys should do that but you can't have two number ones that want #1 Max market money it doesn't usually fit a cap league..

I'm sure there's exceptions out there but that's why these stories never make real sense to start talking about because they're not gonna really come to fruition and like you said or somebody get up there he wants to go to a team that has the best chance of getting to a Super Bowl and that probably not the Cowboys...
