Jerry Jones – Micah Parsons’ trade request ‘part of negotiation’

Oxnard, California – The commercial demand from Micah Parsons did not influence the owner and managing director of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, who said he will not plan to negotiate the Rusher Star Pass.

“I think the world of Micah,” said Jones after Saturday training. “And that [request] is only part of the negotiation. “”

Jones spent 16 minutes answer questions about the contractual situation of Parsons, the agreement that the owner believes he has made in March and sarcastically mentioned the waterproofing of the back which has maintained the Bowler Pro until now thanks to nine training camp practices.

“It’s 30 years of old stuff, some of these problems we hear about trading, hurt all this kind of thing,” said Jones.

But Jones would not say if he expected him to expect in Parsons on the field for the opening of the season of September 4 against the Eagles of Philadelphia.

“I don’t want to talk about my expectations,” said Jones. “Now it speculates. But I can talk to everything that has happened so far and it has no sensitivity to me.”

Parsons made a publicly commercial request with an article on social networks, citing, among other things, “repeated shots” of the organization.

“Unfortunately, I don’t want to be here anymore,” wrote Parsons. “I no longer want to be kept to close the door negotiations without my agent. I no longer want any shots to have wounded while putting him into play for the organization Our fans and my teammates. I no longer want any stories created and distributed to the media.

Parsons was on the training ground on Saturday, starting training less than 10 meters from the executive vice-president Stephen Jones. However, for the first time in the camp, he was not in his practice jersey n ° 11 and spent more time with quarters, runners and wide receivers than with defense during the exercises.

While the team went through work of 11 against 11, Parsons was seated on the grass under the perch where Jones watches to train between the two fields. After training, a strong song by “We Want Micah” broke out fans near the field.

Jones said he hadn’t talked with Parsons since the request was made.

Jones reiterated him and Parsons concluded an agreement on an agreement in March when they met in the owner’s office. In his article on social networks, Parsons said that the visit was supposed to concern leadership and that Jones turned it to the contract.

Jones said Parsons had removed this table offer. Jones would not disclose the specific details of the agreement but reflected to “guarantee someone nearly $ 200 million” comments on Saturday.

“What you don’t know is what I gave him, and it’s much more than you did,” said Jones. “This is what you don’t know … But my point is that I have reached. Don’t be mistaken. I have reached.”

Since Jones and Parsons met in March, Elite Pass Rushers Myles Garrett (four years, $ 160 million), Maxx Crosby (three years, 106.5 million dollars) and TJ Watt (three years, $ 123 million) have signed extensions.

Parsons should win $ 21.324 million this season on the fifth year option. Without extension this season, cowboys could use the franchise tag on Parsons from 2026 to 2028, however, this last issue would be at the price of the first five highest paid quarters in the NFL.

Cowboys and Parsons agent David Mulugheta had no conversation on an agreement. Jones said he had made contracts with star players over the years by “the double handful”.

“It is very important that if you want to change the contract we have at the moment, which would be, that I accept what we have changed,” said Jones. “This is why it was so good when we sat together and spent a lot of time going back and forth and we did this exercise together [in March]. “”

“What you don’t know is what I gave him and it’s much more than you did. This is what you don’t know … But my point is that I have reached. Do not go wrong. I have reached.”

And the agent?

“My experience was the agent is not the one who solves the problems you have when you perform what you said you would do in the contract,” said Jones. “So, I like to deal directly with the player when he is of this nature.”

Cowboys have a recent history of prolonged negotiations when it comes to signing their star players. Two years ago, the future caretaker of the renowned temple Zack Martin missed the first part of the training camp in search of a renegotiated agreement. Last year, Ceedee Lamb signed a $ 136 million contract over four years after missing the whole part of the camp in Oxnard. Dak Prescott accepted a $ 60 million contract a year a few hours before the opening of the season of last year.

In the end, however, all these transactions were carried out.

“I’m really happy that you mentioned this,” said Jones. “It seems that we forget that it’s been less than a year old, and I paid the highest that was paid in the NFL in Dak, and I paid a Grand Prix for the Lamb. Whoever says that I am not interested in rewarding the best team of the best team financially. … I appreciate Micah.
