Jerry Jones kept his word in recent months with the Dallas Cowboys by giving historic contract extensions to Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. However, he still has one pending matter: Micah Parsons.
After seeing how the Pittsburgh Steelers made T.J. Watt the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, the 26-year-old star won’t settle for anything less. $40 million per season is likely the main talking point, as well as how much he’ll demand in guaranteed money.
In fact, even though his desire is to win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, Parsons has already requested a trade due to the stance Jones has taken in negotiations. Now, the story has a new and shocking chapter.
Will Micah Parsons get a contract extension from Cowboys?
Jerry Jones is confident that Micah Parsons will sign a contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, the controversial owner said he could settle everything with a handshake, just like when he bought the team in 1989.
“I bought the Cowboys with a handshake. It took about 30 seconds. I gave the number, shook hands, the details we worked out later. Just so you understand the way that I communicate with people that I negotiate with. Let’s leave it at that. There’s no question that in the case of a player contract, you have to have it in writing. All parties do. We have a contract in writing yet we still are talking about renegotiating it. So much for that.”
Micah Parsons might not play for Cowboys against Eagles
Micah Parsons might not play for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 against the Eagles. This was Jerry Jones’ response when asked if he was confident the player would be on the field in Philadelphia.
“Again, no. Absolutely not. A big part of that is his decision. How would I know that? I’m just saying. No, but I’m urgent. You all are getting what’s in the mind or what’s in the said. This is a good time. He’s subject matter. It’s what it is. We’ll work through it or we will not work through it.”
