The Dallas Cowboys were one of the most talked-about teams in the NFL last season. Their performance on the field certainly generated buzz, but so did the constant attention from owner Jerry Jones. Known for making headlines with his statements about the team and its players, Jones continued to dominate the spotlight during the offseason with some comments regarding Micah Parsonsā€˜ contract extension.

With Cowboys fans eagerly anticipating the upcoming season, Jones has focused on bolstering the roster by adding top-tier talent. However, retaining key players is also a priority, and contract extensions are seen as a critical move to keep the current roster intact.

One of the key players the team hopes to extend is linebacker Parsons. But recent comments from Jones about Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, led to a strong response from the player himself, warning Jones on social media.

ā€œDavid is the best, and I will not do any deal without him involved! Like anyone with good sense, I hired experts for a reason,ā€ Parsons wrote on his X account, addressing Jones’ remarks about the agent responsible for guiding his career.

Cowboys face a key decision

With Parsons making his stance clear, the message for the Cowboys is unmistakable: any future contract discussions with the star linebacker will need to include Mulugheta. If the Cowboys want to secure Parsons for the upcoming seasons, they must respect his choice of agent. If not, Jones may find himself searching for another player to fill that crucial role.

Jones’ comments on Parsons’ agent spark controversy

While Jones’ comments weren’t explicitly disrespectful, many, including Parsons, took them as a slight against Mulugheta. Ahead of the NFL Draft, Jones was asked about the agent and responded bluntly. ā€œThe agent is not a concern here … I don’t know his name,ā€ Jones said.

With these remarks, Jones may have inadvertently created tension within his team. The comments not only prompted Parsons to issue a warning to the Cowboys but also risked alienating a key player. If Jones isn’t careful, he could jeopardize Parsons’ future with the team, potentially losing a cornerstone player for Brian Schottenheimer, who shared his thoughts about Parsons for the next season, at a time when there are few others on the market who can match his level of play.
