“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our *ss. Just so you’re clear. Nobody appreciates Micah Parsons more than the Cowboys or me. Nobody has ever offered him more money than I have to play football. Period.”

At the moment, the Dallas Cowboys and Parsons are at a stalemate. The player has already submitted a trade request, could sit out regular-season games, and has deleted any content related to the team from his social media accounts.

Is Micah Parsons a free agent?

Micah Parsons is not a free agent. The player is in the final year of his rookie deal and is therefore seeking a historic contract extension. However, Jones warned that he is in no hurry threatening to prolong the negotiation given Parsons’ agent’s stance.

“We’ve really got three years to work this thing out. It’s a basic contract. It’s there to go. I did that with Dak and we couldn’t agree. So, Dak played his last year of his contract. Then, we franchised him. It’s exactly what happened with Dak and we moved forward. Ultimately, we got a contract and made Dak the highest-paid player in the NFL. So, the precedent is handling it like Dak. If he doesn’t, it’s very costly. It’s very costly for everybody.”
