Jerry Jones Drops Bombshell on Micah Parsons’ Agent—Cowboys Star’s Fiery Social Media Response Shocks Fans

“I have agreed to give more money than that’s ever been given, in terms of guaranteed money, than anyone ever has, as far as a defensive player. I’ve done that. Now, I am the cat that writes the check, OK. Now, Micah’s got three years with the Cowboys left. He’s got three years.”That’s the art of the deal. And that’s what we’re trying to get done, and we’re trying to make this thing work … We have all the appreciation in the world for what he can mean to the years ahead. We’re proud to have him.”While Parsons’ camp has been mostly silent about the negotiations since he announced he was requesting a trade, Jones has spoken almost daily about the matter. One thing that has frequently come up is a meeting between Jones and Parsons in March, when they supposedly reached a handshake deal for an extension.

“At some point, somebody has to have the say over the other. At some point, it has to be that way. My job is managing the check. Micah’s got to do the playing.”

At the moment, the Cowboys are set to pay Parsons million this season, the fifth and final season on his rookie deal.

Parsons, the No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, immediately made a name for himself in the league, winning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. In each of his first four seasons, he’s recorded at least 12 sacks — even last year when he played only 13 games while dealing with an ankle injury.
