Dallas Cowboys Offseason Thread (1 Viewer)

As a Raider fan it can be difficult to throw shade at other teams ownership. I mean, the Raiders haven't been relevant for 25 years. But, I sincerely feel sorry for Cowboys fans having Jerruh running the show. And it doesn't look like Steven is any kind of voice of reason. I am honestly not trying to start an iFight here but, I am sitting here feeling incredibly frustrated for Cowboys fans because of how your ownership handles their contract negotiations. What the heck is wrong with these guys?

Every year the Cowboys try to lowball their star players, drag @## on contract negotiations, try to negotiate directly with players (which is absolutely not permitted in the CBA) and end up conceding everything and breaking the bank to get a deal done in the 11th hour. All the while wasting tons of reps and PT getting players ready for the season.

They need to get Parsons signed ASAFP. What's the hold up? The contract framework has already been negotiated by TJ Watt, Maxx Crosby, Myles Garrett etc.

There isn't a lot of hope in being a Raider fan but, I would like to extend a warm welcome to any disgruntled Cowboy fan who has had enough with the Joneses and wants to join a fan base that hasn't had much success in 25 years but, at least has an owner who doesn't meddle or micro-manage, consistently tries to put true football people in every position running the franchise and doesn't nickle-and-dime when negotiating with their players.

From an outside looking in, the only thing that makes sense is Jerry is just an ego maniac and will do anything to make sure he and his team are ALWAYS in the headlines. Its the only logical thing I can think of and it still doesn't make sense.

Parsons requesting a trade soon?

Well, an Eagles fan being the first to agree with me isn't going to help my cause but, I'll take it.

To be fair, Jerruh is good at making money and that's ultimately what the NFL is all about for owners. The Championships are the gravy not the Thanksgiving meal.
 
How bad are things going to get between the team and Parsons?
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6530081/2025/08/01/micah-parsons-jerry-jones-contract-negotiation/

The relationship between Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys has deteriorated to the point where the star pass rusher is considering drastic measures, which could include a trade request or even a declaration that he is severing his relationship with the team, according to a league source familiar with the situation. The two sides remain far apart heading into the second week of training camp and are not currently negotiating.

The Eagles fan agreeing with you has been beating this drum for awhile. I do believe Jerry's stance on player contract extensions is less about NFL logistics and more about other professional ventures he has embarked on.

Many Cowboy fans have long speculated, Jerry is more worried about overall liquidity in cash. Everything that man says about winning doesn't jive with what he is actually doing. It doesn't help seeing his football intellect fade (if there ever was any intellect). He has never really adapted to the salary cap era and management of the money. Additionally, he has flipped two or three 3rd round picks for assets that aren't any good. Trey Lance? What was that?

Jerry is much more about his billions than he is about winning. Heck, he has 3 rings... whether you attribute those rings to Jimmy Johnson or Jerry Jones, doesn't matter... he has 3 rings. Not a lot of owners can die saying they have 3 SB rings. What is the incentive to care? He has a billion dollar franchise, which is generating 1 billion dollars of revenue every year... from an ownership standpoint, what is he doing wrong? Fading a franchise into obscurity, which he won't be around long enough to see? Who gives a s***!

It sucks from a fan standpoint. This song and dance about Jerry signing players sooner, he inked Ferguson to a new deal this year over Parsons... it's largely due to the financial hit. It doesn't take a Harvard Business degree to see what is happening. He relives the 90s every morning and doesn't give a crap about this football team and everything else is lip service.

There's still time to save your son.

He’ll jump to DC if he has any say, man loves his old coach and still talks about DQ. I’d take him we can wash that cowgirl stink off him with a good high powered pressure washer. :wink:
 
I posted in the McLaurin thread that for $20M or whatever TM is scheduled to make this season, the leverage is all on Washington's side IMHO
He's not on Year 4 or 5 of a rookie deal like Micah Parsons

This situation is different but I still don't believe Dallas is gonna trade him
I checked on OTC, Parsons is scheduled to receive $24M and.I understand he deserves a major extension, a colossal one as he's been a Pro Bowler all 4 yrs, All-Pro twice, he's future HoF
Why didn't Dallas get this done after Year 3 or why wait this long? He's not being paid unfairly but he has no long term or guaranteed money and it doesn't make sense for him to play

This is going to be very sticky and quite ugly before the situation gets fixed.
Dallas should have made a decision internally already, most teams would never let a player of this caliber out of their sights
I think Micah Parsons will sit out when the season starts if he doesn't have a new contract

What a mess

It could be worse. He could go to Philly.
 
I feel for you guys. Lived through this scenario with Khalil Mack and was gutted when the news broke of the Raiders actually trading him, which I had thought was a zero chance proposition, despite the rumblings of a rift between Mack and the organization. Worst part was when all they got to show for it from the slew of draft picks was Josh Jacobs, who they ultimately let walk away in his prime, too. Painful. You don't let walking HOFers leave the organization in their mid-20s. That has never worked out well for any team in any league.

Agree with you that Jerry only cares about the value of the franchise and how much money he is making The part I don't get is, imagine the Cowboys had even a modicum of post-season success over the past 30 years. If they won 2 or 3 SBs in that time frame, he'd be generating $2-3B a year, and the team would be worth $20B (or more) instead of $10B. He's leaving a lot of potential money on the table by hamstringing the organization for the last 30 years.
 
I don't think he gets traded but this is probably the last year with the Cowboys for Parsons. I don't know if there's enough money to make it right now. Just totally avoidable problems. Self inflicted wounds by the Cowboys front office.
 
Jerry is much more about his billions than he is about winning. Heck, he has 3 rings... whether you attribute those rings to Jimmy Johnson or Jerry Jones, doesn't matter... h
I think that specific position matters more to Jerruh, by an order of magnitude, than to anyone else.

I would bet all the money in @Cowboysfan8 's wallet that the fact the world believes, 51% rightly so IMO, that Jimmy Johnson delivered those three SB rings (100% including Switzer's) will eternally remain a burning pit of inadequacy in Jerruh's soul.

It's a shame too because, Jerruh still orchestrated that run. The pre-Jerruh Cowboys would never have sniffed those rings. Who cares if Jimmy made the Herschel Walker trade? Jerruh made that happen by hiring Jimmy and he should take pride in knowing that but, IMO he doesn't because he had to share the public accolades for it.

Maybe I'm completely off base but... I don't think so.
