Dallas Cowboys Offseason Thread (5 Viewers)

[Terpman22]

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.

Come, join us.

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.

Micah Parsons Releases Statement Demanding Trade From Cowboys

With the Cowboys’ contract negotiations deteriorating, Parsons released a statement demanding a trade on Friday.

www.si.com

 

[ffmail4me]

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.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

I bet the 49ers would pay Parsons.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

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

[LawFitz]

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.

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.

"Parson demands trade!" That is unless Cowboys give him a new deal.

Just like Garrett said he would never play for the Browns again..that was until his demands were met and now he is a Brown for life.

Same thing when players say they won`t talk a new contract once the season starts...unless....the$$$$$$ is right. All posturing.

Saw it reported today that Jerry has been battling cancer. Such a brutal disease. I've witnessed firsthand the toll it takes to fight it. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.

I wish him the best and hope treatment and/or surgery can help him.

The Netflix Cowboys series is really well done. The stuff on Jerry is mostly insufferable but the player stuff is great.

Nice upgrade from the VHS/CD-Roms of the glory years.

Interesting thing going on with Milton. Is Shotty playing him to show Jerruh that he can’t play or is he playing him because Jerruh wants him to play?

Unless you’re running the Lamar type offense he’s not ready for 90% drop backs.

In the preseason, I think it would make sense to have the players work on things they aren't good at to improve those areas. I thought in Hard Knocks, Sean McDermitt made a really good comment when the players had their first meetings. He said something to the effect, that he is giving them all a license to fail in practice.

I get the theater part, but football shape is a different story, and it doesn't sound like he's doing football football related activities unless I've missed something.

13 days out, with the way Jerry is talking, do you guys expect Micah to play the season opener vs the Eagles?

Yes.

This is all theater.

I get the theater part, but football shape is a different story, and it doesn't sound like he's doing football football related activities unless I've missed something.

With that said, I actually expect him to hold out at least a game to make his message felt.

Guess we will see.

Jerry is a lot of things but stupid isn't one of them. Stubborn? Yes. Egotistical? Absolutely. But Jerry knows his team cannot win without Parsons. Even the dumbest math minds can see the difference Parsons makes to that defense. The numbers with and without him are staggering.

I understand your concern about football shape. I'd like to think Parsons is wired differently and like the great LT who had some contract disputes or missed time here and there for "things" Parsons is as close to pug and play as you can get. But that might be misplaced confidence.

I think Jerry wanted his NFLX special to come out in conjunction with this holdout because he LOVES the spotlight. Dallas plays tonight and then 12 days until kick-off. I imagine the deal gets done between now and early next week.

Million plus a game.

Micah likes $$$ too much.

I agree with you that Jerry’s just being Jerruh, milking the press for the Cowboys. I still think a deal gets done.

The one fly in the ointment, IMHO, is Micah’s personality. Micah seems like the kinda guy that might cut off his nose to spite his face if he feels like somebody is challenging him, or making it personal.

And Jerry’s definitely being antagonistic. The latest salvo of saying Micah’s got another year on his contract. Then the Franchise Tag… Twice! That absolutely drove Micah up a wall.

It’s a lot of money at stake, and that’ll heal a lot of wounds. But I could see Micah holding out just for the “FU, Jerruh!” factor. The way Jerry’s handled this might have burned the bridges.

I’d put odds at 70:30 that a deal gets done. But Jerry has handled this extremely poorly, for no reason whatsoever. And Micah doesn’t strike me as the kinda guy that gets over personal stuff easily.

Who is the last player to hold out a full year? How did it work out for them?

If he’s not even missing practice - He ain’t missing game checks.


As far as Jerry handling it poorly, let’s see how this all works out.

 

[Stinkin Ref]

I haven't read the whole thread so please forgive me if that has been covered.....let's say he sits out and they can't agree....is there still that rule that if they play/make themselves available to play like by week 11, then they can count the year as a "vested" year....but if they don't then they can't.....feels like I had heard something like that in the past where it really forces the players hand at that time as they covet getting their years vested...

Jerry is only offering Parsons the most guaranteed money of any defensive player in the league...

It's more than fair.

 

[Football Jones]

I guess this is a contrary opinion from the looks of things, but I don't think Jerry screwed anything up. There's a salary cap to deal with and he's offering Parsons a fair deal.

Unfortunately for Jerry, the bar is simply higher in Dallas. This is America's Team, and because of that, he catches a lot of unwarranted flack. Jerry is the main reason Dallas is top-10 in wins the last 5 seasons as well as the last 20 seasons.

I believe he's done a helluva job keeping the Cowboys relevant on the field over the long-haul. That's extremely tough to do...ask the Pats.
