ETA - This is also the same dude who got the mega deal for Watson. I would wager there’s a little payback for that happening.

I did not know that! It makes sense now! Jerry dealing payback for other corrupt owners...hooray toxic oligarchy. #inflategate

ETA - its interesting that the players association hasn't come out and trashed the guy for boxing out an agent. I guess they have to pick their fights carefully.

To your point, this is still the NFL right? The league that was created by the owners so they could profit off of, correct?

Seems to me they can should and run it however the **** they want.

I'll back away from anything political and simply say that the players have leverage, and that tolerating behavior where an owner can boxout an agent should be a "third rail" for union representation. The fact that it may actually be payback for the Watson fiasco only makes the need for the union to respond more pressing. Failure of the union leadership to address this point should be enough for the rank and file to pitch a fit....so I'm surprised that none of this is happening (yet?).

All businesses are subject to what was the Wagner Act, which established the right of workers to organize unions and collectively bargain with employers. Before you think that legislation was just a leftist idea, the left had to give up certain types of strikes and organizing. In some areas, the Wagner Act defanged the organizing and collective power of the economic left. The main reason Roosevelt wanted it (and of course it veered left in its final form) was because capital holders and unions were having intense standoffs and nothing was getting produced. You can't have a country where everything to do with production has ground to a halt.

OK man, I didn’t mean it literally. I’m very much pro labor but the pendulum has swung a bit too far.

Probably because the player is, let’s all say it together here…..

Under contract.

Jerry Jones doesn’t have to give him any more money.

Oh, sure then. I generally am very sympathetic to claims that we've deviated from our origins too far to the left. You're usually not going to lose me saying that. It's just that the way I was taught it (and then in further experience) the left did not care for the Wagner Act where labor and organizing is really strong. I mean, there are no secondary strikes allowed, which can really grind production and consumption to an absolute standstill. They allow for a ton of leverage that can be crippling to businesses and capital holders. But enough. Back to football.

That's true. The "market" has certain norms however. Now a player like McLaurin might not have enough leverage but Micah being one of the top players in the league would typically mean he has enough leverage to force a new contract...and in fact Jerry apparently agreed to give him mo money but the whole agent issue is clouding the situation. It's also true that Jerry CAN refuse to give him more money and franchise him next year and franchise him the year after that. I think more than anything else, my comments were driven by empathy for the plight of cowboy fans here....I would be royally pissed if my owner was playing payback games with an agent at the expense of my team's prognosis.

I agree with you on almost all counts.

As far as a fan being mad at Jerry- While it’ certainly is hard to argue that Jerry has been successful, I think a lot of what is said about him is overstated and sometimes flat out wrong. It would probably be best if he fired himself but we all know that’s not going to happen so there’s really not a whole lot I can do about it.

On Parsons, he’s kind of shown himself to be an immature tool bag. If he signs with the Cowboys, I don’t wanna see him throwing Dallas Cowboys stuff all over his social media. He took it off. He should leave it off have some integrity or stick it out and actually force a trade. Also- I’m old-fashioned so I prefer my defensive stalwarts to be more like caveman less like podcast personalities.

I like Fairwwather very much as a receiver - don’t know if he can block.

Brooks can play.

Mukuamu - I assume he’s already on a plane to Washington.

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

The Cowboys Netflix show has a bit of an infomercial feel at times for Jerry, as if he paid for this thing. I'm sure he negotiated participation terms to an extent, or tried to anyway.

Not sure Switzer could have come off looking worse without breaking the law. What a dope. But I do have a higher level of appreciation for the triplets. As a Packer fan, that era was awesome. It was a great time to be an NFL fan, especially Cowboy, 9er, Packer. And Haley, wow. I knew he was BS crazy, but dude. That guy could ball.

Honestly, I think there is certainly an argument Jerry Jones is thinking about the Herschel Walker deal when thinking about Parsons. Not that any team would make an offer like that one, but the idea of turning 1 expensive star into multiple cheaper ones. I can absolutely see a trade happening. Even if one doesn't I kinda think Dallas might be a poor man's Cincinnati offensively (with better pass blocking, and worse rushing) due to a pretty talent deficient defense even with Parsons.

The question becomes, who is the mark for Jerry to try and get that massive haul from?

1. New England sticks out to me, as a team with a cost-controlled QB, and loads of cap space, that could also use that defensive difference maker.

2. Detroit would make sense as a last piece idea (imagine trying to block Parsons and Hutchinson every play) and they have a good amount of cap space (though Gibbs/JaMo/LaPorta are all approaching contract years)

3. Denver makes sense as another team with a cost-controlled QB, with an already elite defense, that could become downright terrifying with a monster like Parsons.

Now, what makes sense as compensation, especially knowing Parsons is likely getting the highest paid defensive player contract? Would a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd be enough from a team like NE? Would a 1st, and 2 2nds be enough from a playoff team like Detroit or Denver? I do think it'll be tough to get 2 1sts, not that he's not easily worth that much, but then adding the 40+ million/year contract will be tough to pull?

Sources: Dallas appears open to Parsons offers

Several teams have spoken to the Cowboys about a potential Micah Parsons trade and for the first time Dallas appears willing to at least listen, according to multiple sources.

www.espn.com

Honestly, I think there is certainly an argument Jerry Jones is thinking about the Herschel Walker deal when thinking about Parsons. Not that any team would make an offer like that one, but the idea of turning 1 expensive star into multiple cheaper ones. I can absolutely see a trade happening. Even if one doesn't I kinda think Dallas might be a poor man's Cincinnati offensively (with better pass blocking, and worse rushing) due to a pretty talent deficient defense even with Parsons.

The question becomes, who is the mark for Jerry to try and get that massive haul from?

Yeah he definitely is thinking like this. Its just not 1989 anymore in so so many ways

Free agency exists
Player empowerment exists
Jimmy Johnson ain't there

And he wants to be the one guiding the ship to glory, won't give it up for anything else.

The Rams and the Browns currently possess 2 first round picks for the 2026 draft.

Jerry is a "gets personal" kinda guy too (hence Jimmy J JUST getting into the ring of honor last year, despite, ya know, being architect of that Walker trade and all) so I don't see him "letting Micah stay" in the NFC and chance to visit him often and give him nightmares.

I'd say Raiders as a potential team too b/c Tom Brady know knows how things work and the Raiders were one of the teams to inquire

While the Rams and Browns both have 2 1sts, I think both those teams are earmarking those for QBs of the future. Rams especially would surprise me, given how young they are other than Stafford/Adams.

Raiders are a little interesting (Crosby/Parsons would EASILY be the scariest duo in recent history) and they are a little win now, given Geno/Carroll, so its possible.

Parsons traded to Green Bay!!!!

good god, way to go jerruh

 

[Grahamburn]

good god, way to go jerruh

He’s going to get clowned for this but I bet we look back on it and the Cowboys win the deal.

Pending compensation.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Who takes his spot? Fowler?

 

[Instinctive]

I bet the over under doesn't even change lol

 

[General Malaise]

Who takes his spot? Fowler?

That's like asking who takes the spot of Eddie Van Halen. The answer is "nobody". He did the work of two men. He is one of one. The metrics on the Dallas D with and without Parsons over his career are staggering.

It might as well be you going in there. Sure, Fowler.

 

[General Malaise]

I bet the over under doesn't even change lol

They removed Dallas from DK.

 

[Terpman22]

Can't wait to hear the tea from George Pickens after this year

 

[General Malaise]

Dallas O/U 7.5 wins before this. I guess Jerry realizes this team is a clogged porta-potty already, might as well throw the season away and avoid the agony.

 

[massraider]

Who takes his spot? Fowler?

You can try and contain Donavan Ezeiruaku, but you cannot hope to stop him.

 

[ProstheticRGK]

2 1st rounders is a pretty good haul.

That said:

 

[Football Jones]

I'm glad Schotty made a point to say the MRI was clean on his back. I'm starting to like our HC.

Micah now supposedly getting a 2nd opinion on his back. **** this guy. Let's get that haul from Green Bay.

BOOOOOOM! And Kenny Clark to boot.

Helluva deal, Jerry.

 

[TVT 0 N S T A]

I believe I have said this before and it seems well-known to most of my friends... I don't think Persons is worth that contract.

I am happy to have two 1sts and Kenny Clark for him.

We weren't going anywhere with Parsons on a rookie deal and we damn sure weren't going anywhere with him on this bloated contract.

 

[Ray Barboni]

Wow … Jerry did something good? Congrats you guys.

Lions fan here, so I hate this for the Pack (FTP) …

 

[Rig24]

Not upset at all

 

[Hastur]

The two first round picks will most likely be high #1's.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I’m good with it. No whiners.

Agree and I’ve been saying that by time the Cowboys are good again, Parsons would be old and beat up.

 

[need2know]

The two first round picks will most likely be high #1's.

Nope. 2 late firsts. They could have done better or hey maybe sign the young HOF bound pass rusher. Horrible move

OK, when I said 'high', I was meaning in the 23 - 30 range.

Helluva deal, Jerry.

Are you seriously excited about Kenny Clark. He's like the 50th best DL in the NFL per PFF. 1 sack. 4 pressures. 11 tackles. And $40M left on his contract. DAL will take the out option on his at the end of the year. The late firsts are nice considering the player/owner relationship was broken and DAL is going nowhere this year. But unless Parsons gets hurt GB won this deal.

 

[IHEARTFF]

This deal can be good for both teams. GB really has to win now for this to be favorable as a couple years down the road is dicey. Dallas has opened their options a lot while taking their 2025 SB equity down a fair amount.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Maybe the can make Jerry give the yellow jacket back.
