Wild that we almost traded for Parsons. Apparently the deal fell through due to his contract demands. This is a wild story. I'm not sure we would have been any better. We have a lot of holes.
Almost traded??? Here is Jerry's exact quote: “Just frankly, (they) didn’t have the resources to entertain conversation,”
I think different people are reporting different things then.
Oh, Connor Hughes had to edit what he posted before.
Yeah, the previous link goes nowhere because Hughes (at least to me) reported that the Jets had agreed to a deal but then their negotiations with Parsons got too expensive. I think that my understanding of what Hughes wrote was commonly shared, which is probably why he deleted the tweet and posted a new one.
This is the new one. He says he needed to edit it. I'm pretty sure he did because I'm not just thinking things and it struck me as odd that they would proceed in that order, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Editing this to make it more clear.
The
#Cowboys, Micah Parsons had verbally agreed to a deal with $150m GTD. Then things fell apart between them.
The
#Jets were never going to go that high, so the brief talks between them ended. No trade was ever agreed to. All else a moot point.
Jerry Jones spoke to
@GaryMyersNY yesterday about talks between NYJ, Dallas before Parsons was ultimately traded to Green Bay.

So yeah, I wasn't wrong nor inaccurate when I posted what Hughes said. Here's a comment from the new one, even, which I have no idea why these comments are still there. And take it easy, RAGE, or people will get this idea that you're some kind of angry guy. Here are comments from people that are evidence that what I thought isn't far off and that it's likely Hughes's fault (I can read, even early on Sunday morning).
