The NFL training camp has not even started yet, and speculation on the theater have already started with Dallas Cowboys.
The owner and managing director of the Cowboys team, Jerry Jones, spoke on Monday with journalists, and as he did in the past, he dropped controversial equipment that the defensive star Micah Parsons did not seem to love.
Jones said that he was not frustrated by the way in which the current contractual negotiations with Parsons take place, adding that it is “grateful” that the Rusher Edge is in camp with them in progress.

However, Jones took a random blow on Parsons, saying that even if they find the right figures in the agreement, that does not mean that they have it on the ground. Jones said Parsons had been injured six games last season, although only four due to an injury.
Jones also raised the quarter-back Dak Prescott, the best paid to the League post after having signed an extension before the 2024 season, which only played eight games last year due to an injury.

JJ Watt, the ex-Houses Texans Great Pass Rusher, went to social networks to bark to Jones, and Starter retweeted on Monday.
“Whenever you can publicly publish a excavation to your starry quarter and your Rusher Star Pass simultaneously, just before the start of the season, you just have to take it …” wrote Watt on X, sarcastically.
“Nothing makes guys want to fight for you to hear how upset you are injured in fighting for you.”
Since he entered the NFL as a 12th choice in total to the Cowboys in 2021, Parsons has accumulated 52.5 bags on 63 games, which includes a season of 12 racks in 2024. He also placed 63 for the loss, 112 quarter shots and nine forced flashes during this period.

Parsons has cemented as one of the best rushers on board in sport, and he seeks to be paid as such.
The cowboys, on the other hand, paid the Prescott contract with the star recipient Ceedee Lamb, whose contract is the third highest in the league at $ 34 million per season.
Off the edge, the Pittsburgh Steelers TJ Watt star, probably the best defensive league player, has just paid $ 41 million per season over the next three years, while Cleveland Browns Myles Garrett is just behind him at $ 40 million per season. Danielle Hunter of Houston Texans earning more than $ 34 million per season, and seated the third higher behind Garrett and Watt after having totaled 45 bags since 2021, Parsons is probably looking for a contract above hers.

It will be revealing to see what the cowboys will end up doing this pre-season with Parsons, who will play on his fifth year option. If a contract is not included by the start of the next year of the league, Startons will be a free agent unless he is in franchise.
