The latest news surrounding the Dallas Cowboys.
Micah Parsons has some help from people who have been in this situation in the past.
Micah Parsons‘ contract frustrations have spilled into public view, and he isn’t the only one in the Dallas Cowboys locker room feeling the strain. Quarterback Dak Prescott, who has weathered his own drawn-out negotiations with team owner Jerry Jones in recent years, said he reached out to Parsons after the All-Pro pass rusher requested a trade last week amid stalled talks on a long-term deal.
The message, per Prescott, was, “F—, man.”
“He knows what that means,” Prescott told Yahoo Sports. “It wasn’t ‘F— you, Micah,’ or ‘F— them.’ It’s more of a ‘F— — this is frustrating for everybody involved.'”
Parsons, who is holding in during Cowboys training camp as he seeks a contract extension, has not practiced since making his trade request public on Friday. He remains present with the team and in uniform but has stayed on the sideline during team and joint practices, including Tuesday’s session against the Los Angeles Rams.
While Jones downplayed the tension, saying he’s “built for” these kinds of challenges, he acknowledged he hasn’t spoken directly with Parsons — or even contacted his agent, David Mulugheta — since the request.
Prescott, meanwhile, emphasized his personal understanding of the emotional toll of these situations. The veteran quarterback negotiated with the Cowboys through two extended contract disputes before landing a four-year, $160 million deal in 2021.
“Not many people, especially here, have been in that position,” Prescott said. “So I know what that means just to support him.”
Parsons’ agent seems to be standing firm that the trade request was sincere.
The Dallas Cowboys‘ Micah Parsons saga does not appear to be dying down anytime soon, with Jerry Jones’ refusal to reach out to Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, after an alleged “handshake agreement” between Jones and the Cowboys star.
Jones seems to feel slighted that the deal did not come to fruition after unofficial talks earlier this year, while Mulugheta is just waiting for a call.
While the contract negotiations heat up and the two sides continue their spat, Mulugheta shared an interesting message on social media while boasting his incredible numbers and value of contracts he’s been able to get done.
“Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t,” Mulugheta wrote on Instagram.
The news comes at a time when Parsons and Mulugheta are reportedly “very serious” about his trade request from the team.
This shouldn’t even be up for a debate, but...
