Cowboys
The Cowboys are set to square off with Micah Parsons and the Packers in Week 4. When asked if he has an extra drive to win Sunday’s game, owner Jerry Jones responded that the game definitely has some extra juice to it.
“Yes, I do,” Jones said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “Of course, I’ve said this time and time again, I think the world of Micah as an individual and of course know him well. I might say, ‘I wish him well,’ except it’s obvious I don’t this weekend in terms of Green Bay winning the game. And so, it makes for an exciting time.”
As for whether Jones felt like contract negotiations with Parsons made him sour, Dallas’ owner responded that their disagreement was “nothing personal.”
“Not at all. It was nothing personal,” Jones said. “I told you, I liked Micah. As much as people wanted to make that of it, there was no issue regarding feelings relative to the negotiations. Certainly not on my part. It was just par for the course.”
Jones thinks they have insight into how to plan against Parsons.
“Over the years, when I saw Micah mitigated, when I saw teams play him pretty well, which he’s going to make some plays no matter how you play him, but when I saw people play us well with Micah in the game — and it did happen — then obviously we’ll be looking to try to run those kinds of plays.”
- Despite the criticism of the timing, Jones wouldn’t go back and trade Parsons earlier in the offseason if he could do it over: “No. Not at all. We needed this timing. We needed to be right here at the beginning of the season, in my mind, to get the highest value.” (Jon Machota)
