NFL Trade Rumors
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin said he’s frustrated by the lack of contract extension talks with the team.
“It’s obviously the compensation, but it’s kind of like the confusion,” McLaurin said, via ESPN. “All year you feel like you’re a part of something. You earned the right to be a captain. When you have that type of production, when you know how people value you and see you have told you to your face and then you see how it’s progressing until this point, that’s very disappointing. I’m just trying to get some clarity. Shoot it to me straight.”
McLaurin believes that he still has a lot left to give and dismissed the fact that he doesn’t have a lot of tread left on his tires.
“I’m not dismissing [age] completely,” he said. “There are data points to support that, but how come it’s not OK to say this may be a different case and based on what he’s proven, showing no signs of deterioration, I feel that should be acknowledged as well.”
McLaurin has the support of QB Jayden Daniels, as the two have grown fond of each other in the past year.
“We’ve had a lot of great conversations, and I’ll keep the specifics between us. It’s great to have his support and to know he has my back and see how we’ve grown in our relationship,” McLaurin said. “I truly believe we need each other.”
Cowboys LB Micah Parsons appeared on WWE legend The Undertaker’s Six Feet Under podcast, and when asked about his contract, Parsons said he had hoped to get a deal done sooner and that any delay in doing so is the fault of the team.
“We obviously wanted to get done early,” Parsons told The Deadman, while wearing a giant Cowboys hat. “We want that relief off our backs. But, obviously, ownership is always gonna make it drag out, make it more complicated than it has to be. Lack of communication and that standpoint, but, you know, I just always say, God has me this far, he ain’t done with me yet, so, you know, I just just keep working, keep going, and then when it comes, I’m gonna be ready. But, you know, ain’t gonna be no drop off.”
“We wanted to do the contract last year,” Parsons added. “They were just kind of like, ‘We want to do Dak and CeeDee.’ Then you go out there and perform again and, you know, you would think, like, alright, we’ll get it done early. We know there’s some guys that’s about to get ready to get repaid, like Myles [Garrett], you know, Max [Crosby] is gone. So you’d think like, hey, let’s get ahead of that, you know what I mean?”
