Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has publicly addressed the ongoing contract negotiations with linebacker Micah Parsons. Jones revealed that the Cowboys made a contract proposal to Parsons in March, which was rejected by Parsons' agent. According to Jones, the agent responded to the offer with profane language, telling the team to "stick it up our a**." Jones also indicated that there was initially an agreement with Parsons before his agent became involved. Despite the contentious negotiations, Jones expressed optimism about reaching a deal, emphasizing that both parties need to be comfortable for the contract to work and stating, "There’s no room for a third. This will be a good one." Commentators noted that Jones' offer reportedly included more guaranteed money than all but six quarterbacks, and some expect the deal to be finalized soon. The situation has drawn significant attention, with discussions about whether Jones is delaying the extension for publicity or negotiation strategy.
