Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones claims he and Micah Parsons agreed to an extension in March before the pass-rusher’s agent shut the conversation down.
“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our ass,” Jones told Michael Irvin on his YouTube channel. “Micah and I talked, and then we were going to send it over to the agent. We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, everything. We were going to send it over to the agent, and the agent said, ‘Don’t bother because we’ve got all that to negotiate.'”
He continued: “Well, I’d already negotiated. I already moved off my mark on several areas. So, the issue, very frankly, is we’ve had the negotiation in my mind and the agent’s trying to get his nose in it right now and try to come in there and improve off the mark that we already set.”
Jones also revealed that his offer to Parsons would have made the pass-rusher the highest-paid non-quarterback in terms of guaranteed money.
