Micah Parsons, one of the NFL’s most explosive defenders, has become the focal point of a growing contract saga in Dallas.
With his rookie deal nearing its end, the Cowboys front office is under pressure to extend the All-Pro linebacker-but negotiations have proven anything but routine.
Parsons is currently on the final year of his rookie contract, worth just over $24 million. His performance since entering the league has positioned him to become one of the highest-paid defensive players in NFL history.
However, recent remarks by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones have sparked tension. In an eyebrow-raising statement, Jones suggested he could skip over Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, and work directly with the player: “I’m the one who has to sign the check, and Micah is the one who has to agree to it.”

That comment didn’t go unnoticed. Parsons quickly took to social media to clarify that any deal must go through his agent, asserting, “I will not be doing any deal without David Mulugheta involved!” The message was clear: Parsons values the expertise and representation of his agent, and he won’t tolerate being bypassed.
Leadership stays positive amid ongoing talks
Despite the public exchange, it appears both sides are still working toward a resolution. Jerry Jones later shared that he had a multi-hour conversation with Parsons to iron out the details. According to Jones, most major issues have been agreed upon, but key details still remain unresolved.
Executive Vice President Stephen Jones echoed his father’s optimistic tone, stating there was no disappointment within the organization regarding the slow pace of negotiations. “We’ve had good communication,” he said, indicating that the front office is staying flexible and receptive.
Reports indicate that Parsons is seeking a deal in the range of five years and $40 million annually. That figure would set a new record for non-quarterbacks, underscoring the significance of these talks not just for the Cowboys, but for league-wide contract standards.
Jerry Jones, for his part, has downplayed urgency. “I’d rather pay more and get it right,” he said, suggesting that the team is willing to let the process play out-even if it means a more expensive deal later.
As the Cowboys prepare for a challenging 2025 season, locking in their defensive cornerstone has never been more critical. While the road to a deal has been rocky, the ongoing dialogue between team leadership and Parsons could ultimately pave the way for a long-term agreement.

Brock Purdy, 49ers agree to 5-year contract extension: Sources
Brock Purdy has gone from Mr. Irrelevant to Mr. Moneybags.Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers on Friday agreed to terms on a five-year, $265 million contract extension that makes him the wealthiest player in franchise history, league sources told to The Athletic.For perspective, the 49ers gave their former quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, a five-year, $137.5 million deal in 2018 that briefly made Garoppolo the highest paid player in the NFL.

Herning (od našeho zpravodaje) - Přestože Hertlovy problémy s ramenem rozhodně nebyly zanedbatelného charakteru, slávistický odchovanec s nimi v play off NHL nastupoval. na jeho výkonech se však zdravotní trable podepisovaly. V posledních sedmi duelech nezaznamenal jediný kanadský bod.„Z důvodu závažnosti zranění Tomáše Hertla, se kterým odehrál zápasy play off, není možné, aby ho klub uvolnil pro mistrovství světa.
