Micah Parsons *possible* trade incoming?

[flv2]

Surprised Philly's D is only $66.1 million, but I guess they still have a bunch of rookie contracts yet to be renewed.

It's probably calculated by cap numbers rather than what players cost.

Impressive form! Give the Cowboys ten #1 picks for this guy, post haste!

Wow. I think had he stayed at home it would have looked better than that does. Would staying home have initiated a big fine or something?

If I were the Cowboys, I wouldn’t do anything. Let him sit out.

I got to agree, a contract should be binding (You signed it)
if he wants to sit out, then sit as your FA season gets moved up another year etc.

If I understand it correctly parsons can be franchised two years after this year. Parsons is trying for the golden pot in the sky but I think he wearing himself out treading water in the deep end of the pool.

I think this Parsons/Jones ordeal just goes to show how bloody awful the rookie contract terms in the CBA are for the players, especially the first rounders. It's mind-boggling to me how much the power imbalance is tilted toward the interests of the owners over the players. It's bad enough that the players can't choose where they want to work and live, but rather have these things forced upon them in the draft. It's worse that the owners could have that much control over their careers which are very short in nature.

I'm close to one hundred percent on Parsons' side in this soap opera. If Jones doesn't like him, if the relationship is broken, then trade him and move on. I hope Parsons does sit out games and costs the Cowboys and Jones as a result of it. But it's his money, not mine. If he does sit out and loses millions for it, to me it shows that he's making a stand on principle, and I'd respect him for that.

This isn't just about what you describe. Whatever your own career in life is, how would you feel if some unproven greenhorn straight out of college came in and started making more than you do, at your job, while you've proven you're very good at it? Rookie QB contracts before they ever stepped foot on an NFL field were setting new highs for QB pay per year before the big rookie contract change, which was absurd. I think the current limits are too harsh, but they still need heavy limiting compared to "best in class" pay for veterans. Additionally, the salary "floor" of spending at least 89% of the cap over four years (rolling average minimum, I think) means that owners aren't really saving money on rookie salary caps, lol. It supports more equitable distribution of good pay for those who have already proven they aren't a bust, and I'm all for that.

I'm sorry, but I think it's crazy that the owners could have up to seven years control over a first round pick if they should so choose to exercise that choice. The franchise tag itself is ridiculously in favor of the owners over the players, kind of like a trump card they can pull out of their pocket and use when things aren't going their way.

Franchise tag pays very well and way beyond well the second time.

Both team/player use the franchise tag to sign an extension, the player
always gets paid more than he's worth.

I think you believe they care about more than $$$$ (They try to imply it)
but I don't believe it.

My guess is that Parsons would be worth way more than the money he'd make if the Cowboys put that first franchise tag on him. Without the franchise tag, Parsons would have a lot more leverage than he currently has in this soap opera now.

That sucks for parsons, so he has to sit out three years to really stand his ground

The Cowboys agreed to pick up the fifth year option.

The problem is that in my line of work no greenhorn is gonna get paid more, ever. Unless they can step in and do my job, then I’d gladly pay him cause that kinda talent is hard to find. The nfl rookies are valuable because of what they MIGHT become. When rookies got massive contracts we had things like Ryan Leaf

 

[warden]

The Cowboys gave all their money to Dak. He is a QB drool drool, let’s give him all our money. Let’s give a butt load to our WR, fantasy football rules. So much for having money for their best defensive player.

Cincinnati did the same thing, gave all their money to an QB and their WRS, now they can’t afford their best defensive player.

Massive salaries even to the QB make the team weak in other areas. Rookie QB deals are the best thing right now. It has become more about the ego of making the big deal then it is about making a good football team

Don’t read this unless you want to but this article is the most disgraceful click bait, attention grabbing flail at readers I’ve ever seen

The Packers could make a huge splash with a trade that will make them a Super Bowl Contender. Green Bay will also have to add a large amount of money to the potential trade.
