the asking price is going to be insanely like 2 first high and you still need to pay him TJ Watt money. It's a lot to commit too.

I’m starting to view the NFL and cap the same as the economy. None of it’s real, will always go up, and you can make it look as good or bad as you want.

Dude, we have more than one guy to stop the run. Have you really researched our free agent acquisitions (much less the rookies)? I don't expect that to be a big issue this season, with or without DB.

That's where things get murky. What's he asking? I mean we're entering waters where now second round rookies are getting fully guaranteed contracts. He wants a deal that will dwarf recent top defender contracts. Is he worth it? I can't say. He's certainly talented. But we are not one piece away and that's a one piece away move. We are still waiting to see Bryce have his breakout season in year 3. Let's be realistic.

Well, that's your opinion.

He wants his bag. He will be happy here if he was paid what he wants.

David Tepper is a meddler until proven otherwise. We're still waiting to see if he's truly evolved. Until then while he isn't Jerry Richardson he isn't necessarily better by comparison either.

"Public spats" and especially "internal friction," I wonder how many Cowboys have had that issue over the years... I can deal with "candid and emotional." You're trying to paint Parsons as a net negative in regards to being a teammate, and at its core that's a load of crap.

Problem with that trade is we now have nobody to stop the run and we run into the same problem as last year - teams will just run the ball every down and never pass. Not sure Dallas would take it anyway with the injury DB had last year. They would want to see how he looks this year before making that trade

Tepper isn't the GM. This is about contractual negotiations and the Cowboys playing the public game and not having any discussions with Micah's agent. Micah is a top player in the NFL (some have said the best at times), and players of his caliber are going to be paid. They're also going to be respected. Dude is only 25 years old and won't suffer from a lack of suitors. I'm sure we're calling, as it would be managerial malfeasance not to.

I was chatting with a buddy of mine and we both had the same perception of Parsons unprompted. I don't know how the idea got there, as I largely only focus on Panthers content. A quick Goog as we say seems to back that perception up, though. "Candid and emotional, public spats, and internal friction." Were listed. Brown has been pretty much perfect in his time here in my eyes.

Hey Dallas, we will give you your 4th round pick you gave us for Mingo back if you give us Micah. Definitely a fair trade - don't even think about it Dallas

If he's miserable in Dallas I do not envision him living his best life here under the Tepper's. Just the truth.

The fact is, if you look at his statement, he's tired of the circus in Dallas, and we all should understand that.

Malcontent? I hope you're only talking about with the FO, because teammates are on Micah's side according to Ian Rappaport. Parsons is highly productive (arguably the best in the NFL), and he is a locker room leader. I can understand the rationale of not wanting to pay him, but painting him as some kind of troublemaker and bad teammate doesn't pass muster

Yep

It's practice but the issue is we've seen it in live games. Plus that ball traveled through the air for an eternity. Which we've also seen.

Trading a productive locker room leader who wants to be here for a guy who is currently a malcontent in Dallas sounds like a recipe for a shitshow I agree.

Compensation, sure. But attitude? I don’t recall ever hearing anything at all negative about him… unless you’re counting him asking to be paid.

I would not like this move at all. I feel Brown is severely underrated here. He still shows up and gets the job done. Bringing on double and even triple teams. Our defense was deplorable last year. Brown missing was a large part of that. I don't like Parsons fit as far as attitude or compensation. Brown has been a favorite player of mine in his time here and has given me no reason to think otherwise.

Holy poo, I thought $30M was still top of the line for rushers lol

Called the "high-five" placement if I'm remembering correctly

They could franchise tag him I think.
