Shan Shariff of Dallas sports radio station 105.3 The Fan dropped some interesting news on Friday regarding how some within the Dallas Cowboys organization might feel about Micah Parsons.
Here we go again…..
Shariff said a handful of people have told him that Parsons has “worn thin there.”
First of all, what does that even mean? Secondly, Parsons will probably end up speaking about this at some point on his podcast just like he did when Jesse Holley called him out.
Starting To Get Weird
At some point we might have to start believing what some of these people say, but it’s odd.
It started a few months ago when Holley said Parsons “is probably the most selfish player on this football team,” and only wants to be great for himself and nobody else.
Parsons then responded on his pod saying he is willing to do whatever helps the team win games.
Well, here we are again, in the middle of the offseason, and people are talking about Micah again.
I don’t know how much I trust this information that Shariff dropped to us all, but he clearly is closer than any of us to the situation.
Parsons has two years left on his current deal, he’s already earned Defensive Rookie of the Year, a two-time First-Team All-Pro selection.
Dez Bryant’s Response
Dez Bryant remembers the media around the Star all to well.
He thinks now that Micah Parsons is close to maybe becoming the highest paid defensive player in league history, the media is just playing games with him.
Check out his tweet below.
In March of 2015, the Cowboys placed a franchise tag on Bryant and he was very vocal about the situation.
He has dealt with his first hand, he told all of Cowboys Nation that if he didn’t get a contract he wouldn’t show up for the team.
Both sides butted heads, he has said that many times since his playing days ended.
Bryant did in fact sign a five-year, $70 million contract that included $45 million of guaranteed money and a $20 million signing bonus.
It seems the front office may be trying to play games again knowing Micah is about to be paid.
We Don’t Have Names
This is what I’ll end with — until we have the names of who said these things about Micah, all we have is drama from those “around” the team.
Sure, Micah Parsons is a guy who likes to talk his trash, but that’s who he is, he isn’t a quiet kid sitting in the corner getting all A’s, he’s the one who is loud and proud about it.
The Dallas Cowboys are going to have to pay he, CeeDee Lamb for sure, but after that who knows.
It seems that Dak Prescott is playing for his career in Dallas this season if a deal doesn’t get done.
Yet they are doing the rest of the team no favors by not getting deals done to create more cap space. Jerry and the clan could create over $50M if they really wanted to.
They will use the draft again, fail like they always do, and it might be time to say goodbye to this core group of ever winning anything.
If you really want to know all that goes on when it comes to this stuff, click on the Dez Bryant tweet above and check out his Twitter.
He does a good job telling us the truth about how/way this happens inside that organization.
But again, until I hear some names with the drama, I’ll leave it at that. Micah has the chance to be maybe the best defender in Cowboys history, let him be who is he is.
