Most of the contention in the Micah Parsons contract dispute dates back to a meeting between him and Jerry Jones. One where Parsons thought they were talking long-term, Jones walked away thinking a deal had been struck. From there, issues between the two sides began to arise.

Jones revealed as such during an interview with former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin. He said Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, was not… too thrilled when details were presented to him. According to Jones, everything had been ironed out between him and Jones.

“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our ass,” Jones said. “Just so we’re clear … [Micah] and I talked and then we were going to send it over to the agent. We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, all that.”

Later on, Jones revealed he agreed to make Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL when it came to guaranteed money. His average annual value would have exceeded $40 million as well. Something reports have indicated throughout, saying that will still likely occur.

“The world would know that I want Micah if they knew what I had offered him,” Jones said. “And he knows what I offered him. So, the world would know that I would want Micah on the team and respect what he would bring to the team.”
