Micah Parsons' agent fires back at Jerry Jones for 'stick it up our a**' allegation

Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons were really the only ones who had previously discussed what went wrong during their contract negotiations this offseason. Now, David Mulugheta, Parsons’ agent, has given his side of the story, including a defense of himself apparently telling the Cowboys to “stick (the deal) up (their) a**”.

Mulugheta came on ‘First Take’ on Tuesday morning to talk all about his client in Parsons and what happened in their dealings with Dallas, which eventually led to his trade to and signing with the Green Bay Packers last week. He talked through the process from their side of those conversations, as they waited until this offseason until, at that point, the franchise was seemingly not as open to those discussions anymore

“As far as the contract, you know, for us, it has kind of moved at a normal pace initially. You know, we were open to doing a deal, as we stated, with the Cowboys after his third season. And, at the time, the Cowboys had other deals to do – you know, Dak Prescottwas coming up, their quarterback, their leader, as well as CeeDee. So, we knew that we would have to wait our turn until after his third season,” Mulugheta recalled. “After his fourth season, we asked again and they were ready to start negotiating a deal and, at that time, they told us they would let us know when they were. And, for some reason, that never happened with me.”

As Jones told Michael Irvin and Stephen A. Smith, it was Mulugheta who had told the Cowboys at that point to stick the contract they did offer, well, somewhere else. Mulugheta denied that, though, in saying his actual words were ones that suggested he was just going to sign off on that apparent deal, which Jones has repeatedly said that he and Parsons agreed to themselves, without looking it over for his client.

“Yeah, you know, it might be hard for some to believe, but I don’t think I’ve ever used that phrase in my life, in my 40-plus years. I definitely wouldn’t use it with somebody I have to work with, or somebody I plan on working with in the future,” said Mulugheta. “So, no, that wasn’t true and it was a misrepresentation of what I said.

“What I did tell them was, if they believe that the contract was already finalized and they were sending it over to me to be rubber stamped, then, you know, they probably shouldn’t send it over.”
