David Mulugheta , the agent for Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons , is setting the record straight on the contract Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones offered him. While appearing on ESPN’s First Take , Mulugheta was asked if Jones really offered Parsons a contract that would have made him the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL.
“That’s a loaded question,” David Mulugheta told First Take co-host Stephen A. Smith. “From an AP-wise standpoint, if you’re looking at the average that was offered to him, I believe it was 40.5 (million), which would have made him at the time, from an AP-wise standpoint, the highest paid. That being said, the way the cash flow is structured over his first three new years, he would not be paid as the highest-paid player in the NFL.”
When the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Packers, he signed a four-year, $188 million contract, making his average salary $47 million. Mulugheta explained the difference between the deals that were offered to Parsons from the Cowboys and Packers.
