As with any contract extension in the NFL, the agent of Micah Parsons was heavily involved. This specific scenario possibly had David Mulugheta out in public more than others, though. Mulugheta was continually brought up throughout the process by Parsons and Dallas Cowboys owner/general manager Jerry Jones.
Days after Parsons was traded to the Green Bay Packers, Cowboys legend Michael Irvin called out Mulugheta. Obviously, Irvin wanted Parsons to stay in Dallas and until the trade, was confident something would get worked out. But Irvin believes Mulugheta “blew” what his ultimate job was.
“The agent, who does a great job went on our boy’s show yesterday, Stephen A,” Irvin said. “He said ‘Micah wanted to be a Dallas Cowboy.’ Then your next statement is null and void, then. Everything else. Because your job, you blew your job. I don’t want to hear you tell me ‘I raised the number by $5 million. That’s new money, new year’ … when you could have worked out a deal where Micah is taking home more money.
“You could have worked out a deal and they should have put their egos aside and gotten that deal worked out. The No. 1 thing he said was ‘Micah wanted to be a Dallas Cowboy.’ That’s your job. To go get the most money from the Dallas Cowboys. That is your job and they failed that.”
