What the Cowboys should have done is extend Parsons after 3 years when the high end rate for DE was 35M per year. But the Cowboys never willingly pay their first round picks after 3 years.

No offense to you or other Cowboys fans, but Jerry Jones makes my lips curl into a sneer. Read this; it's just the latest reason why:
Micah Parsons traded from Cowboys to Packers: What Jerry Jones said at his press conference
Here, let me jerry-pick a few cherries for you:
- "Jerry Jones spent much of the offseason talking about -- but not to -- Micah Parsons, and many of those talks proved unproductive."
- "Jones disclosed that he had talked to Parsons plenty but that he wasn't worried about talking to an agent and in fact he didn't even know the name of Parsons' agent." Real respect.
- "[Parsons] no longer wanted to negotiate without an agent, he didn't want to be on a team that took shots at him for being injured (which Jones did in July)."
- "Jones said many times over the course of the offseason that he had no plans to trade Parsons. Then Thursday came."
- "In his press conference after the trade, Jones even smiled and thanked the media for writing up the headline that he hadn't planned to trade Parsons, as it was part of his negotiation tactics."
- "Even though he called him 'Michael' on multiple occasions, Jerry Jones repeated several times that there were no bad feelings between himself and Parsons, and that he even talked with Parsons' mother for an extended period during a preseason game." How heartwarming.
Yecchh. I usually like to include a photo with my posts, but not of that toad face. Instead, here's MICAH Parsons. Good for him and the Packers!
Whenever I see a Cowboys game to be telecast, I have a huge incentive to tune in and root for the Cowboys to lose. Not because of Dallas, or the Cowboys, or their fans, but because of Jerry Jones. Get him to sell the team!
