Cowboys' Contract Negotiation Tensions with Parsons

News summary

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is attempting to negotiate a new contract for star linebacker Micah Parsons by bypassing Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, which has led to tensions. Jones has a history of direct negotiations with players, but Parsons insists on Mulugheta's involvement, emphasizing his expertise in securing deals worth over $1 billion for other NFL players. Despite Jones claiming progress in negotiations with Parsons personally, Parsons has publicly defended his agent and criticized Jones' tactics as disrespectful. The NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement mandates that teams negotiate with a player's certified agent if the player requests it, adding complexity to the situation. The Cowboys reportedly offered a deal that could make Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, but Parsons won't finalize any agreement without Mulugheta's approval.
