Jerry Jones Discusses Micah Parsons' Contract Negotiations, Agent's Role Marginalized

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has confirmed ongoing discussions regarding a contract extension for star linebacker Micah Parsons, emphasizing that he prefers direct communication with players over involving agents. Despite acknowledging a general agreement on terms, Jones notably stated he does not know Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, and considers the agent's role insignificant in the process. Parsons, however, has publicly asserted his trust in Mulugheta, insisting that any contract negotiations must include his agent's involvement. The Cowboys are in no rush to finalize the deal, as Parsons is in the final year of his rookie contract, and Jones has stated he prefers to 'get it right' rather than act with urgency. The anticipated contract is expected to make Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, especially with rising salaries influencing market dynamics. As the situation unfolds, it remains clear that Parsons will not finalize any agreement without his agent's input.
