Cowboys' Parsons Retweets JJ Watt Criticizing Owner Jones Amid Contract Talks

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones sparked controversy by publicly criticizing star linebacker Micah Parsons and quarterback Dak Prescott over their injury histories amid Parsons' ongoing contract negotiations. Jones questioned Parsons' availability despite signing him, and referenced Prescott's missed games following his record-setting contract, comments that drew sharp rebuke from NFL legend JJ Watt. Watt sarcastically criticized Jones on social media for taking digs at key players before the season, suggesting such remarks demotivate rather than inspire. Parsons echoed Watt's sentiments by retweeting his post, signaling displeasure with Jones' statements. Despite missing some games in 2024, Parsons has maintained elite performance, making him a highly sought-after player for a lucrative contract extension. The situation highlights tensions within the Cowboys' management and player relations as training camp approaches.
