NFL Rumors: Micah Parsons Expected To Get A $161M Deal From Dallas Cowboys

Micah Parsons, Dallas Cowboys linebacker, may soon become the highest-paid non-quarterback player in NFL history, according to recent reports of a deal going down between the player and the franchise. It seems like the team’s owner, Jerry Jones, has been in conversation with Parsons during the NFL Scouting Combine, especially since the 25-year-old linebacker is in the final year of his contract with the team.

However, the conversations surrounding the deal did not involve David Mulugheta, Micah Parsons’ agent, and this has sparked criticism of the team owner, Jerry Jones. Fans have been calling out Jerry Jones for disrespecting Parsons’ agent by not inviting him to the conversations, and also for forgetting his name while speaking to a reporter.

Micah Parsons has been playing for the Dallas Cowboys since 2021, after being selected by the team as the 12th pick in the very first round of the NFL draft. Before stepping foot into the NFL, Parsons played college football for the Penn State Nittany Lions from 2018 to 2020.

Parsons has really stepped up the defense of the Dallas Cowboys after coming into the scene, bringing about a spectacular balance for the team’s incredible offense involving quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb. In the previous NFL season, Parsons managed a total of 30 solo tackles, with 12 sacks for the team.

Micah Parsons’ Agent’s Name Forgotten By Jerry Jones

While the negotiations between Micah Parsons and Dallas Cowboys’ owner Jerry Jones are definitely on, the whole issue has become fodder for social media forums mainly since the player’s sports agent was left out of the conversations. Parsons’ sports agent, David Mulugheta was not present while he spoke to Jerry Jones over the last few weeks, although the two met more than just a couple of times.

Fans and supporters of Micah Parsons were quick to criticize this fact, and also that Jerry Jones actually forgot the name of the sports agent. When Jones was reminded of this in a conversation much later on, he did not realize what the big deal is, and that one-on-one conversations with players happen all the time.

According to Jones, his team has an open-door policy which means that players can walk up to him at any time. Jones apparently spoke to Parsons for more than five hours about his deal, and didn’t feel the need to have Mulugheta present at those conversations.
