Nick Wright says Jerry Jones’s dealings with the Mika Parsons conflict is “immoral.”
Another day has passed, and Micah Parsons still doesn’t have a new deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
One day after Parsons’ fiery trade request on Aug. 1, owner Jerry Jones had a brazen response to growing concerns surrounding the situation, insisting the standoff with the All-Pro pass rusher is no different from past situations he has dealt with. “Don’t lose any sleep over it,” Jones said. “That’s the one thing I would say to our fans.”
That led FOX Sports’ Nick Wright to outwardly criticize Jones on Monday’s edition of “First Things First.”
“The entire … press gathering was kind of surreal, even by Jerry’s standards,” he said. “The whole thing was bizarre, but what is very, very clear to me is two things. One of which is: Jerry feels like they (he and Parsons) had an agreement, and he wants to stick to it — and I think that that is an unethical way to do business. … My other big takeaway is this: Jerry wants to be the star of this negotiation. He made that very clear. …
“I think ultimately it (a new deal) gets done. I don’t think Micah gets traded. I think Jerry ends up caving, but I also think … even if it gets done, they damaged the relationship significantly.”
Parsons and the Cowboys began contract discussions in January. Some discourse arose in April when Jones mentioned at the NFL’s annual league meeting that he was communicating directly with Parsons about a potential new deal, while Parsons let it be known that he wouldn’t be doing any deal without his agent, David Mulugheta, involved.
In June, Parsons said that he was “hanging in tight” and “hopeful” that he’d have a new deal done before the start of training camp on July 20. One day before the start of camp, Jones seemingly questioned Parsons’ durability by mentioning he missed a handful of games because of a high ankle sprain last season — the first time the 26-year-old had dealt with an injury in his professional career — when asked by reporters for an update on the negotiations.
While Parsons didn’t directly respond to Jones’ comment, he reshared a social media post from former NFL star J.J. Watt that read, in part, “Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it.”
Parsons had reported to camp in Oxnard, California, but only observed from the sidelines and did not participate.

Parsons submitted an official commercial request this month, as they summoned the Jones family how they dealt with contract negotiations and revealed that they “did not find a single conversation” with his agent. “I don’t want to be here,” Parsons wrote in a statement more than 1000 words. “I no longer want to be detained in nearby negotiations without a present and an automatic.
Parsons went on to say he met March to “talk about leadership” and that the conversation turned into a contract. “Yes, I participated in back and forth [with] Parsons revealed that Parsons had informed that Mr. Jones was then supposed to be an official negotiator, after which Mr. Jones informed that my agent would believe that this would lead to the completion of matters. But when my agent communicated and spoke to (the director of salary contracts/player) Adam Brasifka, he was told that the deal had already been done. My agent, of course, told him that it was not so and … again, the team decided to remain silent. “
Jones added more fuel to the fire two days later, saying that former beef star Dies Bryant – Those who publicly expressed his support for Barrson on social media The Roc Nation SPORTS JAY-Z is the reason why it is unwilling to deal with agents in the discussions of the players’ contract. The 82 -year -old He told reporters It resigned that Jay Z gave his calls after spent the two hours negotiating a new contract for Brint in 2015, Claiming.
Parsons was chosen in the first round in 2021, and he has at least 12.0 bags in both his four seasons in Dallas and has 52.5 in his career. He also had 12 games to lose in 13 games last season. Parsons goes to the fifth and final year of his rising deal and the concession can be tagged in 2026 without extension. It is scheduled to achieve $ 24.007 million in 2025.
