The owner of the cowboys, Jerry Jones, is not confident, Star Rusher Parsons will play in the opener
The owner and managing director of Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, does not know if the Rusher Star Edge Micah Parsons will be available for the NFL 1 match of the team against the Eagles of Philadelphia on September 4.
When asked directly after Tuesday’s joint practice with Los Angeles Rams, Jones replied: “No, absolutely not. Much of this is his decision. How would I know?”
Parsons submitted a commercial request on Friday, which Jones rejected in the context of wider negotiations surrounding a potential long -term extension.
Since then, there has been no direct communication between Jones and Parsons – even if they were only seen a few meters during training.
Asked when negotiations could take a greater sense of emergency, Jones stopped before adding: “I am urgent.”
Parsons is entering the fifth year of his recruit contract, during which he should earn $ 21.324 million under the fifth year option.
Jones underlined that other star players, including the quarter-back Dak Prescott and the Rusher de Passe Demaus Lawrence, previously played the last year of their contracts or under the franchise label before finally signing long-term agreements.
Although Parsons continues to participate in team walks, he did not participate in any training exercise.
During Tuesday session, he was seen discussing with the former RAMS offensive line player Andrew Whitworth, who has served as a mentor for parsons over the years.
He remained silent publicly since his commercial request.
In March, Jones said that he thought that the two parties had reached common ground for key terms – including the duration of the contract, guaranteed money and total value.
“Much more than you did,” said Jones at the time, referring to the offer. He also mentioned “guaranteeing someone nearly $ 200 million”.
However, Parsons later asked that all future negotiations go through his agent and that discussions have since taken the stop.
When asked if Parsons should be the only one to reopen the communication lines, Jones responded cryptically:
“You get all what’s in mind or what is said. It’s a good time. It is a subject. What is.
