Watt negotiations"},"content":{"rendered":"

As we approach training camp, the one major question surrounding the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> is Micah Parsons getting a new deal before the start of the season. This offseason has been filled with back-and-forth from Micah Parsons and the Jones\u2019 in terms of negotiation through the media. Parsons has been on record multiple times asking Jerry and Stephen to \u201ccall his agent\u201d, while the Jones\u2019 joked they would deal with Parsons himself instead of his agent, who Jerry claimed not to know<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The negotiations feel like they are at a standstill with both parties seeming comfortable waiting until sometime during training camp. It sure sounds like Parsons is looking to be the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL, which would put his average annual value at or around $40 million per year, eclipsing Myles Garrett\u2019s four year, $160 million contract extension with the Browns<\/a> signed earlier this year.<\/p>\n

One holdup here now is Pittsburgh Steeler\u2019s edge rusher T.J. Watt.<\/p>\n

Watt is currently in a similar situation as Parsons, as he is currently under contract but not happy with his contract situation. According to Adam Schefter, teams have began reaching out to the Steelers<\/a> to see if he is available on the trade market, but the Steeler\u2019s have no intent of trading their star defender. Whether it is in Pittsburgh or in a new city, it sounds like Watt will also be looking to be paid in the same realm as Myles Garrett, Ja\u2019Marr Chase, and Maxx Crosby.<\/p>\n

In the end, that is bad news for the Cowboys and their salary cap, as waiting to \u201ccall Micah\u2019s agent\u201d may end up costing them quite a bit of money in the end. The Cowboys have struggled to get ahead of deals with their star players in the past, and it sure sounds like waiting on the Parsons\u2019 deal will only hurt the Cowboys in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As we approach training camp, the one major question surrounding the Dallas Cowboys is Micah Parsons getting a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":37772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[931,7316,7317,5347,30583,7311,1596,7634,3853,204,30584,30581,2852,1232,30582,62,469,448,67,132,68,30585],"class_list":{"0":"post-37771","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-and","9":"tag-blogging","10":"tag-boys","11":"tag-by","12":"tag-complicated","13":"tag-cowboys","14":"tag-dallas","15":"tag-dallas-cowboys-roster","16":"tag-deal","17":"tag-front-page","18":"tag-j","19":"tag-micah","20":"tag-negotiations","21":"tag-nfl","22":"tag-parsons","23":"tag-sports","24":"tag-t","25":"tag-the","26":"tag-united-states","27":"tag-unitedstates","28":"tag-us","29":"tag-watt"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114794386227904653","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=37771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=37771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
