it\u2019s not a bluff<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s lost, but it\u2019s in need of repair,\u201d Belt said regarding Parsons\u2019s relationship with the team. \u201cThe way things are currently, they want out. The Cowboys have to be the ones to extend the olive branch and say, \u2018Hey, we\u2019ll fix this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Belt said he spoke to agent David Mulugheta, who first raised with the team a desire to do a new deal for Parsons after the 2023 season. The Cowboys wanted to wait. Eighteen months later, they\u2019re still waiting.<\/p>\n
In the interim, of course, Jones came to the conclusion that a handshake deal was done. Parsons disagrees.<\/p>\n
Regardless, the two sides need to talk or nothing will get done.<\/p>\n
Which brings us back to the question of whether the Cowboys hope to kick the can until 2026, and to pay Parsons only $24 million in 2025. If that\u2019s what Jones wants to do, it makes sense to not be talking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Six days ago, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons posted a public trade request.
