The Dallas Cowboys have already set the table for their next contract negotiation with a homegrown superstar.\u00a0It is Micah Parsons’ turn to get paid\u00a0and the process promises to be just as, if not more, anxiety-inducing as Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb’s negotiations.<\/p>\n

With significant money tied to their best players and amid an injury-riddled season, executive vice president Stephen Jones all but announced the Cowboys’ intention to tighten their budget this offseason.<\/p>\n

Prescott, Lamb, Trevon Diggs and Zack Martin are all among the highest-paid players at their respective positions. They also have DeMarcus Lawrence and Terence Steele making well north of $10 million per year.<\/p>\n

That obviously should not dissuade the Cowboys from making Parsons the highest-paid defender in NFL history, but this front office is a special breed of dysfunctional. Executive vice president Stephen Jones said\u00a0Dallas will rethink everything this offseason, including paying upper-echelon talent.<\/p>\n

In doing so, Jones didn’t rule out trading Parsons and the superstar pass rusher had a somber reaction when asked about it after\u00a0Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers.<\/p>\n

Cowboys Micah Parsons has concerning reaction to baffling trade report<\/h2>\n

“I understand how that business side goes,” said Parsons,\u00a0<\/em>via Jon Machota of The Athletic<\/em>. “There are no hard feelings in this business, whether I’m here or anywhere else. Obviously I’ve stated that I want to be here. But at the end of the day, I understand the business side.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I’ve put in a lot of work, I’ve played hard too, so obviously if sides can’t agree to those type of things, it happens like that. But I’m just happy to be here. I’m just gonna keep playing hard while I’m here. If I’m here for the next 5-6 years, I’m gonna keep playing hard then too. Ain’t nothing really gonna make a difference, Micah is gonna play hard.”<\/em><\/p>\n
