“I’m sick to my stomach if I’m Micah Parsons. The Cowboys are sitting back like ‘all is well, status quo.’ If you’re Micah do you really want to be a part of that?” – ESPN<\/div>\n

FRISCO – The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0and their “selectively aggressive” philosophy moved them to trade for George Pickens … maybe putting a cork into some of the criticism that “America’s Team” is unwilling to do enough to compete.<\/p>\n

But the next step remains undone. And the national media is getting that itch …<\/p>\n

All-Pro defensive star Micah Parsons this offseason responded to the\u00a0Washington Commanders\u00a0acquiring Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil to protect rising\u00a0quarterback\u00a0Jayden Daniels with three simple letters:\u00a0WFT.<\/p>\n

In response to Parsons’ visible frustration, ESPN’s Get Up! offers advice to the star, who is under contract for 2025 and has worked with the\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0in negotiating a contract extension that we believe could end in a five-year, $200 million deal that would make him the highest-paid non-QB in\u00a0NFL\u00a0history.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s advice? In short, “Dallas sucks.”<\/p>\n

That day, host Mike Greenberg and panelists Dan Orlovsky and Damien Woody took turns ripping the Cowboys while also telling Parsons to leave Dallas … with no details of what that strategy would look like.<\/p>\n

“Get used to it,” Greenberg said of other teams doing more than Dallas does.<\/p>\n

Orlovsky: “The Cowboys are 13th in free-agency spending the last three seasons, yet their value has gone up $3 billion. That’s an owner stat, not a football stat.”<\/p>\n

Woody: “I’m sick to my stomach if I’m Micah. The Cowboys are sitting back like ‘all is well, status quo.’ If you’re Micah do you really want to be a part of that?”<\/p>\n

Of course, here we are a few weeks later and ESPN feels all wrong. The Cowboys didn’t “sit back.” They are clearly trying to compete.<\/p>\n

And yet …<\/p>\n

The national media advice never stops, with PFT’s Mike Florio advising Parsons to stay away from offseason workouts until a new deal is done.<\/p>\n

That advice ignores the fact that Parsons is presently under contract … and as it includes the statement “the Cowboys are clueless,” feels like nothing more that contrarian trolling.<\/p>\n

And it echoes something Greenberg said in his “advice to Micah.”<\/p>\n

“Do I want to be one of the biggest stars in the NFL – because the Cowboys can do that – or do I want to be on a championship team?” he wondered. “Right now the Cowboys feel about as far from that as anyone in the entire league.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
