Micha Parsons isn't worth it

Micha Parsons isnt worth it

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Is coming out of Dallas because apparently we're now in
the middle of a standoff that might end with Michael
Parson becoming the highest paid non quarterback in the NFL.
But I got just got one question for you, guys.
Why why, why should Michael Parsons be the highest paid
player non quarterback in the NFL. Look, I'm not here

(00:33):
to say that Michael Parson isn't a beast. I'm not
here to say that the guy cannot rush the pasture.
There's no doubt about it. He is electric, he changes games.
But we are ready to hand him a blank check?
Are we really to put him the up on this
financial pedestal above the guys like Aaron Donald and Trent
Williams and Tyreek Hill, Like, slow it down, baby, We're

(00:54):
talking about the highest paid non quarterback territory here, the
elite of the elite. Not flashes of brilliance, not with
room to grow, not like, hey, he's good if he
just does this, does this. Let's not pretend that he
has not been the model of consistency. Yes, he does
rack up the stats, but he also disappears at times,

(01:14):
and do not get me started on his run defense.
And now the Cowboys are quote working out the deals
of a deal with the number that apparently got ownership,
sweating through their suits. But according to Jerry and Stephen Jones,
they've got the structure down, they got the lank down,
they got the guaranteed money down, they got the total
value down as well, but the actual money, the money

(01:37):
part is still a mess. But Michael Parson thinks he
is worth and more of what they're offering. Michael Parson
thinks he is worth the highest paid non quarterback in
the NFL. Steven Zones said. Stephen Jones put it plainly,
there's a difference. There's there is a difference in what
he feels and what is the right number, and what
he feels is the right number. You think on side

(02:00):
wants reasonable caps, management wants the moon. But while is
while this is going on, Michael Parson is showing a
for offseason pro pro programs, which is no surprise. And
you know what, that is good props to him, But
let's not act like this makes him some cup of martyr.
That's his job. He should be there. And Arry Jones

(02:22):
spins in like he's some heroic leadership arc. It will
be a downer if he gets a big contract but
does a step up as a leader. Guess what, Jerry,
it's been even more of a downer if you throw
in franchise entering money and a player whose leadership is
still questioning and who hasn't proved he can carry his
team in big moments. Guess what, Jerry, It's still even

(02:45):
more of a downer if you throw a franchise unterering
money at a player whose leadership is still in question.
Let me repreat that for you one more time. It
is a downer if you throw forty forty five fifty
million dollars at a non quarterback and he is not
the leadership on you on your team. And let's talk
about Micah himself. It's all not about the money. It's
all about the team thinks I'm worth. Okay, okay, But

(03:07):
what if you think your worth doesn't line up with
what you earned? Then we got a problem. Because so
far Parsons has really been good. Not record shattering, but
break the bank right, slow it down, baby now. Even
he admits that he might be not fully participate on
the field this offseason. He says he's more of a
walkthrough type of guy. And here's and here's there's out

(03:32):
of respect of coach Notton and Brian shawna Heimer, he's
trying to learn the playbook in person. Fine, whatever, but
it sounds good like a guy already calculating how much
he has to do, not someone who's setting the tone
for a team like he's supposed to lead. I get it,
talent costs money, but this is about the value. It's
not the highlight reels. The Cowboys almost bloated the the

(03:55):
CATEGAC the stary cap system last year, and now we're
seriously talking about making Michael Person the highest paid non
quarterback in league history. Not yet. Low it down, baby,
get a deal done, sure, but let's not lose our
minds in the process. Q. That intro
