2025 Random Cowboys Stuff Thread

[NoDak]

Might be some hope for Milton after all.

Maybe.

 

[NoDak]

Wrong thread. Stealing Booze's act?

Yes.




God damn it.

 

[Simpleton]

Better hope that 1. this dumbo actually can return by week 3ish, and 2. that he doesn't look like warmed over shit as he did last year when he came back from injury.

I'm slightly optimistic because I think he knows he's getting cut if he doesn't come back playing somewhat decent.

In the meantime they're lucky that the first few games are against so-so QB's and/or relatively weak WR's.

 

[Smitty]

Jerry said he called Mike Lynn and told him he's cutting all 5 players.

Umm, no. He cut 3 after the season, traded Darrin Nelson to SD, and Holt was there through the 92 season.

Yet we are to believe this is the genius who orchestrated the trade.

 

[Smitty]

It seems like everyone is a bad guy here if we're being honest.

The agent seems like a tremendous piece of shit.

 

[Smitty]

OK, devil's advocate.....do you really need an agent for this? Lamar Jackson doesn't have one and got fuckin PAID. 5 years 260....185 guaranteed.

So make sure the years, the money, and most of all, the guarantee is right and cut the fuckin agent and his percentage out.

You don’t. The agent needs an ego reduction. The agent’s job should be to advise, not be the exclusive point of contact. But if the agent can’t be the everything, he’s less valuable.

Bingo. Seems to me that's what this whole thing is about. Mulugheta's ego says he can't allow this to happen, because it could hurt his reputation and brand as the biggest, baddest superagent around.

Doesn't help that the media are full of extreme pro-player types like Florio who are constantly trying to convince them that the owners are always the bad guy trying to screw them.

That whole narrative is insane to me.

The notion that an owner is somehow trying to "screw" a player by giving him say $150 million contract with about $100 million guaranteed is absurd.

If that's getting screwed then call me a whore because I'd want to get screwed all the time.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Just saw this... Start at about 2:55 (or 1:30 for a little more) and I think he nails it.

Right, I understand wanting all the money you can get, but where do you draw the line on getting every last penny vs being happy with a humongous deal that gives your truly generational wealth? Do you sit out six games over a couple hundred grand? To the agent, you probably should, because it isn't his career affected going forward. All he cares about is every last cent. But that's not best for the player, I don't think.

Parsons isn't getting screwed. The agent is a dick. And I'm still going to blame Jerry for fucking the relationship and situation up. Because he has fucked it up as well. And it's not just this contract that I can point to as to how he fucked it up.

But at this point I no longer think a deal is getting done before the season. I think Parsons plays under his current deal and a contract is done at a later date.

The other thing is that lots of these "media" members are now in bed with either the agents, players or team ownership/executives so that they can be fed stories 8 minutes before they break publicly.

So you never know who exactly is in bed with whom, which distorts things.

Higgins had to get rid of Mulugheta before his extension got done. I think he was franchised for 2024, got rid of Mulugheta and then the extension got done this past offseason.

 

[Bipo]

The agent seems like a tremendous piece of shit.

Yeah, he seems to be going for the Scott Boras thing.

If I'm not mistaken, there are MLB teams that refuse to deal with him.

Parsons declined to answer questions after the Cowboys' 31-13 win, but cornerback Trevon Diggs answered some on his behalf, even saying Parsons had an MRI on his back Friday.

During the June minicamp and again at the start of training camp, Parsons said he was dealing with back tightness. He received treatment while in Oxnard, California, but owner and general manager Jerry Jones believed the back tightness was in the same category as the trade request -- just part of the negotiations for a long-term deal.

Asked if he thinks Parsons will play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1, Diggs said, "It depends on how his back feels. I know he was real sore this morning. He went and got it checked out. That's the last thing I heard from him."

WTF, is Diggs his personal bitch now?

Cowboys conclude preseason as Parsons looks on

Micah Parsons attended Friday night's preseason finale against Atlanta, the only player not to wear a jersey on the sidelines. He declined to answer questions after the game, but cornerback Trevon Diggs answered some on his behalf.

[Chocolate Lab]

Yeah, this another reason I'm not a Diggs fan. No doubt in my mind he's been a negative influence on Micah though all of this.

Does he not realize that this is an argument against giving him an extension?

If his back is this bad and he hasn't played a game in 8 months? I'd be very hesitant to give him an extension.

This hurts (if taken at face value) Micah's position way more than it helps.

Dumbass.

They probably look at Jer's retarded history with Dak getting a major injury and still becoming the highest paid QB in history (the first time) and think it doesn't matter.

Tee Higgins ended up firing Mul because he really wanted to stay in Cincy instead of pulling in every last dollar he could get.

Tee Higgins ended up firing Mul because he really wanted to stay in Cincy instead of pulling in every last dollar he could get.

And Parsons supposedly didn't want to squeeze every last dollar either, at least as of a few months ago.

At this point I'm kind of hoping that we just flip him for another young edge rusher like Rousseau or Oweh, plus two 1's and change.
