Jerry Jones of Cowboys defends the trade of Micah Parsons in a confusing press conference

After the shocking trade that the Dallas cowboys did yesterday with the Packers of Green Bay, who sent the Bowler Pro Micah Parsons to Green Bay in exchange for two first -round draft choices and the third defensive platform of the Pro Bowl, Kenny Clark, the owner of the cowboys Jones Jones and the director of the Operation Stephen Jones ( Jerry.

“Obviously, we thought it was in the best interest of our organization. Not only the future, but also at the moment, this season,” Jerry Jones told media members last night. “We won a pro Bowl player. We acquired a pro Bowl player in an area in which we had great concerns or concerns within our defense. ”

Jones continued by saying that he thinks strongly of Micah Parsons. And although he tried to conclude an agreement with the 26 -year -old rusher pass, the two parties could not conclude an agreement.

“I really like Micah. I appreciate the four years we have had it here, and he is a great player. So we are very grateful because he is a great player,” said Jones. “There is no doubt that I could have signed it in April. We all know that to have agreements, all parties must agree, but it was by design. I made an offer an offer. It was not acceptable, and I honor the fact that this was not done in the way he wanted to do it: through an agent.”

According to Billy Heyen of Sporting News, the Cowboys offered Micah Parsons a five -year contract worth $ 202.5 million, which is equivalent to $ 40.5 million per year. However, the packers’ agreement was four years and $ 188 million, according to sources that spoke to ESPN, an average annual value of $ 47 million.

“There is not an ounce of vindictive,” said Jones. “There are no bad feelings on my part on the fact that we did not meet on an agreement.”

Jerry Jones has mentioned how cowboys have had an incredibly difficult time to defend themselves against the race in recent years. At this stage of the press conference, Jones began to accidentally refer to Micah Parsons like Michael.

“The facts are, in particular, we have to stop the race, and we have not been able to stop the race at key moments for several years,” he said. “And when you have the kind of rush to the extraordinary passes that Michael had, then the way to mitigate this rush to the passes is to run you. If the rush to the passes did not advance you quite a long time, and you play even or behind, then you really have a problem to stop the race … It was a very deliberate reflection on a key player who could help us make a lot of consideration.

Jerry Jones added that he was thinking of going from Micah Parsons since Brian Schottenheimer was appointed coach of the team on January 24, 2025. Again, Jones also referred to Micah Parsons like Michael.

“You must allocate your resources. Whether choosing project or finances, you must allocate these resources,” he said. “There was no doubt in our mind that Michael could bring us a lot of resources on a profession. It has been in my mind since we hired Brian. ”

Jones said that the attention of the media around controversial contractual negotiations between Cowboys and Parsons helped trade with Green Bay.

“It turns out that all the advertising of not having a contract-you have certainly done your part to make sure that it was known that it was potentially available,” he said. “I really appreciate this, and I say that a little tongue in the cheek.”

Jerry Jones was also very enthusiastic about the prospect of landing high -flying talents with the draft choices that the cowboys obtained in the profession. It was a rather strange statement to make, given that Micah Parsons was in four Struits bowls and was appointed three times All-Pro since his arrival in the League in 2021.
