In another stunning twist between Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys, and Micah Parsons, Jones puts Parsons' agent on blast. You get the sense that this standoff is not only going to last in the regular season, but could also end up with Parsons not in a Cowboys' uniform.

Every single person on the planet likely knows about this situation at this point. Micah Parsons wanted paid like a top defensive player in the NFL, and he is - Parsons has 52.5 sacks over his first four seasons in the NFL and is, objectively, one of the 10-best players in this league.

However, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys have not gone about these contract negotiations in a smart way, and it recently led to Parsons requesting a trade. Well, Jones has now put Micah Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, on blast, and it isn't pretty.

Here is Jones speaking to Michael Irvin recently on the situation:

Naturally, Parsons' agent is saying that he didn't say these things, so this is a case of 'he said, she said,' The truth, likely, is somewhere in the middle, but given that a deal has not been agreed to at this point, one thing that does appear to be correct is the perhaps now personal disliking that Jones and Parsons' agent could have for each other.

At the end of the day, while Jerry Jones could be right, he and the Cowboys have totally botched this entire situation, period. Jones might be trying to do some damage control at this point or could be running his mouth knowing a deal will soon be agreed to.

Whatever the case may be, it's not a good look for the franchise in any sense. Dallas doesn't have their best player on the field, and you get the sense that 31 other teams would have gotten a deal done at this point.
