Micah Parsons is poised to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history when he signs his next contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Despite being a star player, he currently has no contract as the regular season approaches. Team owner Jerry Jones commented on contract negotiations, referencing Parsons' past injuries and the uncertainty of player performance despite high salaries. His remarks drew criticism from former NFL All-Pro JJ Watt, who used social media to express disdain for Jones's comments, highlighting the impact on team morale and player motivation during contract talks.
"Just because we sign him, doesn't mean we're gonna have him. He was hurt six games last year, seriously," said Jones, "I remember signing a player for the highest paid at the position in the league and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year, Dak Prescott, so there's a lot of things you can think about, just as the player does when you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money."
Anytime you can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star pass rusher simultaneously, right before the season begins, you just gotta take it... Nothing makes guys want to fight for you more than hearing how upset you are that they got hurt while fighting for you.
