The days of Dallas Cowboys Edge Rusher Micah Parsons, which should win 24.007 million dollars fully guaranteed in 2025 on its fifth year option, considering a delivery of the hometown is completed. According to Clarence Hill Jr. of all the DLLs in the city, the cowboys proposed to make parsons the best paid non-qualified in the NFL. Hill revealed that the owner of the Cowboys, Jerry Jones, had directly treated Parsons instead of the defensive agent of the year of 2021, David MuGregeta of the athlete of the year.
Jones developed when he asked the status of the new parson contract at the NFL annual meeting on Tuesday. “I know that I spent five, six hours with him myself (go) and that I had a lot of discussions. Most of the problems agree, and I discussed all of this,” said Jones. “We obviously do not agree with a new contract. Micah is under contract. So we will see how it goes. It is not uncommon for I visit directly with the players, and in this particular case, that’s what I do.”
Jones added that he had no sense of urgency to conclude an agreement with Parsons. “I prefer to pay more and do things correctly,” he said.
Jones unnecessarily Created an additional contractual drama By denigrating Mulugheta. “The agent is not a factor here or something to fear,” said Jones. “And I do not know his name. My point is that I do not try to lower it, but it is not an agent.
Parsons felt obliged to defend Mulugheta on social networks after Jones’ comments. “David is the best and I will not make any offer without (him),” tweeted Parsons. “As anyone who has a good sense, I hired experts for a reason. There is no one in whom I trust more about negotiation contracts than David! There will be no safeguards in this contract negotiation.”
Jones has a long history of trying to get around the agents when negotiating contracts. I witnessed it first -hand. When I was just starting to start in the representation of athletes, the company I worked for represented Jimmy Smith. Our expectation was that Smith would be taken in the last part of the first round of the 1992 NFL draft. Desmond Howard, the winner of the 1991 Heisman trophy, finished fourth in the general classification of Washington commanders. The next broad receiver was only taken when the Bengals of Cincinnati selected Carl Pickens 31st in the general classification, which was the third choice in the second round.
Jones called Smith while the cowboys were on the stopwatch to tell him that he was going to be taken 36th in the general classification, but only if he accepted a contract before the choice. Smith, who already felt anxiety because the NFL teams were waiting to write large receptors, accepted the conditions lower than Jones’ failure. A recruited salary scale with strict financial parameters for each project choice did not exist in 1992.
My bosses were livid. If Smith had been authorized to consult us before making a decision, he would have been invited to call the Jones bluff. My bosses told Jones that his agreement with Smith was not binding and would not be honored. An appropriate agreement for the Smith post project was then negotiated.
The parson agent has a story of strong agreements
At this stage, Parsons should empower Mugnegheta to his work as he judges. Mulugheta has a story of making strong agreements with a good structure. He was able to ensure that the quarter-Arrière Deshaun Watson was a contract of $ 230 million over five years in relation to his business in 2022 from the Texans of Houston to the Browns of Cleveland, despite four years worth $ 136 million remaining on the extension of the contract he signed with the Texans in 2020.
Mulugheta made the safety of the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay Antoine Winfield Jr. The best paid defender of the NFL last May on a contract of $ 84.1 million over four years, an average of $ 21.025 million per year. It was the first and the only time in the wage ceiling era, which started in 1994, security was the best paid defensive back in the league.
More recently, Mulugheta is responsible for the long -standing massive reset of the cornerback market. Derek Stingley Jr. has just become the first defensive of $ 30 million a year of the NFL on the extension of $ 90 million over three years with a defensive record of $ 89,026 026 in guarantees that he signed with the Texans a few weeks ago. The $ 30 million in Stingley per year is 20% more than the extension of $ 25 million per year that Jaycee Horn has signed with Carolina Panthers several days earlier, that Mulugheta also negotiated.
Duration of contractual concerns
The devil is in details with the agreement without a quarter of a quarter paid that Jones is apparently ready to do. This is the only basic parameter that Mulugheta should transfer contractual discussions from Jones with Parsons to his own negotiations with Cowboys.
Dallas prefers to sign players to large contract extensions which last at least five years. This was the case in 2023 with the Coin de Coin Trevon Diggs and the offensive tackle Terence Steele. Diggs and Steele have signed extensions of five years on average of $ 19.4 million and $ 16.5 million per year, respectively.
The reports that Parsons will eventually obtain the first $ 200 million contract extension in the NFL for non-quarters suggests that the duration will be five new years. Mulugheta should end this notion. Its objective should be on an extension of four years.
A four -year extension would not only be in line with the most recent developments at the top of the market without a quarter, but also to cowboys. The cowboys receiver of $ 34 million a year, Ceedee Lamb signed last August during the last part of the pre-season to equalize the Rusher Edge 49ers of San Francisco, Nick Bosa, the second without the highest quarter of the NFL took place for four years. The Cowboys quarter-arre, Dak Prescott, has become the first $ 60 million a year of NFL with its extension of $ 240 million over four years last September before the Dallas regular season.
The Browns made the first perennial team All-Pro Edge Rusher Myles Garrett, the first without quarter-rear of $ 40 million a year from the NFL in March. The defensive player of the year 2023 of the NFL signed an extension of $ 160 million over four years with records without a quarter of 123,596,125 $ in global guarantees and 88.8 million dollars entirely guaranteed at the signature.
The reign of Garrett at the top of the wage hierarchy without a quarter of the NFL was short -lived. Bengals have signed the wide receiver JA’MARR to continue an extension of $ 161 million over four years, on average $ 40.25 million per year with $ 112 million in guarantees several days later.
Target contract value
Barely at the top of $ 40.25 million in Chase per year should not be the goal. Chase only obtained 0.63% more than Garrett. The market without a quarter of its quarter moved by 12.68% with Garrett compared to the $ 35.5 million per year per year, the stiffness of Las Vegas Edge Rusher Maxx Crosby had just received its extension of $ 106.5 million over three years.
Insisting on the fact that the parson agreement is close to the average increase of 4.87% of the last five times a new non-paid non-quarter was established would not be an unreasonable position for Mulugheta. This type of increase compared to Chase would be slightly less than $ 42,225 million per year.
Another important data point for Mulugheta could be to adjust the Bosa contract for inflation of the salary ceiling. The salary ceiling increased by 24.2% since Bosa signed. Its agreement is just over $ 42.225 million per year when taking into account the growth of the salary ceiling.
Structural considerations
A back contract like Chase or the Garrett dishes cash flows should be transaction breaks. Chase has $ 44.816 million in 2029, the last year of its extension.
At a minimum, cowboys should be willing to imitate the LAMB cash flow percentages, although Prescott is preferable. The cash percentages of these four contracts are in the table below.

Jones is comfortable with record signature bonuses. The signing bonus of 38 million dollars of LAMB is the most for a wide receiver. The $ 78,453,333 in Prescott are the largest signature bonus in the history of the NFL.
The same could be done in parsons since Jones established this previous one. The $ 50 million in Bosa are the current reference for non-quaks. Cowboys could gain $ 12.3 million in the 2025 ceiling space with an extension of four -year parsons where he receives a signing bonus of $ 52.5 million which is made to $ 10.5 million per year, from 2025 to 2029 and his salary from the database of 24.007 million dollars is reduced to a salary of $ 1.207 million $.
Parsons should not accept less than $ 90 million fully guaranteed at the signature and $ 125 million in global guarantees. Another important element is the time for acquiring guarantees. Third -year salary guarantees in 2027 and any guarantee during the fourth contractual year (2028) should operate as lamb.

The year of the parson contract in 2027 should go from the injury guaranteed to fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the year of the 2026 League (mid-March 2026). The part guaranteed for injury in 2028 should be fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the year of the 2027 League (mid-March 2027).
Final reflections
Parsons should fully adopt the attitude “more Jones leaves must fall” with his contract, even if it means holding the training camp or reports and standing in the place where he does not practice or has limited participation until the signing. The Parsons lesson should have learned from the lamb and delayed Prescott extensions is to stick to his arms, he will get more money. Edge Rushers Aidan Hutchinson and / or TJ Watt, also in a year of contract, could push the market without a quarter to new peaks with respective extensions of the Lions of Detroit and Pittsburgh Steelers at some point before the start of the regular season of 2025.
