Shots are being fired from both sides in the Dallas Cowboys defensive star Micah Parsons’ contract standoff. Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie contract, and he wants a new deal now and doesn’t want to wait until the offseason. Meanwhile, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is playing hardball with the situation and seems to be unbothered regarding the situation even after Parsons officially requested a trade.
The latest update to the ongoing stalemate has come from Jones, who blatantly put it on Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, for the stalemate. During an appearance on Michael Irvin’s podcast, Jones revealed that while he has tried to negotiate a contract Parsons’ agent seems to be uninterested.
“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our a**. Mike and I talked, and then we were going to send it over to the agent,” Jones said (41:45). “We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, and everything. We were going to send it over to the agent, and the agent said, ‘Don’t bother, because we’ve got all that to negotiate.’
“Well, I’d already negotiated. I’d already moved off my mark in several areas. So, the issue, very frankly, is that we’ve had the negotiation in my mind, and now the agent is trying to get his nose in it and improve on the mark that we’d already set,” he added.

Micah Parsons’ Agent Denies Jerry Jones’ Claim
After Jerry Jones’ statements from Michael Irvin’s show went viral, Micah Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, has issued a rebuttal, denying the Cowboys general manager’s claim straight up.
ESPN’s Ryan Clark reached out to the agent to know if he really said what Jones claimed. Clark shared his response:
“He laughed ‘I’ve never used that phrase in my life.’ So, for anyone who is reporting that, for Jerry Jones saying that, this is false. This never happened. This is just another public way to make this situation, which is already ugly, even uglier. David Mulugheta in no way has ever told Jerry Jones or any other general manager or owner that. It’s all bull****, it’s all lies.”
This makes the situation even uglier between the agent and the general manager. In the meantime, both Parsons and the Cowboys are suffering as the Week 1 opener against the Philadelphia Eagles is not far away.
