Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is pointing the finger at Micah Parsons’ agent over the stalled negotiations.
Jones revealed in an appearance on Cowboys legend Michael Irvin’s show Thursday that he felt the organization had reached an agreement with the two-time All-Pro defensive end before Parson’s agent put a stop to it.

“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our a–,” Jones claimed.

“Micah and I talked and then we were going to send it over to the agent. We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees – everything. We were gonna 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 that. I’d already moved off my mark on several areas.”
Jones added that “we’ve had the negotiation in my mind.”
“The agent is trying to get his nose in it right now and try to come in there and improve off the mark that we’d already said.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, for comment.

COWBOYS’ JERRY JONES EMPHASIZES ‘ART OF THE DEAL’ MESSAGE IN MICAH PARSONS NEGOTIATIONS
Parsons has been a presence on the sidelines, but stalled negotiations on his rookie deal have resulted in a hold-in. Parsons made a trade request earlier this month in a post on social media where he expressed that he “no longer want(s) to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present.”
Parsons is entering the final season of his five-year rookie contract, where he is due to earn $24 million. According to reports, he is seeking a new deal with an average salary of $40 million. But Jones said the deal they seemingly agreed on would have accomplished a serious payday for Parsons.
“It would have made him the highest-paid guaranteed player, other than a quarterback, in the NFL,” he told Irvin Thursday.

“The world would know that I want Micah if they knew what I had offered him – and he knows what I offered him. So, the world would know that I want Micah to play on the team and that I respect him for what he can bring to the team.”
Despite the public fallout, first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer seemed optimistic that Parsons would be on the field for Dallas in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4.
“I feel good that Micah’s going to be out there against the Philadelphia Eagles,” he said Wednesday.

Former England cricketer Moeen Ali has announced his return to the Pakistan Super League (PSL), saying he was excited to be part of the league’s “new era”.
After the 10th edition of the PSL earlier this year, the league is set for an expansion to eight teams, with the addition of two new franchises.
Meanwhile, Moeen, who has previously featured in the marquee league when he represented former champions Multan Sultans in the 2020 and 2021 editions, expressed his eagerness to rejoin the league.
Moeen stated that the PSL, since its advent in 2016, has “earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket”, featuring close competition and talented players.
“I’m really excited to be joining HBL PSL in its New Era. The league has earned a reputation for top-level T20 cricket, with high-quality competition and world-class talent across every team,” Moeen wrote on Instagram.
The 38-year-old, who represented England in 68 Tests, 138 ODIs and 92 T20Is during his illustrious career, was also a part of the Three Lions squad that made its historic tour of Pakistan in 2022 to play a three-match Test series. Besides that, Moeen has made several visits to the country.
Reflecting on his previous experiences in Pakistan, Moeen said that he enjoyed playing in the country and specifically praised the enthusiastic crowd, which he said pushes players to give their best on the field.
“Playing in Pakistan is always incredible; quality of cricket is outstanding and the passion and intensity from the crowd push you to bring your best,” he continued.
“I’m looking forward to being part of it all and creating some great memories along the way. Ready for another special experience Insha’Allah!”
His announcement comes just days after former South African captain Faf du Plessis pulled out of the Indian Premier League (IPL) to play in the upcoming PSL season.
In a post on Instagram on November 29, the renowned cricketer said that he would not put his name in the IPL auction this year.
“It’s a big decision, and one that comes with a lot of gratitude when I look back,” he wrote in his post.
