In this conversation with Mike Florio, the topic of Jerry Jones' handling of contract negotiations with Micah Parsons is discussed, specifically focusing on his disrespect towards David Mulugheta, Parsons' agent. Florio explains that Jerry Jones’ behavior might reflect the power plays made by ultra-wealthy individuals, attempting to cut agents out of the process to secure better deals. Florio also shared his frustration with the Cowboys’ tendency to delay contracts and the impact this has on the team’s competitiveness. Additionally, he touched on other NFL topics like the controversial “tush push” play and the draft buzz surrounding Shedeur Sanders.

00:00Why, why wait? What are they seeing that we're not seeing in terms of not getting burned
00:23by the delays?
00:25I just feel like the Cowboys and this is where there isn't a completely seamless connection
00:32between the way Jerry made his money in oil and gas and how you successfully negotiate
00:40contracts in the NFL. He has built his empire on doing deals that are very good for him
00:48and maybe not as good for the other side. And it's about one deal after another and
00:53you do a good deal and it keeps and it's win lose or at least I win and whatever happens
00:58to you doesn't matter. You keep doing these good deals and you think that that's the same
01:02way it works in the NFL. And so they feel like if they wait one of these days the player
01:09is going to wake up and take the office on the table. It really is nonsensical and it
01:14has impacted the ability of the Cowboys to be as competitive as they need to be. They
01:19have put themselves in horrible positions. They'll never admit it. They'll never admit
01:23it. They put themselves in an awful position with Dak Prescott by waiting too long to sign
01:28him and then they waited too long to restructure his contract and it put him in a horrible
01:32position again. They put themselves in a horrible position with C.D. Lamb. It ended up costing
01:37more than it would have cost and they didn't have him ready to go when the season started.
01:42So and they've also made mistakes on the other side too. Like when you pay Michael Gallup
01:47maybe you shouldn't have when you use the franchise tag on Tony Pollard and maybe you
01:51shouldn't have and paid over 10 million dollars. Although that's a different vibe now than
01:55it was a couple of years ago. It's just it's a weird way of doing business and there's
02:00a stubbornness and there's an arrogance and there's an emperor's new clothes reality where
02:05who in the building is going to risk their own job by standing up and saying to Jerry
02:10or Steven you guys are messing this up. Mike Florio here. I'm going to do it. I mean he's
02:16already threatened to fire you once.
02:21It depends on how the recent contract negotiations go for us. Mike Florio here on 1 0 5 3 the
02:26fan.
