Colin Cowherd REACTS to Micah Parsons “WANTING OUT” from Dallas Cowboys | THE HERD NFL

So, not all contract hold outs are the same. And the media tends to always take the player side in this. I get that with Terry Mcccluren of Washington. I’m on his side. I’m not on Micah Parsons. First of all, I was on team trade Michael Parsons a year ago. The Cowboys are a mile from the Philadelphia Eagles roster composition. They need four good players. I would have gotten a couple of second round picks, maybe a a first and a fourth, whatever. I like Micah. He’s a good player, but I’m not making him the highest paid defensive end. He’s not Miles Garrett. He’s not Aiden Hutcherson. He’s not Max Crosby. He’s not TJ Watt. He’s not Nick Bosa. I like him a lot, but I’m not making him that highly coveted. CD Lamb is closer to the top of the receiving rankings in my opinion than Micah Parson is on the pass rush. And by the way, I’m not even mentioning Jared Verse yet. this year. I think he’ll become number two in the league, maybe number three behind like a Bosa, a Watt, and an Aiden Hudson or a Miles Garrett. So, and they could also franchise tag Michael Parsons for a couple years. So, I’ll give you an example of the difference between the two hold outs. So, Michael Parsons was a first round pick and a number 12 pick and he’s been a Pro Bowler. He has played up to his draft position. The player picked after him, Rashawn Slater. a firstround pick has been a Pro Bowler. He has played up to his position and Micah does deserve a big contract. Slater got one. I’m not denying that. And but I think left tackle is harder to find and much more valuable than edge rusher. There’s a I mean I left tackle after quarterback to me is the number two position by a long shot in the league. Go look at the Niners and Kyle Shanahan when Trent Williams doesn’t play. Go look at the Chargers when Rashawn Slater doesn’t play. There are no great backup left tackles. There’s all sorts of guys that can rush the passer in the NFL. The the the college gives you six a year guys that can play and you’ll get them in mid rounds. There are no great left tackles in the fifth round. Historically, the top 30 left tackles of all time, 28, I think, are first round picks. And so Micah has, and by the way, right now, Micah’s contract going into this year without a new without a new contract would make him the fifth highest edge rusher cap hit. That’s a total approp totally appropriate contract. Totally appropriate. That’s not Terry Mcccluren. Terry McLuren has been a dog in the playoffs. He’s been unbelievable in the regular season. He was the only bright spot before Jaden uh Daniels got to town for about three years. He’s unbelievably productive and he is a third round pick. So, he has wildly outperformed his contract. He is the most underrated and underpaid player in the league. Micah is paid appropriately to this point in his career. And then Washington goes out and signs Debo Samuel, who I like, but you can’t have Debo making significantly more than Terry McLaren. Debo is older. Debo’s been injured more. Debo’s just not as good as Terry McLaren. And you go look at Terry McLaren’s stats. This kid’s great. I mean, Ohio State is not only the wide receiver factory of college football, even their third round guys. in 82 regular season. He’s got in in his regular season career just last year, 82 catches, 14 in the postseason. He had three postseason touchdowns, which was tied for the league lead. The kid is great everywhere. In fact, the last five seasons, there’s only four receivers who have had a thousand plus receiving yards each of those years. Justin Jefferson, ever hear of him? Mike Evans, Devonte Adams, Terry McLaren, and he hadn’t been paid yet. So, he has wildly wildly outperformed his contract. Like, Omaron St. Brown did this to a degree. You got to pay guys like that. You got to pay guys like that. That that’s that’s uh I believe that with every position except quarterback. Quarterback, just pay them if they’re great. But guys like that that you get in the third round, they’re productive. Their team dies, they don’t they’re a shining star on a bad organization for most of his career. Pay him. Mike is a firstrounder. Micah has made a lot of money in advertisements because he’s a Dallas Cowboy. You put him on the Jacksonville Jaguars or the Titans, he’s not making that money in endorsements. Nobody’s listening to his podcast. And I like Micah. He deserves to be paid, but his feels a little egocentric. He has lived up to a first round pick like Slater, and he should be paid. But I I’ve said this, not all hold outs are the same. Not all contract negotiations are the same. Mcccluren has completely outplayed and outperformed his contract. Not even close. Micah’s been excellent. Well, you don’t pick guys 12th. We say this every year in my years of doing this, talking to executives, the first 16 to 17 players picked are true first round talents, players that should be excellent first day in camp. That the Aiden Hutcherson, Paneet Su, uh Brock Bowers, Micah Parsons. Now, not all of them hit. Chase Young was never as good as a rush end as I thought he would be. But they’d established themselves physically very quickly and he has, but he’s been compensated for it. You know, he got his slot, he got paid, and he and he deserves to get paid by somebody. He’s got a year left on the deal. They can still, you know, they can still two times franchise tag him if they wanted to. And the other thing is, and I always said this about D. Wayade. I love D. Wayade. one of my favorite players ever. But he did get no state tax, Aqua Water on the East Coast in a winter league, the best GM in Riley, a top three coach in Eric Spolstra, a top five owner in Mickey Harrison in a great franchise. He went and played for Chicago for like an hour. He’s like, “Get me out of here. I’m going back to Miami.” You do have to consider if you get drafted by the Dallas Cowboys, Dak has made probably a hundred million endorsements, not making four if he’s a member of the Bengals, right? Like Joe Burrow was the best quarterback arguably in the league last year. Cincinnati so poorly run, he was the only great quarterback that couldn’t make the playoffs, which is impossible in the NFL. If you rank as the most efficient quarterback in the NFL, 14 of the 32 teams make the playoffs. So yeah, Joe Burrow gets pissed off. Yes, he’s perpetually perpetually got a a chip on his shoulder. He should. It’d be like Momes not making the playoffs or Lamar not making the playoffs. I I side with guys who I feel like Joe Burrow does not have the support he deserves. Terry Mcccluren deserves money. Micah, he’s done well for himself. He made a lot of money in Dallas. He’s been treated like a rock star. There are times he is a rock star, but in the postseason, look at McLaren’s numbers. Look at Micah’s. Four playoff games, no sacks, maybe one sack. And hit the quarterback four times. One sack. Okay, that that ain’t Miles Garrett. Okay, so let’s slow down. McClord is a third rounder. And it’s also, by the way, it’s an offensive league. I’m going to pay my quarterback. I’m going to pay my left tackle. I’m going to pay my star weapon, Jamar Chase. It is an offensive league. You got to consider that everything counts. Jerry Jones on the Micah situation. I think uh the world of Micah uh and u that’s just a part of negotiation. I don’t uh really place that uh with any uh real seriousness. I wouldn’t be standing here with you if I didn’t think we had a potentially had a great future with Mike. Be a waste of all of our time. So uh we’re good shape. This is uh uh this is negotiation. Uh and uh uh uh but make no mistake about it, life has to go on. One thing I would say to our fans, don’t lose any sleep over it. All right, so that Jerry’s probably going to pay him and the roster will continue to get really topheavy. And again, it goes public and shouldn’t have to, but I’m just saying I’m team Terry like like that kid. You you got to pull up the Brinks truck, especially now you added Debo, older, banged up, hasn’t been through the lean years in

Colin Cowherd reacts to the latest in the NFL preseason and contract negotiations. He discusses whether Micah Parsons making statements about how he wants out of the Dallas Cowboys is really “part of negotiations.” Will Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys, and Micah Parsons repair relationships or will Parsons leave to get paid?

  10. Finally, a true statement on Micah. He's a really good player, but in no way is he close to L.T. like the dudes on ESPN shows keep saying. He disappears against great teams, late in the year and playoffs (which are solid teams). Jerry needs to trade Micah and get players and picks to improve his team; but he will overpay Micah the same way he did Dak. So much money wasted on Dak and Micah. Jerry is ridiculous.

  12. I am an Eagles fan but Colin you got this one wrong, Micah was willing to sign an extension last year for 30M a year and that would be a steal right now for him. Cowboys fumbled this bad, along with there other big contracts, they could have saved 20M if they had signed Dak, CD and Micah if they had done it earlier.

  13. You’re looking at this with personal prejudice and that isn’t how it works in this league. It’s next man up in the NFL, where contracts are concerned, Colin. Based on the way NFL contracts work, Micah deserves top dollar. Whether it’s with the Cowboys (who are my team) or with another team, Micah deserves whatever he’s asking for.

  14. The only two NFL players who have recorded at least 12 sacks in each of their first four NFL seasons:

    Reggie White
    Micah Parsons

    And if we don’t wanna talk about sacks, just take a wild guess on who was 2nd in the league last year in terms of pressure rate…

    Lmao they better pay that man

  15. I think he could go to they Rams, the have draft capital, salary cap. If this happens with Verse, Fiske, Parsons and Sean Mcvay's staff, that would be the best D-line in the NFL.

  16. Ohio state the wide receiver factory of college football… meanwhile Jefferson and chase made first team all pro in the same season and malik nabers and Bryan thomas were the top two rookie receivers in the league last year and all 4 players had more yards than Mclaurin…

  19. Obviously Colin hasn't been paying attention. I'm shocked! (said no one) Last December Micah said he wanted to get a deal done. The interviewer mentioned $40M/yr. as a figure. Micah said, $30M, $40M… in the end there's no difference. You're set for the rest of your life. He also said at one point that he'd take less to get Myles Garrett on the team. And Micah isn't just a pro bowler. He's been 1st team all pro 2 times and 2nd team all pro once. He was DRoY, 2nd in DPoY twice, and 3rd DPoY his 1st 3 years. Last year he was injured and didn't play 4 games so he missed out on these awards. He's not simply "good" and a pro bowler. Colin needs to buy a vowel or something, because he doesn't know what he's talking about.

    And bottom line is if you are going to re sign him, then re sign him. If you aren't, then trade him. Don't run him down in the media by saying you aren't sure he's worth it.

  24. I don't like JJ, but in this situation he needs to trade MP. MP is highly overrated. He doesn't show up in the big games. Most of Cowboys players are overrated because of all the media attention they get. The Cowboys are not a good team. Just been good enough to make the post season due to the Giants and Washington being sorry teams for the past ten years.

  25. Colin Cowherd should be drug tested for saying a LT is more valuable than a pass rusher. Colin talks like a guy that never played football. Which he hasn't. Stop giving false narratives to the american public Cowherd!

  29. Colin if parsons is not all of that and he needs to shut up and play , he asked for a trade …. So just trade the guy if he is not all day … you can’t have the cake and eat it too

  37. Micah hasn't gotten paid yet. Terry McLaurin has had a second contract. Also, McLaurin turns 30 next month and Colin himself says pass rusher is more valuable than receiver and that when you draft someone and they perform you pay them so I don't really get it

  38. Micah is the best player on the Cowboys—period. Wtf are we talking about lmao. He’s the most valuable player on the team aside from Dak, and is one of the most valuable players in the NFL.

  43. Micah Parsons is a once in a generation talent, and jerry jones absolutely knows that. What's painfully obvious to me is the culture of an old southerner like jerry jones. Although jones knows he cannot win football games without dominant Black players, thus he makes a lot of money, I believe that his personal culture insists that he is still the master of his 'plantation'😈

  44. I GOT A IDEA MICAH

    I A WHITE MASK PUT THIS MASK ON PAINT YO BODY MICHEAL JACKSON

    GO IN JERRY PUT SOME GLASSES AND SAY UR WHITE PARSON LIKE CHANDLER

    HE A GIVE U TOO MUCH

    JUST SAY UR CHANDLER PARSON MICAH PARSONS

  45. That franchise tag is the reason I won’t let my sons play football. That’s bs. If any other sports leagues do that America in trouble

  47. Terry McLaurin is about to be 30 and he wants to be the 4th highest paid receiver in the NFL. He had a very nice season last year and in 17 games he put up just a little bit better numbers than Mike Evans and Davante Adams did in 14 games. Those 2 are 3 years older and significantly better than Terry McLaurin yet he wants to be paid $12 million more than those 2.
