Really wish Beane had been the one to do this deal.

I would've given Oliver and two 1sts all day long.

Provided he could've made the cap situation work -- and I have no reason to think that he couldn't -- then I wish he'd have pulled the trigger.

Ah well. At least Parsons stays in the NFC.

 

I agree. If we could have afforded it, Parsons gets you over the hump in the playoffs if the team stays relatively healthy. We are trying to make it to the Super Bowl one time. Isn't that all that matters? Don't know about the rest of you, but I would trade a SB for a few years of cap hell any day.

At $47M a year, it's really hard to justify that kind of money for a non-QB. Getting to $40M was already a big leap, but now pushing toward $50M — especially when you're already paying top-tier contracts to CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott — it's just not sustainable. And let’s be honest, the current formula wasn’t working anyway.

I’ve felt for over a year now that this team needs to rebuild. They should seriously consider trading Dak after this season and start fresh. Micah is an elite pass rusher and letting go of playmakers is never easy, but there’s a point where the price is just too high. When you’ve got $155M+ AAV tied up in just three players, it’s nearly impossible to build a complete roster.

 

As a Dallas fan, yeah, it sucks to see a guy like Micah walk. But sometimes you have to do what’s best for the organization long-term. Jerry’s handling of this was clumsy and it’s going to spark a lot of backlash — especially with Micah gone — but I honestly think it was the right move.

Maybe Jerry isn't tripping - 8 tackles , 1 sack in 4 playoff games 🤔

My brother is a Cowboys fan , you bring up good points,  I'm just curious what you're doing on a Bills message board

Egos clearly got in the way ..

Thank God we have a Brandon Beane

 

Draft Develop and Re sign 

How many WRs does this man need? Sheesh

Yeah, compare Parsons sleeping on a table during a game to Beane sitting down with Cook and asking him to play, but since he said he wouldn't, Beane asked him to at least dress and do warm ups, etc., and Cook agreed.  Had a discussion like men and eventually worked things out.

Yeah, that read that way didn't it?  I should have said from a Dallas fans perspective.  

[BeastMaster]

For as great as he is as a pass rusher, he has a glaring weakness that completely eliminates his biggest strength

 

Any team that plays against him will and should run the ball to take him out of the game

 

Flashy player, but not worth the contract when he can be neutralized easily

If they don't win a Superbowl within 4 years, I'll wholeheartedly agree.

 

Personally, I don't think any of these pass rushers are worth their contracts.

It’s a gamble you take to overcome that thin margin that exists between teams in the NFL.  If it gives me that advantage and a chance to win a superbowl then I take it every time.

And Cook trusting Beane enough to go along, instead of Beane doing super shady stuff like trying to deal with only the player and not the agent.

We would’ve been over the hump (imo) if we had been relatively healthy the last 2 years.  An injury negated Beanes mini all-in Von Miller for 3 seasons.  Missing our best defensive player in Benford both games vs KC.  Our CB2 our had a sprained ankle and We were missing BOTH of our starting LBs.  Rapp missed last year with Benford.  Both of their replacements were taken advantage of just like Milano and Bernard’s replacements the previous season.  
 

If we are relatively healthy, we don’t need Micah Parsons.  I would’ve been in on him for 2 firsts and 40M aav.  Not 2 firsts, Ed or Rousseau and 47M.  
 

while we are definitely in win now mode, we don’t have to ruin our roster management over a pass rusher that can’t stop the run

He doesn't play against the run

Why bring in Micah Parsons when you can extend Rousseau?

Lotta cope there. My guess is if Beane and McDermott are still around, they'll pursue Parsons when he's washed 

[billsfan89]

Jerry Jones made a good deal here. Gets a Pro Bowl DT and a pair of first round picks and gets off a big cap number. I think Parsons can be very dynamic and one of the better pass rushers in the league.
 

But the Cowboys with Dak on a big number as well as Lamb making top dollar couldn’t build a good roster with Parsons making big money.

I would trade the rest of time in cap hell for just one. Just ONE. 
 

Also, does Jerry call him Michael on purpose as some sort of dig? As a way of saying “I’m so important I don’t need to even learn his name?” Or is he just old and all the marbles are gone?

How does this help Dallas win games the next two years?  

That’s what so weird about this. If you weren’t gonna get a deal done, make the trade in March, so you can have the draft picks this year 

[BarleyNY]

Jerry got hosed on this one. You can’t wait until the week before the season starts to do a trade like this. He’d have gotten way more in March or April. 

[QCity]

You have to love this deal if you're a Packers fan. They're in the perfect position to make this move - a) they're already a playoff team and b) they believe they have their QB. This is a completely different scenario than the Mack trade which was to a 4-12 team with Trubisky under center. Completely different.

 

It's a gutsy move, they are pushing their whole stack to the center of the table - this is as "all-in" as it gets. It could push them over the top to a championship or it could blow up in their faces. Either way it's going to be fascinating to watch.

[RoscoeParrish]

Folks used to say there’s no downside to locking up your own talent early. 
 

I think we just saw the downside.
