The situation between the Dallas Cowboys and Micah Parsons just continues to get worse.
The relationship between Parsons and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones took a turn for the worse Thursday evening.
As a guest on Michael Irvin’s podcast, Jones revealed he had made a very lucrative offer to Parsons, but said the linebacker’s agent, David Mulugheta, wasn’t having it.
“When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our a**,” Jones said.
According to Jones, he and Parsons had already agreed on the framework of the deal, but Mulugheta shut it down.
“We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees and everything. We were gonna send it over to the agent,” Jones said. “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. The issue, very frankly, is we’ve had the negotiation in my mind. The agent is trying to get his nose in it and trying to come in there and improve off what we’ve already said.”
After Jones’ comments went public, ESPN’s Ryan Clark reached out to Mulugheta to ask if he actually told Jones to “stick it up our a**.”
“He laughed, he said, ‘I’ve never used that phrase in my life,’” Clark said Mulugheta told him. “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 bullcrap, it’s all lies.”

Where this goes next is anyone’s guess. But once again, it seems Jerry Jones is doing his best to stir things up, keeping the Cowboys in the spotlight — just as he has admitted in the past he wants, likening them to a soap opera.
With the preseason winding down and the regular season around the corner, Parsons’ future in Dallas looks more uncertain than ever.
