After months and months at the negotiating table, the Dallas Cowboys are still locked in a back-and-forth with star linebacker Micah Parsons, who is currently looking to reap the rewards of his four years of service with a fat payday. The front office could just pay him and get the deal done, but as is now often the case with team president and CEO Jerry Jones, the group has elected to drag things out long enough that the issue has now infiltrated the training camp conversation.
Parsons is handling the slight quite well; he is at least showing up to camp anyway, when many in his position would not (take the Bengals' Trey Hendrickson, for example), and he's being respectful enough in his comments about the situation, even when Jones says something the rest of the NFL world can't believe.
