It is nearly August which means the Dallas Cowboys are back in sports fans' lives and making headlines yet again. This year the big story is Micah Parsons and his search for a contract extension as he enters the final season of his rookie deal. Parsons is attending training camp but is still openly communicating his desire for a contract that recognizes his All-Pro talents. As expected, Jerry Jones has made a few notable comments on the situation as well.
Over the weekend, Jones's son and Cowboys VP Stephen Jones joined the chorus by telling reporters on Sunday that Dallas wants to pay Parsons, but Parsons "has gotta want to be paid" as well. This commentary created a stir within the NFL community and led to a furious Stephen A. Smith rant on ESPN.
