You know this sir. No balls for these joke you don't super bowl championship. That should always be the expectation. I ain't mad at you. Go ahead. Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. And I know I talk about Seahawks and Niners and the teams that I played for, but man this Cowboys drama has got me thinking. What is Jerry doing now Michael Parsons comes out and tells the truth. Michael Parsons, his day was transparent in those statements that he released. Hey didn't Want to do this. I wanted to play for the Dallas Cowboys my whole career. It's my dad's team. I wanted to play for these great fans. I tried my best to get it done. I didn't want to have these closed doors, negotiations with the staff. I didn't feel like that was right. And he's right. Unless you're representing yourself, which I've done, then don't talk to a player by himself without his agent present that he's not repping himself. And even if you do, fine, cool. If that's what you did with CD And Dak, cool. But eventually you got to their agents, you got to Todd France, you got to to. You got to Tori Dandy, you got to their agents at athletes first. And Todd France, I think is he's athletes first and. And. And to. And Toy Dandy is in CIA. So what's crazy about this whole thing is the quote that Jerry said. And I. I want to say it was April, and I. I want to quote it because I don't want to. I don't want to get this wrong. I don't. I do not want to get this wrong because it was so ridiculous then. And it just seems like insanity right now after. After everything that Micah says. Jerry Jones says the agent is not a factor here. It's not something to worry about. And I don't know his name now, mind you. Micah Parsons agent was just named the most powerful agent in the NFL. Best agent, whatever you want to say, but he just got an award for being the best to say you don't know the name of the most powerful or best quote, unquote. You know, everybody has their opinion, but this is what. What he's award he's been given, but you don't know his name. Jerry. Seems. Seems odd to me. That seems odd. That seems like you're. You're insinuating something. You're insinuating you can do this without him. But you didn't do that for Dak. You didn't do that for CD you didn't do that with Trey Diggs. You didn't do it without their agents in the room. And even Tory Dandy was praising Jerry for how much he cares about his players, giving CD Lamb financial advice about his future and planning for the future. But Micah Parsons, you. You. Do we not see the same way, Jerry? Because I haven't heard you before CD Lamb got his contract saying, hey, CD did this, or CD Is this. Or cd. I don't know if we're going to pay him because of A B&CD did a great job. Played to an all pro level, got paid. Dak Prescott did a good job, played to an all pro level, got paid Micah Parsons, three Trey Diggs. Played to an all pro level, got paid Micah Parsons three time, first team. All probably still unpaid. Unpaid. And his teammates are saying pay him. Other execs around the league thought it was, I mean, beyond a given to pay Micah Parsons. What does Jerry know that we don't know? He's not a bad kid. It doesn't seem on the outside looking in. I haven't heard his teammates say anything about him. You haven't heard any scandals come out about Michael Parsons? You're not hearing, oh, man, he's a cancer in the locker room, all you've heard is he's grown as a leader. He's a true competitor. He goes out there and puts it all on the line. Every single Sunday, Monday, Thursday, whatever day they play, he puts it all on the line. Is he a perfect player? No. But he wrecks every game that he's in. He jumps off the tape every single time that he's in. He's one of the top 10, top 15 players in the National Football League. There's no question about that, is beyond contestation. So what does Jerry Jones know that we don't know? Because I don't get this. You made Dak the highest paid. You made CD Lamb the highest paid. You made Trey Diggs, if I'm not mistaken, the highest pay are right up there with them. So why not Micah? His accolades stack up with everybody else's. He's not injured. He's. He's healthy right now, from what I can understand, but he just doesn't want to practice because obviously there's a contract dispute, and it makes no sense. There are probably 31 other teams that would take him now. Not every team can take him for 41 million, which. Which is what he will demand and what he will deserve. Because you waited this long, you could have got him with Nicholas John Bolson's deal, which was, I think, 34 million a year. That sounds like a bargain now compared to what people are getting now. You gotta go above TJ Watts 41 and some change. Like why. Why wait this long? Why. Why keep making improve it? Why keep making improve it? And then you. Now, you're making it an issue between fans and players. Now, fans will sit there and look at it, but player and be like, man, what is he talking. He's. He's. He's not doing everything he can for the team. Yes, he is. He's done everything he could for the Dallas Cowboys fans. Like, I know you guys probably don't feel great about me, and I, you know, it is what it is. But Michael Parsons is a great player who's done a great job for your team and deserves the money that he's asking for. He deserves it. He deserved it years ago. He probably would be looking for an extension at this point if you would have just signed him when you were supposed to sign him or an extension next year. But if you're going to keep holding him hostage, I just don't know. It just. It's a bad look. It's a bad look on. And everybody's talking about, man, our team needs to not. Not many teams have 41 million in open space or the ability to create enough money to be able to sign Michael Parsons to an extension. Bring him in immediately now. And especially the contenders, especially the contenders. Everybody's talking about, man, the Philadelphia Eagles going to. They're going to pull a fast one again. I don't think so. I mean, how. He is a magician. He does a phenomenal job. One of the best in the history of the game, has put together incredible teams. But if you tell me Howie Roseman can get Jerry Jones to trade at Micah Parsons within a division, coming fresh off a Super bowl win, like, oh, my God, wait till you hear what I got to say after that day. That would be insanity. So you would assume he has to get at least out of the East. So then it leaves you a lot of NFC teams, a lot of AFC teams. But where does Michael want to go and what can he get done? Who has the space? All that matters. And I'm not going to speculate and get into all those details. But why are we here? Why are we even talking about this? Because only Jerry can put us in a position where one of his best players, and it's not even debatable, is sitting here saying, wow, you guys don't want me. And I've been saying it for years that I don't understand why they aren't paying him. What did he do to Jerry Jones? What has he done? What is Michael Parsons done to Jerry Jones for him not to want to pay him major money going forward? Because I don't see it. I don't see the problem. I don't see the issue. I don't see the hesitation because he hasn't done anything to. To make you want to hesitate. He's a great player. He's leader. He's done everything he's supposed to do, but having the conversations without his agent there, and then thinking that, hey, we agreed to something and we're not even going to involve the agent. And whatever the agent said, we're not even going to answer his calls because we agreed to something without you. That sounds beyond ridiculous. And, Jerry, you wouldn't advise your own son to do that without his lawyers and his representation present. Cool. You can talk about some subtle details. You can maybe talk about an outline. Hey, we're trying to get you 200 million. Yep. Four years, 200 million. Cool. I hear you, Jerry. That sounds great, man. Highest paid defense, non quarterback in the league. Cool, Jerry, that sounds great. Just talk to my agent, iron out the details, and we can go ahead with it. But you don't want to do that for some reason. And that's where the rub is. That's the details we need. Like, why don't you want his agent to be there? What details were in there that you knew that David Mulaghetto was. Would see and say, hold up, this ain't happening. It's definitely not happening like that. Because that's how shady it sounds when you said, hey, we had an agreement in place, but when the agent calls, I don't answer the phone. It sounds like you got something up your sleeve, Jerry, and I want to know what's up your sleeve because it doesn't make sense to anyone else. And it's now playing out in the public right before another season. Promising season. You guys, your best players are healthy, you're good. I think the left tackle might have got a little banged up, but knock on wood, he's going to be okay. But you're healthy. Going in season, there's hope in the fan base. There's excitement, as it should be going into the football year, for every team. You should feel good. We're a chance at a Super Bowl. Cool. Let the season kind of put your fire out, but cool. You can have those expectations. But the amount of vitro and drama that Jerry Jones and Steven Jones are injecting into this franchise before it even starts, just. Just crazy. Why? How does this. I see. In no world that this benefits your football team, in no world that this makes you a better football team, an easier football team to root for, it makes your best players happier and want to play for you. It does the exact opposite. You have CD Lamb sitting there like, come on, man. Pam, what are y'? All. Y' all owing like, you are creating division within a team, not against other teams, but against you because how you're, because of how you're speaking about your players, because of how you're treating your players. And it's bad business, man. It's bad business. And I, I, you know, you would think wisdom comes with age, but it's clearly get going the other way for Jerry, and I don't get it. I really don't.

And another trade situation. Terry McLaurin in NFC east has requested a trade from the Washington Commanders. He wants to be paid like the top receiver in the National Football League, which would put him over 40 million. And it's something that I think the Washington Commanders are unwilling to do. And, and you understand both sides of it. You understand from Terry McClaurin side, hey, you brought another guy in. And I knew that once they brought Debo in and the amount of money he was making, it would, it would cause an issue with Terry McLaurin. I said that when it happened, I said, I just don't know how Terry will respond to this. And everybody told me I was crazy. I said, I don't know because receivers are that way, like you bring in somebody else here. You don't think I'm that great? Then show me how much you value me by paying me the amount of money so then I'll slee calm at night. I sleep good at night. Hey, that's not. It's not my world. I didn't create it. That's just how it is, and that's how it's playing out. Terry McLaurin wants security. He wants respect from the Washington commanders. They are saying they're unwilling to trade him and they're unwilling to meet his demands. They're willing to put him in the 33, $34 million range that DK Metcalf just signed for. He's unwilling to accept those kind of numbers. Is there another team that is willing to also to not only trade potentially a first, while the receiver market has been different? I mean, maybe at third and a fifth, you're going to have to. Because you're going to have to pay him so much, the. The draft value will likely go down. But on top of that, you're going to have to pay him what he wants. So you're going to have to agree to an extension before the trade ever comes through, along with the draft compensation. And maybe the commanders are going to ask for something crazy because you're doing it at a point in the season that you can't necessarily, like, find his replacement. You're not going to be able to replace his production, his. His veteran presence. You know who he's been to, the Washington commanders over these years instantly, unless you get a player of equal value. But even then, you're talking about getting him up to speed with the playbook, the culture of the team. Terry McLaurin has been a consummate professional for the Washington commander. So there's just so many moving parts that I just don't see a deal happening quickly here. Unless a team is desperate and really is in love with Terry McLaurin, and they're really willing to give a boatload of draft picks and make Washington a deal that they can't refuse. I just don't see it happening. I see Terry McLaurin likely settling for a contract he doesn't necessarily agree with in both sides. You know, that's. That's what it'll end up being. It'll be a compromise. Terry McLaren will get some concessions. The Washington commanders will get some concessions. Hopefully they shake hands and Terry McLaren is a Washington commander for years to come. But it's going to be a situation that we need to watch Trey Hendrickson, he's watching practice, he's showing up. And that's a new thing that's happening these days. Players are getting smart because they made it such a so financially discouraging to sit out and miss games when you're holding out. They put all the control in the team's hands. And so players have taken the control back by saying, I'm going to hold in. And I'm not even necessarily going to say it's a hold in. I'm just going to show up, am going to have some undisclosed injury that you can't prove I don't have, and I'm going to get treated for it every day. What are you going to do? You're going to tell me I'm not hurt? You can't do that, not in this day and age, not with social media and everything. But you can kind of speculate it. And until you pay Trey Hendrickson, it doesn't look like he's going to be on the field. And if he misses a game and you lose that, that AFC north isn't a, isn't a division you can play with. The Baltimore Ravens aren't going to be playing any games. And you got a quarterback in these receivers that are highly, highly paid, going to put up a lot of points. And the one guy you had on defense, they. That's been consistent year after year. You're not giving that respect. Even Joe Burrow thought you would pay him. They. You paid T. Higgins, Cool. Pajamar Chase, top money, top dollar. Got it. Joe Burrow has his money. Cool. Got it. Now you don't want to pay the defense. And Mike Brown has been one of those owners who said, I don't, you know, they had to sell the naming rights, naming rights to the stadium for Joe Burrow's deal like they are. They do not like to spend money. And I, I'm not going to, you know, spill the beans about how some of the conversations went when we were negotiating with owners. But Mike Brown, you know, the way he spends money isn't necessarily seen in a good light by the other owners of the league. You know, I think they would like him to have to spend money, more money, and like it to be in line with everybody else who, who's trying to grow the game and make this a better product. And they don't think he's investing enough into his team to grow the game, but he's benefiting as much as the rest of them are. But that's a story for a different day. I'm not going to go down that rabbit hole with you today, but they need to pay Trey Hendrickson. Until they do, could he. Could he be sitting out week one with an undisclosed injury? Potentially. What. What can the team do? Can they find him? Can ensure they can, but again, it doesn't work to anybody's favor. You. You find him a lot of money, find him a game check. You piss him off more, you put your team in a harder spot. Maybe he walks away, maybe he misses more games. It just. Those things never work out. So he has leverage here. The team is better off just making him happy and paying him what he deserves. Maybe, again, there's a middle ground there somewhere that they can find. Hopefully it happens. Juwan Jennings, another situation we're monitoring, and I'll switch hats, you know, for the Niners fans, but it's a situation you got to monitor because. Because of what he's asked for publicly to say, either trade me or pay me. And I know Kyle Shanahan and all the coaches are going to say all the right things because they're a team with a great coaching staff, a great culture, a great front office staff, great team, great teammates. But from the outside looking in, if you're just looking at it objectively, knowing what you know, you say, okay, Juwan Jennings had this injury, and calf injuries are nagging, and they take a while, and you don't want them to come back because once they come back, you got to sit four, three, four weeks anyway. So I understand the patience. And, and, and, and, hey, we're gonna. We're gonna take our time. We're gonna make sure we get it right. But from the outside looking in, when you make those demands, it could look like you're holding in. And so I'm glad Kyle Shanahan got ahead of it and said, hey, now, this is an injury. We understand. We're all on the same page here, and I respect that. That's how you put fires out and you put out potential speculation that he could be holding out. But that's a situation to monitor because I'm interested to see what the 49ers do. Brandon Aiuk is still not. Not playing. Ricky Purcell, you know, is back in the lineup, but he's been banged up. You've heard about some young guys stepping up. They're bringing in guys because they just don't have enough legs in the receiver room. Right now, you. All your, your. Your foundational players are showing up. Trent Williams showed up on time, in shape. They say Nicholas John Bosa is having an incredible camp. Fred Warner looks like the beast that he has been. All pro. Fred, they, they, the guys are there. George Kittle looks amazing. Christian McCaffrey, the burst, everything is still there. But you need these receivers to show up and Juwan Jennings technically will be your one. Without Brandon Iuk there, you know, Ricky Purcell, maybe, you know, maybe one, two, maybe. They're both depending on how they're drawing the plays up, but from a veteran perspective, he had almost 1,000 yards last year. He was very reliable and very consistently open, consistently getting separation, consistently doing what he needs to do, both blocking and setting the tone in ball games. With his ability to get open and make big plays, I think they're going to have to do something. I think they're going to have to appease him and I think once they do, there might be a chance that he's back in practice that day. I don't know. It kind of seems that way, though. As always, it's beautiful. Joining with you, I will be in San Francisco for the training camp in person with the Richard Sherman podcast. That's going to be an incredible day. I'll be in Seattle, Ottawa, training camp for the Richard Sherman podcast. So stay tuned for those in person live interviews with the players and coaches. I'm looking forward to that. It's going to be a really exciting time. We're venturing out, people. We're venturing out. We're taking it out of the podcast, out of the man cave and we're going out to the facilities and seeing people in person and I want to hear the real story. I'm gonna see if I can get Juwan because I want to ask him myself. Stay tuned. We appreciate you joining us. You could be anywhere in the world, but you're here with us all. Love and respect. See you next time.
