Cowboys' Owner Jerry Jones Stirs the Pot with Comment About Two Star players...and JJ Watt Responds

DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 21 – Jerry Jones questioned Micah Parsons' durability during contract talks, citing injuries despite Parsons starting all 63 games of his career and recording 52.5 sacks, sources say.

  • At Oxnard, California training camp on Monday, Jones criticized his own stars, saying `Just because we sign doesn't mean we're going to have him`, and he also took a shot at Dak Prescott's availability after his 2024 extension.
  • As Parsons enters the final year of his $40 million rookie deal, the Cowboys remain in long-term extension talks, though Jones overstated his missed games last season by claiming six when he missed four.
  • Following Jones's remarks, Parsons reposted the social media message and on Tuesday said he was paying no mind to the other edge rushers.
  • In addressing the dispute, Schottenheimer added `However this thing plays out, it's going to play out`, praising Parsons's decision to report to camp as a sign of leadership and noting he asked him to maintain a presence at voluntary OTAs.
  • Despite the standoff, Jones remains focused, saying a potential Parsons hold-in won't impact camp development, which runs through August 14, and noted Parsons could become a free agent if no deal is reached by next league year.
