“We thought it was in the best interest of our organization, not only the future, but also in this season.”

It is difficult for Cowboys fans to understand the agreement was concluded in favor of the team’s total victory in 2025 and in the future, but Jones offered some details on the contrary, starting with the acquisition of the defensive platform of the Pro Bowl, Kenny Clark, as part of the agreement.

“We won a pro bowl player in an area in which we had major concerns – inside our defense,” said Jones.

“The facts are that we have to stop the race. We have not been able to stop the race for several years.”

The owner of the cowboys accuses the agent of Micah Parsons for the negotiations of contracts in standby: “told us to stick our A–“

Jones added that trade discussions against Parsons were continued throughout spring, although he said he had offered a parson agreement in April. He previously declared that he had offered Parsons the highest contract for a non-quarter in the history of the NFL, and he doubled on Thursday evening that he offered him more guaranteed money than the $ 136 million he obtained during the extension of packers of $ 188 million over four years after being exchanged.

“I would say this: it was important that we obtained, if we could get it, the kind of interest that we got to trade for Micah,” said Jones. “It was an asset of which we have obtained four good years. But when you speak of concluding the contract he has obtained and for the future, it is a whole commitment. None of this counts on what he has done the first four years. It goes against what he can do for you in the future.”

The cowboys also received the first round choices of the Packers 2026 and 2027, which said that Jones did not exclude trade for another established player.

“Not only do we immediately get a player, but these draft choices could get us … I’m talking about the best pro Bowl type players – I will not necessarily say that you will get these players. You have to write or acquire them,” said Jones.

“But they could get us as little as three or up to five exceptional players. Now, not only do they contribute to a game that needs a lot of players on the field, but they also give you a better chance that a high percentage of these is available.”

Jones said it was a consensual decision, both at the front office and by coaches staff, to trade with packers. He added that it was still in the air Thursday morning, when Clark went to the practice of packers as usual.

Jones was also asked about a NFL network report That said, Parsons returned to the cowboys of “empathy” when the commercial interest was disclosed earlier this week. Starts says the team said to “play the 5th year or leave”.

“It was not in any way left order or something like that,” replied Jones when asked for this report. “I think I read where they said that I replied:” We are playing under the contract as there is at the moment. Prepare to play Philadelphia. “Correct, it was correct.”

The finalized trade, the cowboys turn to their future while being the belief that they can win right now, starting with week 1 against the Eagles of Philadelphia.

“I want to be sure that our fans understand, I think a lot of micah, and I wish him so much success,” said Jones. “I don’t want him to be successful when he plays cowboys as much as I want him to have global success. Micah Parsons has done exceptional work for us for four years.

“There is no doubt that I could have signed it in April. We all know that, to have agreements, all the parties must agree. It was by design. I made an offer an offer. It was not acceptable, and I honored the fact that this was not done in the way in which he wanted to do it through an agent.

“So, it was made an offer.
