As we mentioned, the pacing of this negotiation wasn’t wholly dissimilar from what all of us witnessed with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb final 12 months, and even Zack Martin the 12 months earlier than that. As soon as the crew arrived in California for camp in 2023 and ’24, their negotiations have been placed on the again burner, the identical method Parsons’s have been this summer season. Principally sending the message that if a deal isn’t completed that works for the crew early, the participant has to attend.
That mentioned, there’s a distinction between this negotiation and the earlier three. Martin, Lamb and Prescott are/have been very fashionable within the locker room. That’s not the case with Parsons, who has rankled teammates in numerous methods, seen by some as egotistical and self-centered. His podcast has created points, too, that go all the best way as much as quarterback Dak Prescott.
