Mike Florio on the Parsons’ contract situation, collusion concerns & the NFLPA’s silence

KRLD-FM / 105.3 The Fan

Mike Florio joined Shan & RJ to break down the Micah Parsons contract saga, blasting the Cowboys for their handling of negotiations and accusing Jerry Jones of violating the CBA. Florio questions why the NFLPA hasn’t stepped in, explains how the Cowboys may be daring Micah to sit out, and outlines why other teams might avoid pursuing him if he’s tagged. Could this all be part of a larger issue of collusion and silent power plays across the league?

00:00give us your overall thoughts on just this entire saga well look i i remember what you said last

00:24year about the cowboys possibly having their patients wear thin with micah after three seasons

00:33in the nfl and my first reaction to that was fine if you got that issue then just trade him what what

00:38are you doing and i feel like they're kind of in that same posture if they've got misgivings about

00:42michael parsons trade him if they don't then pay him and i think what's currently going on to the

00:48extent that they're taking this position he agreed to a handshake deal in march they want him to take

00:54that deal not whatever deal he may want now and if he doesn't want to take the deal that they think

00:59he agreed to in march then they want him to play for 24 million this year i think they'd love to kick

01:05the can at 24 million into next year like they did with dak like they would have done with cd lamb

01:12if he hadn't held out michael parsons should have held out and they are basically daring him at this

01:19point now to say my tight back won't let me play week one they're gonna they're gonna call his bluff

01:28because they think at the end of the day he's going to want to play football and it's a microcosm of the

01:33bigger issue between the league and the players whenever there's a question of a work stoppage

01:37whether it's a lockout or a strike the owners bank on the fact the players will not want to miss

01:43playing football and i think jerry jones is going to dare michael parsons to not play football
