00:00Let's go live to Dallas, Odyssey Station, 105.3 The Fan.

00:04Joining us right now, River Island's guest line.

00:06Thank you so much, Short Notice, for doing it.

00:09It's R.J. Choppy, who is on in the mornings on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

00:14R.J., thanks for hopping on.

00:16How you doing, man?

00:18I'm doing well.

00:20I'm on my way to baseball practice.

00:21I have a feeling that all the dads are going to have questions.

00:26Yeah.

00:26That's the way it's going, right?

00:27Yeah, we're dads and we have questions.

00:29Exactly.

00:30What's your answer?

00:31Because you know what the question is.

00:33Hey, R.J., what the hell are the Cowboys doing?

00:37Man, I was trying to fix something in the house when I get up and I see 74 unread text messages.

00:44Oh, my God.

00:45And I was like, oh, no.

00:47What happened here?

00:48I figured there was a group chat blowing up.

00:50But, man, I'm a little surprised.

00:54Not because, like, this isn't a move that 31 other teams wouldn't make.

01:01I'm surprised that this team does because Jerry is very much in a win now.

01:06He's always said, I ain't got time for a bad time.

01:09That's his line, right?

01:10I ain't got time for a bad time.

01:12He's getting older.

01:13Never thought he would effectively punt on a season at this age.

01:18But I was stunned for that very reason.

01:23I never thought he would go down this road and go through with this.

01:26He's always eventually paid.

01:29But something got something here, whether it was the quote-unquote handshake agreement

01:35and Jerry felt very slighted, or whether it was Micah just not kind of refusing to talk

01:44or David Mulligetta, the agent, refusing to talk.

01:46I don't know what it was.

01:48Something went astray here.

01:51And do you think that it is as simple as, you know, the handshake agreement

01:55where Jerry allegedly went behind the agent's back and then he found out

01:59and then Micah rallied up with the agent?

02:01How long has this situation been this badly broken?

02:05Well, I do think it's very possible that that was the issue, that, you know,

02:13the agent and Micah just were like, we're not doing this.

02:16And remember, Micah, back on what was it, August 1st, said he requested a trade.

02:23And, you know, I never thought the Cowboys would go through with it

02:26and actually trade him.

02:27But, yeah, something happened.

02:28Something went sideways to this.

02:30And I don't know if Micah's camp just never got over the fact that Jerry

02:35refused to start negotiations again.

02:40Jerry had said, you know, that the offer they made was a great offer.

02:46It was over $40 million per year.

02:49And, you know, he made that offer to them back when it was just to him and Micah.

02:53And when that handshake agreement got kind of, you know, stepped back on,

02:59you know, I don't think Jerry ever offered it again.

03:01I think that was a problem.

03:03R.J. Choppy is with us, 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

03:07After the big news, Micah Parsons traded to the Cowboys.

03:11I'm sorry, traded to the Packers.

03:12Cowboys get two first-rounders.

03:15And Kenny Clark, the nose tackle, from the Packers on the way.

03:20R.J., do you happen to be listening to your station right now or when this went down?

03:24Did you tune into The Fan?

03:25No, I just finished getting ready for the next day's show.

03:34And I had started on my Honeydew list before I leave for baseball.

03:39Baseball Friday.

03:40I was trying to put together a vacuum cleaner.

03:41I was not listening to anything.

03:43I got like, my phone just kept dinging.

03:45And my wife was like, dude, your phone's blowing up.

03:47All right, so can we play for you what was said right as it happened?

03:52This is clearly your co-worker.

03:53We'd love to get your reaction.

03:55I would have tried to push this thing for more.

03:58But the Cowboys clearly were saying, screw this.

03:59We want to get rid of this guy.

04:01This isn't going to work for us.

04:03I am just blown away and stunned that they actually did this.

04:07I did not think we would live in a world where Jerry and Steven would move a player of the status of a Micah Parsons.

04:15And I would like to applaud them for doing so.

04:17Yes, I'll join you an applause.

04:17Because I think, big picture, this is great for the organization.

04:20Okay, we got multiple hosts on your station applauding this, RJ.

04:25Look, team building-wise, it's absolutely the right thing to do, right?

04:32You move on from, you can't have a $60 million quarterback, a $35 million receiver, and a $45 million edge rusher.

04:42You just can't do it.

04:43That's $130 million on three guys.

04:46Dak is not good enough to be able to put that kind of emphasis on a top-heavy roster.

04:55If this was the Chiefs, you can get away with it, right?

04:57If this is the Bills, but not this team.

05:00So, strictly team building, I've got no qualms with this.

05:04I'm just stunned they did it.

05:06I didn't think they would do it.

05:06It's an interesting statement, and I think it begs two questions.

05:11First of all, one of them is, if that's how you feel, that the other two guys that you paid are sort of like,

05:19if they're going to have that, then you can't keep this guy.

05:22I'd ask you, then should they have paid those guys?

05:25Should they have $60 million a year wrapped up in Dak?

05:29Look, I don't think they should.

05:36I didn't have a problem when they did it, because they still had a good roster.

05:42But now that the roster is, it's obvious you don't have Micah anymore,

05:46and Micah was kind of a cheat code on defense.

05:49Their defensive EPA is number one in the league when he's on the field,

05:52and it's last in the league when he's off it.

05:55So, that's what I'm saying.

05:56If you're not going to have Micah Parsons, there's no point in having Dak Prescott.

06:02You're not going to win.

06:03There's no point in spending six.

06:05You might as well just punt, let Joe Milton quarterback, get a top-five pick, and start over.

06:10That team-building-wise, that's probably what they should do.

06:12They're not going to do that.

06:15They're dug in, and you can't really get rid of Dak anyway because of the contract.

06:20But, I mean, it just put them in a bind.

06:23It really did.

06:24Like, having to pay three guys $130 million is not sustainable.

06:29I've got to be honest with you, RJ.

06:31I think the world right now, especially if you look on social media, they're expecting Dallas,

06:36and you guys are just a handful of representatives,

06:39but they're expecting Dallas to be much more angry about this than you all sound.

06:44You'd be stunned at the text I have.

06:47Like, they're all like, good riddance, let's move on.

06:49Now, I'm not a good riddance guy.

06:51I think Mike is tremendous.

06:53I think he is easily one of the five best non-quarterbacks in the league to me.

07:02But, yeah, from, like, the money that you were going to have to spend that it was going to take,

07:07because they dragged their feet, and that's their own fault, right?

07:10That's also their own fault, but because they dragged their feet.

07:11I thought for sure that it was going to be a problem to have $45 million there,

07:17$35 million with C.D. Lamb, and then $60 million with Dak.

07:21Fascinating.

07:22Hey, RJ, good luck at baseball.

07:27Okay.

07:27Nice and warm.

07:28Only 109 degrees, according to my car.

07:30Oh, that's all?

07:31Yeah.

07:31Okay.

07:32It's a nice buck nine, yeah.

07:33We're in the Metroplex.

07:34We're shorts.

07:35All right.

07:35RJ, thanks, man.

07:37Appreciate you jumping on.

07:38Yeah.

07:38No problem.

07:39Okay, RJ Choppy, 105.3 The Fan in Dallas.

07:43Definitely.
