00:00Micah Parsons traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers.

00:04I never thought this would happen.

00:06Micah Parsons wants a trade.

00:07Yeah, he's not getting one.

00:08Sooner than later, these two will come to an agreement.

00:10No idea what Jerry Jones was saying.

00:12I want to negotiate with my player.

00:13I don't want to talk to the agent here.

00:15So now they opened up earlier this week, as we heard from insiders,

00:18that maybe Jerry is looking to trade Micah Parsons,

00:21but we still didn't think that would be a possibility.

00:23And where would he go?

00:25And Dallas Cowboys say, you know what?

00:26I think our team is better without Micah Parsons.

00:30Jerry did this.

00:31Sign your players sooner than later,

00:33because here's what I always like where it comes down to.

00:36You're going to trade Micah Parsons in hoping that those two first-round draft picks

00:39somehow get you closer to Micah Parsons

00:41when you had Micah Parsons already on your football team.

00:44I was so shocked to hear this news come down yesterday,

00:47because once again, it's the failure of an organization.

00:50Jerry is an unbelievable businessman worth billions and billions of dollars.

00:56The Dallas Cowboys are the biggest brand in the world,

00:58but he is a bonehead when it comes to general managing.

01:01If you would have made this move when Micah Parsons wanted more money than you figured

01:05you would get him and traded him before the draft,

01:07you'd probably have two more defensive players and much more money allocated

01:10to your defense and offense to make your team better.

01:13You trade Micah Parsons a week before the season,

01:15now your season is effectively over.

01:18Joe, where did this start, and how did it happen,

01:20Micah Parsons ending up in Green Bay?

01:22Well, it happened with, you know, Jerry trying to do an end around

01:27by not including what is very clearly written into the collective bargaining agreement

01:32to have an agent present, but he thought he was going to somehow or another,

01:37you know, push him into a corner and get a deal done without an agent in the room,

01:42and that obviously backfired in a big way.

01:46And then Jerry let the ego get involved, and all of a sudden, I mean,

01:51a lot of stuff coming out of him.

01:53This all could have been rectified, no problem.

01:56I mean, initially, from what we're understanding now,

02:00the offer that was going to be presented or what Dallas was going to offer him

02:06wasn't far off from the total value of what he ended up getting from Green Bay.

02:11But, again, Jerry, being Jerry, wanted to, you know,

02:17always wants to have the last word and drag this thing out to a point where

02:22now it was a, okay, it's a chess match.

02:25So now if he continues to act as if he's hurt, not available to play for you,

02:30he becomes a bigger and bigger cancer in that locker room, Donnie.

02:33He becomes a bigger and bigger distraction for this team.

02:35So at what point, Jerry, are you just going, can't get this?

02:40The agent wouldn't talk to Jerry, Jerry wouldn't talk to the agent,

02:44and Micah Parsons becoming a distraction.

02:46You backed yourself into this corner, and now, all right,

02:50a couple of first-round picks too late, not for this year, Donnie,

02:53and that's my point.

02:54The Cowboys are telling Cowboy fans, we're in no rush.

02:58There's no urgency here.

03:01Green Bay is saying for the first time, I can't remember the last time

03:04Green Bay spent $188 million on a guy like this,

03:08and they are all in right now saying we're going to,

03:12now is the time for the Packers to win a championship.

03:15Kudos to Green Bay, but Jerry, my goodness,

03:18good luck explaining this to the fan base.
