Just as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry “Above The Fold” Jones likes it, the contract negotiations between the Cowboys and unhappy superstar Micah Parsons are perched atop The Talk of the NFL Mountain this offseason … with the ugliness reaching a low point with Parsons’ recent trade demand.

The Cowboys show no signs of relinquishing control. ESPN’s Adam Schefter confirmed that “no deal is in sight” as the preseason nears, and the team could leverage the franchise tag if no extension is reached.

In a recent survey released by ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky, he ranked his top 10 NFL QBs on seven different skillsets from arm strength and mechanics to ball placement and pocket presence. Despite being a recent MVP candidate, Prescott only landed on one of Orlovsky’s top 10 lists — mechanics.

It’s been nearly three weeks since Micah Parsons formally requested a trade. However, just like with his contract extension, there has been little traction, and it seems unlikely to happen any time soon.

Celebrity Cowboys fan and Hollywood A-lister Denzel Washington ripped owner Jerry Jones during an appearance on ESPN’s “First Take.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Cowboys’ wide receiver room, led by All-Pro CeeDee Lamb and newly-acquired WR2 George Pickens is the team’s best rated unit. They come as the ninth best in the league, with the Cincinnati Bengals’ room, including the vaunted duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, comes in the top spot.

The stakes are high for the Dallas Cowboys entering this season, and Marcus Spears believes they must deliver. The ESPN analyst and former Cowboys defensive end explained that he sees this year as a “boom or bust” of sorts for the franchise.

"The Dallas Cowboys are for entertainment purposes only," he said. "Before the Cowboys come on the TV, before we see their games, you know when they show the NFL branding, they need to have a warning label come on the TV screen."
