Robert Griffin Takes Sarcastic Dig at Jerry Jones After Cowboys Owner Calls Out Micah Parsons
Jerry Jones' Bold Moves Spark Backlash and Locker Room Drama
Cowboys Owner Spars with Stars, Fuels Contract Tensions
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has once again made headlines this offseason, but not for his team's performance on the field. Jones' public comments have ignited a firestorm, pitting him against some of the franchise's biggest names and raising eyebrows across the NFL.
Jones recently stirred controversy by publicly questioning past contract extensions, expressing frustration over injuries, and even admitting he hasn't spoken to Micah Parsons' agent about a new deal – despite Parsons' pointed response to a J.J. Watt tweet regarding lucrative defensive contracts. The owner’s message was clear: "I sign the check. Period."
This bold stance has drawn criticism from former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, who took to social media with a sarcastic jab at Jones: “Jerry Jones calling out Dak Prescott and Micah Parsons accidentally created a stronger locker room… That’s some serious 4D chess BIG BRAIN thinking Jerry.”
Griffin later clarified his post as sarcasm, but the sentiment resonates with many observing the situation. Meanwhile, Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns and J.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers recently signed new deals worth at least $40 million per season – a benchmark that further complicates Dallas' efforts to retain Parsons.
The Cowboys' front office's refusal to engage with Parsons’ agent only adds fuel to the fire, intensifying the already tense situation.
It remains unclear how this unfolding drama will impact the Cowboys' locker room. However, one thing is certain: Jerry Jones’ actions have sparked a media frenzy and set the stage for a potentially tumultuous season in Dallas.
