<p>Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones claims he and <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/161667" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/161667">Micah Parsons</a> agreed to an extension in March before the pass-rusher's agent shut the conversation down.</p><p>"When we wanted to send the details to the agent, the agent told us to stick it up our ass," Jones told Michael Irvin on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sBRMVGp-84">his YouTube channel</a>. "Micah and I talked, and then we were going to send it over to the agent. We had our agreements on term, amount, guarantees, everything. We were going to send it over to the agent, and the agent said, 'Don't bother because we've got all that to negotiate.'"</p><p>He continued: "Well, I'd already negotiated. I already moved off my mark on several areas. So, the issue, very frankly, is we've had the negotiation in my mind and the agent's trying to get his nose in it right now and try to come in there and improve off the mark that we already set."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Jones also revealed that his offer to Parsons would have made the pass-rusher the highest-paid non-quarterback in terms of guaranteed money.</p><p>"The world would know that I want Micah if they knew what I had offered him."</p><p>The talented edge rusher, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal, requested a trade earlier this month due to a contract dispute with the Cowboys' front office. Jones previously <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3319437" href="https://thescore.com/news/3319437">said</a> he didn't regard the trade request with any "seriousness."</p><p>The 82-year-old told Irvin that, in his mind, Parsons will be with Dallas for at least another three seasons because the team can franchise tag him twice. Jones also cited a precedent set by the club's negotiations with quarterback <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/50470" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/50470">Dak Prescott</a>, who played the final year of his rookie deal in 2019 before getting a franchise tag in 2020 and 2021, though he was quickly extended after receiving the second.</p><p>Jones continued to blame Parsons' agent for the contract dispute. The pass-rusher <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///news/3318844" href="https://thescore.com/news/3318844">noted</a> in his trade request that he no longer wanted to participate in "close door negotiations without my agent present." Parsons also said he didn't consider the talks in March a formal negotiation.</p><p>"My job is managing the check," Jones explained. "Micah's got to do the playing. Where's the least important part of this whole equation we're talking about? What is the least incremental part of the whole equation? The attorney or the agent. He works for Micah. He's not the principal here in any way. They're in here to make their percentage. They're in here to, basically, yes, advise Micah."</p><p>He added, "So many times in this industry, you have a different agenda going on with agents. They're playing a game."</p><p>Parsons removed all mentions of the Cowboys from his X account following Jones' interview.</p><figure class="article-segment--embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

In a 28-team format, the Big Ten and SEC would get seven automatic bids, according to Thamel The ACC and Big 12 would get five each, leaving two auto bids for the non-Power 4 conferences and two at-large teams.</p><p>Tony Petitti, the commissioner of the Big Ten, shared the idea with his conference Wednesday, sources told Thamel.</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>While the idea hasn't been discussed much outside of the Big Ten, Petitti did talk about it with SEC commissioner Greg Sankey on Friday, according to <a href="https://x.com/RossDellenger/status/1956752535688974433">Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports</a>.</p><p>The CFP moved to a 12-team model in 2024.

<p>Former Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson says he'd take a do-over on the <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/111194" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/111194">A.J. Brown</a> trade.</p><p>The Titans dealt Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles during the 2022 NFL Draft for a package that included a first-round pick, which they used to select wide receiver <a data-in-app-uri="thescore:///nfl/players/173990" href="https://thescore.com/nfl/players/173990">Treylon Burks</a>.</p><p>"There was just a lot of discussion that went into that decision," Robinson said Wednesday during an appearance on 102.5-FM, according to <a href="https://www.nashvillepost.com/sports/football/former-titans-general-manager-jon-robinson-regrets-critical-decisions-during-tenure/article_31c41eba-cdb4-4cfd-8f89-55906595d674.html">John Glennon of The Nashville Post</a>. "Ultimately, it was my responsibility to make the decision."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Robinson added: "Again, if I had one of those mulligans, I would probably do that one. ... In hindsight, if you had a do-over, I'd be an idiot to sit here and say, 'No, I'd do it again.' No, you'd do it different. But we made the decision that we made, and then the rest is what it is."</p><p>Tennessee waived Burks earlier this week following a disappointing three-year run in which he totalled 699 receiving yards. Brown, who was seeking a new contract from Tennessee at the time of the trade, went on to ink a $100-million extension with the Eagles shortly after the deal. He's since gone on to record 4,031 receiving yards in three years in Philadelphia while signing another extension worth $96 million over three years in 2024.</p><p>Robinson also criticized some of his other draft misses, such as selecting offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson in the first round in 2020. Wilson played one game with the Titans before being traded.</p><p>"I liken (selecting Wilson) to a tee-ball game, and I don't know if I even hit the tee," Robinson said.</p><p>Tennessee went 66-43 in the regular season and 3-4 in the playoffs during Robinson's tenure.</p>

"I have different tools in my tool belt to get to different protections, to get to different runs versus certain looks."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>One area the 24-year-old said he's specifically focusing on this year is raising the bar as a leader for the offense.</p><p>"I'm the one that has to uphold the standard," Daniels said.

He's as good as any passer that there's ever been, and I think now the numbers are proving that."</p><p>He added: "Lamar Jackson as a passer is historically great."</p><div class="the-score-article-ad-unit"></div><p>Jackson first ascended to superstardom due to his rushing ability, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to record multiple seasons with over 1,000 rushing yards.</p><p>However, he's expanded his game in recent years. He became the first player in league history to register 4,000 passing yards and 800 rushing yards in a season in 2024. </p><p>Jackson's 119.6 passer rating in 2024 was fourth best all time, while his combined passer rating over the last two seasons (111.3) is the highest among all quarterbacks with at least 500 attempts in that span.</p>
