Episode notes
Parsons Trade Makes Packers Contenders
- Trading Micah Parsons to Green Bay immediately shifts the Packers into true Super Bowl contention given their prior strong defense.
- Dallas loses a rare, high-impact defensive force and sacrifices immediate competitiveness for uncertain future draft picks.
Dallas' Payment Priorities Cost Them
- Jerry Jones overpaid other offensive stars but refused to pay Parsons earlier, creating a dismantling contract dynamic.
- Sherman argues Dallas could have kept Parsons at a lower earlier-market rate and preserved cap and roster balance.
Negotiate Star Deals Early
- Avoid waiting until a star's contract year and a rising salary cap before negotiating big extensions.
- Doing deals earlier can save millions and keep core players intact for title runs.
