Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones has finally spoken out about Micah Parsons’ trade request.

The messy fallout only continued from there when Jones rehashed past contract talks involving former Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant and Jay-Z — a five-year, $70 million contract extension in 2015 — drawing reactions from the receiver and Roc Nation Sports, the latter’s management company.

As time goes on, price tags typically rise. The Cowboys waited until after Justin Jefferson's extension with the Vikings to sign CeeDee Lamb, and the same scenario played out when Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt raised the bar for defensive players before Micah Parsons could find a new deal.
