Cowboys Headlines: Parsons turns negotiations over to the professionals, Diggs out Week 1

[ASFN Admin]

A straight line from point A to point B isn't the quickest route to a contract extension; not in Dallas. Negotiations must go through the player's agent, and Cowboys brass found this out the hard way in talks with Micah Parsons. Team owner Jerry Jones acknowledged this fact but doesn't see it as a concern as long as it is done correctly. Either way, Dallas finds itself in a position to add more salary than anticipated, or consider trading one of their most valuable assets.

While contract negotiations may not be a concern for the Jones family, it appears as if agents around the league have devised plans to handle Dallas. Elsewhere, as front office gathered at league meetings, the Cowboys found themselves speaking about building their roster. The clues left behind have narrowed the potential draft selections enough to get a breakdown of what the Cowboys may do come selection time. Lastly, the waves of free agency have passed, yet Dallas says they aren't done adding players round out the latest news surrounding the team.
