“Probably referring to Micah Parsons”: NFL fans react as Jerry Jones teases mystery Cowboys trade before deadline
Jerry Jones Teases Monumental Deadline Trade as Cowboys Look to Address Team Shortcomings
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appeared on Stephen A. Smith’s SiriusXM show on Monday, hinting at a significant trade ahead of the NFL deadline. Without revealing the player’s identity, Jones stated, “Immediately it will have him on the field and it will address some of the things that have been our shortcomings.”
This move follows a similar tease last year that eventually brought wide receiver Jonathan Mingo to the Cowboys. Jones also mentioned that the team could make “a couple more” trades before the deadline, keeping fans on edge about possible roster changes.
Reaction from Fans and Analysts
The announcement immediately sparked various reactions from fans and insiders on social media:
– Tyler (Panik! At The Frisco) speculated the reference might be tied to the recent Micah Parsons trade.
– Ad Kit Basher joked, “Immediately as in Maxx Crosby on our D-line tonight?”
– LibertyOrDeath wondered if the Cowboys had traded away quarterback Dak Prescott to fix their weaknesses.
– Some fans expressed skepticism, with one cautioning, “Don’t get too excited. I’d bet my kids it’s just Logan Wilson and maybe if they get really aggressive Jermaine Johnson. Both of which are not needle movers by any means with the rest of the roster.”
– Others humorously hoped for more impactful acquisitions, with one saying, “Welcome Arden Key,” and another pleading, “Please tell me he traded himself and his son and grandson for an actual football guy.”
Priority Needs for the Cowboys
The biggest need for Dallas is arguably at the edge rusher position following Micah Parsons’ departure. USA Today’s Jacob Camenker recently listed top edge rushers available, including Trey Hendrickson, Arden Key, Jermaine Johnson II, and Bradley Chubb. Other key players mentioned as potential targets are off-ball linebackers Logan Wilson and Demario Davis, along with cornerback Riq Woolen.
Jerry Jones on Media Attention and Micah Parsons Dispute
During the same SiriusXM appearance, Jones admitted to leveraging controversy to keep the Cowboys in the media spotlight:
“The Dallas Cowboys probably have the kind of interest that we have in no small part because we stay out front and we stay controversial. When it gets slow, I stir that s*** up. Fact. I just want to be relevant. I just want you to be looking at us.”
He also revisited his ongoing contract dispute with Micah Parsons, recalling a moment during a preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons where Parsons was seen lying on a training table:
“Not one time, not even in the hottest of days and two-a-days in August in Texas, between eleven in the morning or when they quit practicing or four in the afternoon, did I never see any one of these two go over and lay on a damn training table in front of a million people.”
Upcoming Game
The Cowboys will face the Arizona Cardinals tonight, with kickoff scheduled for 7:15 p.m. CT on ESPN/ABC.
Stay tuned as the trade deadline approaches — Dallas fans are eager to see what moves Jerry Jones has in store.
