Micah Parsons' brother breaks silence on Cowboys' Daron Bland contract: 'Two shots at Super Bowl...'
Cowboys trade Micah Parsons to Packers, then extend CB Daron Bland 4 years/$92M. Dallas fans, incl. Parsons’ brother, slam move over $3M salary dispute.
Just days after trading CB Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers amid contract talks fallout, the Dallas Cowboys have made a major move on their existing CB roster.
Jerry Jones and co. have offered a contract extension to CB Daron Bland, which runs through four years and is worth over $92 million, with over $50 million guaranteed. The decision irked many Dallas faithful, given that the dispute between Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and Micah Parsons and his agents, centered on the player's salary. There was an overarching surprise as many failed to see the reason behind letting Parsons go over a $3 million salary dispute, while extending Bland on a $92 million deal.
A Cowboys fan whose commentary has stayed on the headline amid the Micah Parsons trade was Micah Parsons' brother, Terrence Parsons Jr. He also reacted to the news of the Cowboys extending Bland while not paying Micah $3 million more, as his agents demanded.
"The only thing that changed for me is I get 2 shots at a SB now lol like a kid with 2 birthdays I got 2 family’s now nothing but love. Fuck the opps tho," Terrence Parsons Jr wrote.
