Or what about McLaurin, Smith, and Brown?

Why would they agree to trade him within the division???

lol I mean...what's he going to say? It's true lol. No player would want that made public. Especially someone right out of college.

Anytime a coach says a player has a reputation for being somewhat lazy, there's usually a lot of truth behind it. It could also be a motivation tactic put out there by the coaches. But it's definitely a big red flag.

Guys like that don't typically stick around for very long.

I don’t think anyone is ignoring the red flag. What I’m saying is that this is literally the first time I’ve ever heard anyone say lazy and Jaydon Blue in the same sentence. I live in Texas too so if he had any lazy traits that would have been talked about, and it hasn’t been talked about. Not saying it’s not true just saying hearing this is a first for me.

I would rather let the kid prove himself instead of giving up on the kid and never giving him a chance just because 1 guy said, “he’s a little lazy”. Let’s just see if he has anything. It’s not like he was a 1st round pick. Low risk, high reward.

He should go on Micah's podcast to discuss.

Jaydon Blue on Micah’s podcast:

“I mean yeah, I show up to workouts 30 minutes late but that’s only because practice starts at 9. Like WTF?!?!? Who tf has time to get up that early in the morning when I’m up till 3 every night playing fortnight. I also didn’t show up to voluntary camp because ITS VOLUNTARY!!!!! If you don’t know what voluntary means then look it up in the dictionary.”

Micah: “how far are you in the playbook?”

Jayson Blue: “I mean yeah, I opened it up a few times but that thing is huge. Ain’t nobody got time for dat. Just hand me the ball, it ain’t that difficult bruh..”

Eagles already have arguably the best receiving duo in the league with Brown and Smith. Trading assets for someone that doesn’t actually make you that much better wouldn’t make sense. There’s only one ball, and I see no reason to move away from a run heavy offense featuring Saquon, and then picking your spots with Brown and Smith and Goedert.

I get it. But when a former coach speaks up, it's kind of hard to ignore. It's not like it's just some random guys opinion on the internet. When there's rumors about a guy like that then it's typically true for the most part. Maybe he matures & develops into a good player. But I would have low expectations for him if I was fan.

That’s why I said it’s best to let him play and let’s see if he’s lazy. If he’s lazy it will show in is game.

I'm not aware of any QB in the NFL with a better winning percentage than Showtime. 8-)

ESPN really trying to hype up the Parsons contract status.

What is the state of the Cowboys' cap?

If they pay Micah over $40 million a year, since TJ Watt just signed for that much, can the team absorb that contract? Would be over $100 million between just Dak and Parsons?

Jerry said Micah is showing leadership for showing up to camp instead of holding out. Parsons is still under contract for this upcoming season? He won't be a free agent until February?

He's getting $24 million for this 5th year option. Way below his market value but still a good chunk of money for a guy finishing up his rookie contract.

Hmm they extended Osa Odighizuwa for 4 years $80 million. Guessing a good starter but not a big name player. Spotrac shows just over $32 million in cap space. But get this, Dak's cap number for 2025 is $50.5 million but in 2026, it will be over $74 million! Then $68.38 in 2027 and $78.38 in 2028.

Still, assuming they eventually extend him, the Cowboys will have two of the biggest contracts in the league. So expectations for the team should be pretty high, even if they've not come close to meeting them.

We see this every year. The Cowboys have a high priced free agent that needs to get paid. The Jones’ wait and wait and wait. They collect as much free advertising as they can from ESPN over the lack of signing said player. Then right before the season starts they make the player the highest paid at his position.

The Cowboys know Micah isn’t going anywhere unless they want him too. They will get all the free advertising they can get and then will sign Micah before the start of the season. We see this every year. Rinse, wash, repeat.
