According to Jeff Howe of The Athletic, the Cowboys’ last offer to DE Micah Parsons was a five-year, $202.5 million contract.

Howe says Parsons rejected that proposal from the Cowboys and it ultimately opened the door for the trade with the Packers.

Parsons walked away with a four-year, $188 million extension from the Packers that includes $136 million guaranteed.

The edge rusher market has been exploding with the new deals from T.J. Watt ($41 million) and Myles Garrett ($40 million). However, Parsons is blowing past those average annual salaries with his $47 million per year from Green Bay.

In terms of the situation with the Cowboys, it’s clear that owner Jerry Jones felt that they had a deal in place several months ago and the situation turned personal at least to some degree.
