Troy Aikman gives his verdict on Micah Parsons' Cowboys standoff... and predicts how Dallas will do next season
Cowboys legend Troy Aikman has declared that Micah Parsons is 'worth every penny that he's ultimately going to get paid' as the edge rusher continues to seek a fresh long-term deal. Parsons requested a trade this summer amid a tense contract standoff, with the two-time All-Pro seeking a significant raise for his next deal (his rookie contract will expire after he plays out his $21.3million fifth-year option in 2025). He has been sitting out of practices citing a back injury. And while Dallas owner Jerry Jones has seemingly played hardball with the talented defender, Aikman believes Parsons has 'leverage' in negotiations. 'His leverage is that they can't win without him,' Aikman said during the Monday night preseason game between the Commanders and Bengals on ESPN. He added moments later: 'I do think the Cowboys are gonna be better than what a lot of people project.' The Cowboys' win total has been set at 7.5 by sportsbooks in Vegas - a number which Aikman sees his ex-team doing 'much better' than. Still, he doesn't see them being truly competitive without Parsons in the lineup. 'I like what [coach] Brian Schottenheimer has shown in training camp and going into the year, and they've got some things that I like about the team in general,' he said. 'But without Micah Parsons, I just don't think they're gonna be able to slow anybody down. Aikman later added that he expects the Cowboys to get a deal done with Parsons, but admitted: 'I don't think anybody knows what Jerry [Jones] is ever gonna do,' as Parsons continues to be linked with a trade out of Dallas. While it's not exactly clear what Parsons is seeking contractually, he previously spoke about 'guaranteeing somebody almost $200million.' The defensive standout is negotiating for a new deal following big paydays for fellow pass rushers T.J. Watt and Myles Garrett, which will pay each of them at least $40million on average per year.

I don't think anybody knows what Jerry (Jones) is ever gonna do." 🏈🎙️ #NFL — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) August 19, 2025 And Aikman expressed on Monday that he believes Parsons' price will only go up the longer the Cowboys take to strike a deal with him. In a statement posted to social media, Parsons acknowledged that he and Jones previously discussed what he would want in his contract, but said he didn't believe it was a 'formal negotiation.' He added that the team has not had discussions with his agent, David Mulugheta, once about a deal. Jones, meanwhile, has previously downplayed Parsons' trade request and urged fans not to 'lose any sleep' over the situation. When asked whether he was considering Parsons' trade request, the Dallas owner said: 'I'm not. The facts are that I think the world of Micah, and that's just a part of negotiation. 'I don't place that with any real seriousness, Micah's got a bad back. That's like being traded, we all weight it the same.'

Cowboys icon Jimmy Johnson details 'cruel' punishment he inflicted on his players after humiliating loss
Cowboys icon Jimmy Johnson details 'cruel' punishment he inflicted on his players after humiliating loss READ MORE: Fans go wild for new Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Jimmy Johnson oversaw a highly-successful era for the Cowboys, but the former Dallas coach once inflicted a cruel punishment on his players following a loss. The two-time Super Bowl winner revealed in forthcoming Netflix docuseries 'America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys' that he once banned his players from eating on the team plane after a loss. 'After that loss, we get on the plane, and I am just fuming because of the way we played. So the flight attendant starts to serve the meal. And I say, "No, no meal. They don't deserve to eat",' Johnson recalled in a clip from the series, which is being released on Tuesday. The harsh moment clearly struck a nerve with ex-players even decades later as several stars ripped Johnson for the decision. 'We couldn't eat man, we were starving,' wide receiver Michael Irvin recalled. 'He was a dictator,' pass rusher Charles Haley added. 'He was a a******e, and he didn't care what guys thought about him.' Jimmy Johnson ran a tight ship as the coach of the Dallas Cowboys from 1989-94 He explained in a new Netflix docuseries that he banned players from eating after one loss 'No meal. They don't deserve to eat.' This story of Jimmy Johnson not letting the Dallas Cowboys players eat on the plane after a loss is wild 😳 America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys drops August 19. — Netflix Sports (@netflixsports) August 18, 2025 For his part, Johnson explained why he chose to withhold the plane meal from his players. 'I wanted 'em to expect to win every single time they go out,' he said. I want 'em to be nauseated, to be sick in their stomach when they lose. Because, that's how I felt.' While Johnson may not have been well-liked by his players at times, his methods undoubtedly bred success. He posted a 44-36 regular season record in Dallas and - more importantly - won consecutive Super Bowls in 1993 and 1994. Johnson later spent four seasons coaching the Dolphins (who he led to three postseason appearances) and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020. The Cowboys added another Super Bowl in 1996 under coach Barry Switzer following Johnson's departure after the 1993 season, but have struggled in the postseason since. In fact, the team has won just five playoff games since their most recent Super Bowl win. Aside from Johnson, Irvin and Haley, the highly-anticipated 'America's Team' also features interviews with Troy Aikman , Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders and more.
