“What the hell is this”: Michael Irvin calls out Jerry Jones' double standards over Micah Parsons contract extension drama

Micah Parsons has been in a contract stalemate with the Dallas Cowboys. On Friday, the 4x Pro Bowler announced on social media that since things are not working out with the team, he is requesting a trade to find a new home.

On Saturday, former Cowboys star Michael Irvin shared his thoughts on Parsons' trade situation. The 3x Super Bowl champion called out owner Jerry Jones for the way he's handled contract negotiations with their star player.

"Those of you that have visited me here in the locker room and spent time with me here in the locker room have heard my thoughts on how they should handle this," Irvin said. "My mind starts right away just saying, 'Jerry, what the hell is this?' I told you guys this was going to happen. Micah Parsons came in with the right mindset. 'I want to be a Cowboy. I want to be here forever,' and Jerry should have taken hold of that and kept it going and got something done. "Now, what I'm hearing is and what Jerry's saying is I did talk with Micah and we thought we had a deal done and the Micah told him to talk to his agent and Jerry said, 'I thought I had a deal done.' Like come on Jerry. Jerry himself knows and has said to me, 'A deal is not done until the deal is done. We write pen to paper and you sign. A deal is not done until the deal is done.'" (TS- 0:30)
