A week ago, Chris Broussard had an interesting take on the Dallas Cowboys’ offseason. Broussard had claimed that the owner, Jerry Jones, creates unintentional drama to remain atop media headlines, which in turn has led to the contract standoff with Micah Parsons.

Quarterback-turner-sportscaster and analyst Dan Orlovsky had a different outlook. The critic claimed that the personal conflict between the player and the owner might be the reason behind the dragging contract extension and the latest developments.

I go back to, why is he talking about Micah this way? Why did he make the comment ‘even if I sign him, he might not be there’? He didn’t do that to Dak, and he didn’t do that to Ceedee…It feels different and the easiest. This one is a bigger problem because there is a remnant of personal dislike.

Dan Orlovsky said on First Take

The suggestions made by Dan Orlovsky tracked with what Micah Parsons claimed in his lengthy write-up after requesting the team for a trade. In the 1000-word note, Parsons acknowledged that the team and the management had personally disrespected him as well as his agent.

I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization our fans and my teammates. teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me.

Dan Orlovsky had another blunt take about Jerry Jones on Get Up

The “America’s Team” moniker is no longer an admired one for the Cowboys, it is scrutinized every other offseason or botched playoffs. However, Dan Orlovsky felt that the team has never been under so much pressure or tackled a bigger problem since the 1990s.

On Get Up, Orlovsky claimed that the Cowboys never had a player who said that he didn’t want to perform in their colors anymore.

I think it’s the biggest problem Jerry Jones has had since the ’90s. When was the last time a player said, ‘I don’t want to play for the Cowboys’? Every player says, ‘I want to play for the Cowboys.’ Now one of their most outspoken players, one of their best players, has publicly said, ‘I don’t wanna play here anymore’ and it’s because of the way that I’ve been talked about or my contract has been talked about.

The last problem of the magnitude, as Orlovsky claimed, happened in the 90s. He’s most likely alluding to the family feud between Jerry Jones and head coach Jimmy Johnson. Though the pair delivered back-to-back Super Bowl victories in the 1990s, their relationship deteriorated over who deserved credit for building the dynasty.

The fallout was highly public and symbolic of Jones’ larger-than-life presence as an owner. At the time, he was also battling the NFL over exclusive marketing rights, even taking legal action against the league.

Orlovsky also disputed the idea of the Dallas Cowboys being a good team where players are treated right with high salaries and better post-career lives. As the critic claimed, the Parsons drama has become one of the highly publicized events in the offseason and the biggest problem for the business mogul. The trade single-handedly is not the reason; Jones has been on the receiving end of hatred for the lack of a championship and a business-first mentality.
