Jones claimed he also offered Parsons a record -breaking deal, but when Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, was asked about it on ESPN’s “First Take,” he said it was a “loaded question.”
Mulugheta confirmed that Cowboys offered Parsons an agreement where his average annual value would have been $ 40.5 million, “which would have made him at that time from an APY (average per year) point of view, the highest paid.”
But he would not have been paid as the highest paid player in the NFL in the first three years the structure was, the agent claimed.
“The devil is in the details,” Mulugheta added.

Mulugheta also seemed to suggest that Parsons’ guaranteed money with Dallas would only have been for the first year.
“If you look at many of these contracts that Cowboys have done in the last few years … Guarantors do not extend much further than the first new year. If you look at Micah’s current deal, he has guarantees four years from now,” he said.
“Micah would be a cowboy. He grew up cheering on cowboys, bare the blue and white in the Penn State, carried it for the cowboys, he would be a cowboy, and we did everything we could for him to remain a cowboy, … there are certain things that have been put out in the media to make it look like Micah turned into a fairness or a great deal, but it the case. “
