Micah Parsons had never planned to skip this season and would have played for Dallas Cowboys during the regular season opening match Thursday against the Philadelphia Eagles if he had not been exchanged to Green Bay Packers last week, his agent David Mulugheta said on Tuesday on ESPN.
Mulugheta said the cowboys had never been informed that Parsons would not play.
“Never,” insisted Mulugheta. “Micah loves this sport too much. He was going to play whatever happened. »»
In fact, Mulugheta said that the first choice of Parsons had always been to stay in Dallas.
“I think the most important thing is that Micah wanted to be a cowboy,” said Mulugheta. “He grew up by encouraging the cowboys, he wore the blue and white jersey in Penn State, he wore it in the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys. He wanted to be a cowboy, and we did our best to remain a cowboy. »»
In a contractual impasse with his star player, the cowboys swapped in parsons in return of two first round choices and the defensive league player Kenny Clark. They then offered an extension of the four -year contract worth $ 188 million.
