Parsons missed 4 video games final 12 months, not six. However who’s counting?
“Contracts are 4, 5 years, OK? There’s lots of water underneath the bridge when you step on the market and do one thing within the first two or three,” Jones continued.
“You will get hit by a automobile, severely. So there’s so much to take a look at over lots of years that might make an enormous distinction. Have you ever ever heard of any golf equipment committing to gamers after which they did not pan out after they dedicated to them? We’ve.”

One former participant did not like the way in which that Jones was speaking about his star duo. That participant being three-time Defensive Participant of the 12 months and future Corridor of Famer, J.J. Watt.
“Anytime you possibly can publicly take a dig at your star quarterback and your star cross rusher concurrently, proper earlier than the season begins, you simply gotta take it,” Watt wrote on X.
“Nothing makes guys wish to battle for you greater than listening to how upset you’re that they obtained damage whereas combating for you.”
Watt is true. There was completely no motive for Jones to go after his two star gamers. If they’ve any Tremendous Bowl aspirations in any respect, which offensive lineman Tyler Smith stated they firmly do, then they’re going to want each Prescott and Parsons to be enjoying their greatest ball.
Their proprietor publicly criticizing them proper earlier than the season begins is not serving to anybody.
