The Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones, and Micah Parsons have been at odds for quite some time now. Contract negotiations have seemingly fallen apart to the point where Parsons wants out. The 26-year-old superstar is looking at becoming the next highest paid defensive player in NFL history, but it may be with a new team. That reality seems to grow more and more every day.
However, if he is traded, one team surely won’t be getting a phone call.
“Haven’t Been Chopped Liver” Jerry Jones Effectively Eliminates 1 Team In Micah Parsons Trade, Throws Them Under The Bus
There hasn’t been a Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl win since 1995. However, team owner Jerry Jones wants everyone to remember that the Buffalo Bills have had a much longer title drought:
The recently released Netflix docuseries about Jones’ ownership of the Cowboys has an episode dedicated to Dallas’ 29-year span without another Super Bowl championship. Throughout the drought, Jones has remained in control as the head of the front office in addition to his ownership duties.
In an exclusive interview with USA TODAY Sports’ Jarrett Bell, Jones flipped the script on his critics by throwing the Bills under the bus.
“How long has it been since Buffalo won the Super Bowl?” Jones said. “Buffalo hasn’t been chopped liver. They’re solid. They’re probably in the top third of the NFL.”
The Bills have won the AFC championship four times since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. All four of the titles were in consecutive years between 1990 and 1993. All four times, they lost the ensuing Super Bowl, including twice in a row against Jones’ Cowboys in Super Bowls 27 and 28 (following the 1992 and ’93 seasons, respectively).
Jones said he remains confident that his approach as Dallas’ head of personnel decisions will eventually lead to a championship.
“I just can’t get as convicted that the way we’re doing it, that our approach to trying to win a Super Bowl, that that needs to change,” Jones said. “I guess that’s why I’m so defensive.”
The Bills have won five straight AFC East titles, dating back to 2020, and haven’t won fewer than 11 games in a season over that stretch. However, Buffalo also hasn’t returned to a Super Bowl since that last AFC title in 1993. Four times in the last five years, they’ve fallen to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, including twice in the AFC title game.
If Parsons is in fact traded, you can cross Buffalo off the list of potential landing spots. Here is a look at Parsons’ stats so far in the NFL:
