During Bleacher Report's live stream of the 2025 NFL draft, Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons expressed great despair when the Carolina Panthers swiped away wideout Tetairoa McMillan with this year's eighth overall pick. He put his head in his hands, cursed under his breath, then exclaimed, "That was supposed to be our pick!"

Less than a full day after Washington Commanders wideout Terry McLaurin made waves with a trade request, Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher Micah Parsons took over the headlines with his own.

The familiar decay in negotiations shared an underlying theme inside the agent community, with reps alleging that Jones had a history of attempting to manipulate players into discounted deals.
