Cowboys offer Parson contract without agent involved.

I thought it was against league rules and punishable by fines and loosing draft picks.

Everything I read said that Jerry met with Micah directly and came up with numbers they both liked on term and dollar. The "details" are up to Stephen Jones + Micah's agent, so they are not saying any deal is imminent. The contract is not written or agreed upon, they just feel that they know that the key people (Jerry+Micah) have a mutual understanding on two of the meatiest portions of the agreement.

Yes, nothing remotely ‘illegal’ about it. Agents understandably aren’t fans of it but they’ll get over it.

Yeah, there are several players who serve as their own agents so this couldn't be "illegal." It could, however be, a man who hires himself as his own lawyer has a fool for a client.

Clubs are reminded that, under Article 48 of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement, an Offer Sheet, which may result in an NFL Player Contract, may only be negotiated with the player, if he is acting on his own behalf, or with the player's NFLPA certified agent. To be clear, Mr. Jackson is not currently represented by an NFLPA certified agent.
"Violation of this rule may result in disapproval of any Offer Sheet or resulting Player Contract entered into by Mr. Jackson and the new Club."

I have no idea who Mr. Jackson is but I’d have to guess that he is not a league certified agent.

Bobby Wagner is one. Feel free to refer to him as a fool. 😉

It was from a article about lamar Jackson negotiating his contract which he is allowed to do

Gotcha. The last sentence doesn’t appear to apply then. I’m curious as to why it was included.

Parsons has an agent. Jackson was his own agent = Jimmy messes everything up

Today

he Dallas Cowboys' search for a backup quarterback to Dak Prescotthas landed on Joe Milton III.

The Cowboys acquired Milton and a 2025 seventh-round pick (No. 217) from the New England Patriots for a 2025 fifth-round pick (No. 171) on Thursday.
