The Cowboys have made it clear they still plan to sign Micah Parsons to a contract extension, but trade rumors will swirl until a deal gets done.

And that, in turn, led to a weekend of responses, including a wild thread involving Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, entertainment mogul Jay-Z, “Queen of Rap” Nicki Minaj, and former Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant. As strange as it sounds, those characters were all joined together by the contract standoff between Parsons and the Cowboys.

The Cowboys owner mentioned Jay-Z as an example while discussing why he doesn’t call agents in contract negotiations.
