“He missed 6 games!”: Jerry Jones publicly roasts Micah Parsons with wrong info

Micah Parsons didn’t even do anything. He just showed up to Cowboys training camp and Jerry Jones came out swinging. Not with a new contract offer, not with praise but with a random and incorrect roast.

The “six games” stat is wrong and fans aren’t letting Jerry get away with it

In the middle of Monday’s press conference, Jones dropped a line that had fans doing double takes: “Just because we sign him doesn’t mean we’re going to have him. He missed six games last year.”

Umm, huh?Except and this is important, Parsons didn’t miss six games. He missed four. And that slip-up, whether intentional or not, was loud. Loud enough that fans and reporters instantly called it out for what it was: either a negotiation tactic or a very public misquote at the worst time.Micah Parsons missed four games last season due to a high ankle sprain. That was his first notable injury since entering the NFL. Before that, the man was a literal ironman on the Cowboys’ defense.

So why did Jerry bump that number to six?

No one’s sure. Maybe he was rounding up. Maybe he wanted to make a subtle point about Parsons’ availability. Or maybe… just maybe… it was a sneaky way to start shaping public opinion before the team has to hand him $30+ million a year.

Spoiler: It backfired.
