Jerry Jones stripping Cedrick Wilson of jersey number to give to Micah Parsons
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to make first-round pick Micah Parsons happy. So much so, in fact, that he’s pretty much yanking a current player’s jersey number for him.
Parsons wore No. 11 as a star linebacker at Penn State, and he signaled his desire to wear it again in the NFL after the Cowboys selected him 12th overall on Thursday. The number is already held by wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, but it’s not unusual for rookies to negotiate with veterans for jersey numbers.
On Friday, Jones stepped into the matter himself, suggesting that there wouldn’t even need to be a negotiation.
