The messy fallout only continued from there when Jones rehashed past contract talks involving former Cowboys wideout Dez Bryant and Jay-Z — a five-year, $70 million contract extension in 2015 — drawing reactions from the receiver and Roc Nation Sports, the latter’s management company.

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.
