A day after DaVante Parker's agent called out Adam Gase for the handling of his player, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver seems to be trying to stay in good graces with the team.
Parker's agent called out Gase for not playing Parker on Sunday even though he evidently was healthy. Parker told reporter's he didn't give permission to his agent make those comments, nor does he agree with them.
“I don’t feel that way about coach,” Parker said, via Pro Football Talk.
Parker said he isn't going to fire his agent but it's something that he didn't want his agent to do. Parker's agent Jimmy Gould issued a statement to the Palm Beach Post via Pro Football Talk that his client is willing and ready to play.
“I am responding that coach Gase is not telling the truth and his decision was an example of poor management and cost the team the best opportunity to win,” Gould said. “He continues attacking the health of my client and that is not acceptable. Parker is not only healthy but wants to help this team win and the only real question that should be asked is how does coach Gase justify his own incompetence. The team averaged only 6.1 yards per catch. They needed Parker active. He is completely healthy and was in full participation all week and in warmups this morning. Something smells in Miami.”
Parker has fallen out of grace with the Dolphins in recent weeks. But with the injuries to Albert Wilson and Kenny Stills, the team will likely have to turn to their former first-round pick to play on Thursday against the Texans.
