Micah Parsons is finally ready to make some money this season, but he wants and deserves more. With one year remaining on his rookie contract, it’s time for Parsons to get an extension. He has said he wants to get it done as soon as possible so he can focus on turning the Cowboys around this year.
The only problem is that he has yet to hear from the Dallas Cowboys.
He would leave! Micah Parsons admits that he would not be part of the Dallas Cowboys if this happens
According to the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys have not held contract talks with their star pass-rusher, but they usually begin negotiating with players when the draft combine begins.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to resolve Parsons’ contract first
While it’s great that the Cowboys have a certain way of doing things… they haven’t won a Super Bowl since before Parsons was born. When you have a player this good who wants to sign a contract, it probably wouldn’t hurt to work it out a week or two early.
Especially when he wants the team to get aggressive in free agency. While it may be more difficult to make the money stretch, the Cowboys are definitely a more attractive destination when they have Parsons. Or maybe he could take a pay cut if they were going to do something crazy like a trade for Myles Garrett.
But none of that happens if you don’t start talking to the guy. Inaction is not good for anyone.
The Cowboys selected Parsons with the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. He amassed 52.5 sacks and was selected to four Pro Bowls and two All-Pro in four seasons with the team. There’s no reason to delay paying this man. Unless you’re busy listening to his podcast.
