Parsons Voices Frustration Over Contract, Injury

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons attended training camp in Oxnard, California, despite ongoing frustrations with stalled contract negotiations that could make him the highest-paid defender in NFL history. Parsons, entering the final year of his rookie deal, publicly expressed disappointment about the Cowboys' lack of communication but emphasized his commitment to the team. He is currently limited in practice due to back tightness, which he clarified is not a contract-related hold-in. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has not made a formal contract offer, though negotiations are expected to eventually make Parsons the top-paid non-quarterback. Parsons has stated he has no intention to hold out and remains focused on football. The Cowboys, led by new head coach Brian Schottenheimer, continue to face pressure to end their 29-year NFC Championship game drought.
