Cowboys, Micah Parsons Contract Talks Stall Ahead Season Opener

The contract negotiations between the Dallas Cowboys and star linebacker Micah Parsons remain at an impasse as the 2025 NFL season approaches, with no recent communication between the team and Parsons' agent. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones stated that the team has offered Parsons a record-setting deal that would make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, but Parsons' agent rejected the offer. Despite Parsons having requested a trade due to frustration over the stalled talks, head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed confidence that Parsons will play in the Week 1 opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the lack of progress and Parsons' trade request have raised concerns about his long-term future with the Cowboys. Fans have voiced frustration publicly over the team's inability to finalize the contract extension. Historically, the Cowboys have completed major contract deals late in the offseason, but this situation remains unresolved with the season kickoff imminent.
