Parsons' Cowboys Contract Talks Face New Challenges

The Dallas Cowboys are negotiating a new contract with star pass rusher Micah Parsons, who is entering the final year of his rookie deal. Tensions have arisen as Cowboys owner Jerry Jones excluded Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, from discussions, which Parsons has publicly opposed. Despite this, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported a deal will likely be reached, making Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Robert Griffin III stirred controversy by suggesting Parsons should request a trade, especially in light of the Cowboys losing DeMarcus Lawrence. While Parsons will attend voluntary workouts, there is ongoing speculation about potential trades, which could impact the Cowboys' defense. The situation remains fluid amid the NFL's rising salary cap and market dynamics for top defensive players.
