Parsons Contract Talks Highlight Cowboys' Defensive Future

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is entering the final year of his contract and is negotiating an extension with the team, which now faces the departures of defensive leaders Jourdan Lewis and DeMarcus Lawrence. Despite uncertainty, Parsons has participated in voluntary offseason workouts, underscoring his commitment to the team. Quarterback Dak Prescott, who recently completed his own contract negotiations, advised Parsons to remain positive and clear about his priorities. Owner Jerry Jones recognized Parsons’ leadership and the negotiation's complexity, stating that a direct agreement is necessary. Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, remains central to finalizing any deal. The outcome of Parsons' contract talks is expected to influence the Cowboys’ defensive direction for the 2025 season.
