Cowboys Negotiating Micah Parsons $200 Million Contract Extension

Dallas Cowboys' linebacker Micah Parsons is still in contract negotiations for a potential record-setting extension that would make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, with figures around $200 million over five years discussed. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones has expressed optimism about reaching an agreement but emphasized that such deals take time and no immediate resolution is expected. Parsons himself has refuted rumors of a handshake deal, indicating negotiations are ongoing without any finalized contract. Despite the delay, both Parsons and the Cowboys want him to remain with the team long-term, and he is expected to participate in training camp regardless of the contract status. The prolonged negotiation has caused some fan anxiety and speculation about trades, but the organization continues to prioritize securing Parsons' future with the team. Leadership roles within the locker room and Parsons' on-field performance underscore the importance of finalizing his contract soon to avoid distractions.
