Cowboys Struggle with Parsons' Record Contract Talks

The Dallas Cowboys are in high-stakes contract negotiations with star linebacker Micah Parsons, aiming to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Reports indicate that the Cowboys have offered Parsons a record-breaking deal surpassing the annual salaries of Myles Garrett and Ja'Marr Chase, although the absence of Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, complicates talks. Parsons' demand for a $200 million extension remains unresolved as the Cowboys face financial strains from large contracts for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. Despite these challenges, executive Stephen Jones remains optimistic about reaching an agreement, viewing Parsons as a cornerstone of their defense. Meanwhile, Parsons, who has invested in the Texas Ranchers Major League Pickleball team, continues to express his desire to stay with the Cowboys long-term.
