True to form, Jerry Jones has delayed until ridiculous limits a negotiation that we all know how it is going to end, and that of his star players on the Dallas Cowboys, the only one who does not have his contract situation resolved is Micah Parsons, and we all know that he is the one who has ‘the upper hand’.
That’s why Parsons is in no hurry, and given what is expected to happen, he would already be in a position to become a free agent at the end of the 2025 season, as the Cowboys will exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract and pay him around $21.5 million.
He would leave! Micah Parsons admits that he would not be part of the Dallas Cowboys if this happens
Parsons will sign a really lucrative second contract
The Cowboys are expected to immediately offer a second long-term contract after the 2025 campaign for Micah, and this will come with a really interesting figure.
What impact will George Pickens have on the Dallas Cowboys? | Speak
NFL expert Tom Pelissero recently spoke with Rich Eisen about the situation between the player and Jerry Jones’ team: “Micah, for his youth, even younger than Miles Garrett, obviously going into his second contract, is the player who is anticipated to exceed $40 million annually“.
However, Pelissero knows that the matter is still somehow moving slowly but surely: “Like everything else, the Cowboys don’t seem to be too far off from getting the deal done with Micah. This is just Jerry’s strategy… I think we have a pretty good idea of what the numbers are going to be,” he said.
Tony Romo is also confident
For his part, former Cowboys QB Tony Romo is also confident that Micah Parsons will eventually stay with the team and that he will receive a spectacular extension, and he told The Sun: “I think there’s a great chance for a contract extension for Parsons. The Cowboys aren’t willing to let great players go, so I think Micah will soon sign a long-term deal and both sides will be satisfied.”
The next few days will be crucial to the situation, which is sure to have a happy ending for both parties, as predicted by Pelissero and Romo, and just as the entire Cowboys Nation imagines.
