Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons has been in the news recently after leaving the door open to join the Pittsburgh Steelers somewhere down the line.
The former first-round pick is from Harrisburg, PA, and played his college ball at Penn State.
This hometown reunion is extremely unlikely for a number of reasons. The Cowboys are going to pay Parsons every penny it takes to keep him in Dallas, and Parsons confessed he has ‘no interest in playing anywhere but with the Cowboys’.
Seeing Parsons don the black and gold would be a dream, but there’s a bigger story here that nobody is talking about.
Parsons is in line for a record-setting payday. After earning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors in his first season in 2021, the star edge defender has been a two-time First-Team All-Pro defender while earning Pro Bowl appearances in all three seasons. He also finished second in DPOY voting twice.
When Parsons inks his new deal, he ‘fully expects’ to be the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL — blowing by players who previously reset the market like WR Justin Jefferson and EDGE Nick Bosa.
