The Dallas Cowboys are preparing to bounce back from their disappointing 2023 postseason finish. Dallas is revamping their roster in hopes of an improved run, but they also look to keep some of their contributors around long-term. One such player is Micah Parsons, whose contract situation has received an eye-opening update amid negotiations.
In addition Parsons, the Cowboys have important decisions to make on the futures of Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb.
Prescott and Lamb are entering the final year of their contracts and want to get an extension done sooner rather than later. On the other hand, Parsons is locked up through 2025 on a fifth-year option. Moreover, the Cowboys can use a franchise tag on the star linebacker in 2026. Thus, Parson’s contract extension is the likeliest to be on the back burner, per ESPN’s NFL Nation team.
Still, Dallas values Parsons, and his there years of production show why the Cowboys need him to keep their defense afloat.
Micah Parsons joined the team in 2021 when the organization selected him with the 12 overall pick in the spring draft. The former Penn State Nittany Lion had an incredible rookie season. He garnered 84 total tackles, 13 sacks, and three forced fumbles. As a result, Parson earned his first All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.
