Cowboys’ Micah Parsons gets $50 million contract update in pursuit of record | Sporting News

The Dallas Cowboys keep waiting.

Micah Parsons is due for a massive contract extension.

And theres no real doubt that Jerry Jones will agree to a deal eventually.

But right now, the Cowboys and Parsons seemingly havent come close to an agreement.

It all feels a bit silly.

Its almost like delaying the inevitable.

If there were any doubts about keeping Parsons long-term, the delay would be more understandable.

Maybe the real concern is the exact dollar figure, and on Wednesday, Pro Football Talks Mike Florio wrote that Parsons is arguably worth $50 million per year.

It stands to reason that Parsons should get much, much more.

The Cowboys already have giant contracts for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb on the books, so the amount they can pay Parsons isnt infinite.

But he deserves every single penny they can spare.

And whenever the day comes that a deal actually gets signed, the number next to Parsons name will be a gargantuan, record-setting one.
