Game by game in the last 4 seasons, Micah Parsons has piled up 52.5 sacks, which places him sixth, per CBS, all-time among players in their first four campaigns. A defensive wrecking ball, he’s the only player ever with 12+ sacks in each of his first four seasons. On the field, Parsons is elite. Off the field, he never shies away from speaking his mind, no matter the situation. He openly called out the Cowboys’ owner, Jerry Jones, for going slow in the free agency, requesting to “be aggressive” while taking actions to build the team. And one of the offseason actions is definitely his contract, which is still pending.

Turning heads with his approach to the situation, he posted photos from the practice in Frisco with the Cowboys’ owner on his Instagram. In the first picture, he is seen standing with open arms with a lush green background, embracing the love for the game. Then, next in the carousel, he surprised fans, sharing a picture with the owner.

The caption was also befitting, “God’s timing is perfect even when it feels delayed.🦁🙏🏾👑 #lionsalwayshungry #year5” It all comes on the backdrop of his commitment to his team.

Micah Parsons would have signed an extension a long time back, but there are 2 major issues. First is the rising contracts. The Cowboys player is looking to surpass the Browns’ DE Myles Garrett, who signed a 4-year, $160 million deal. That translates to a $40 million AAV.

Now, Jones would have signed the deal, but there comes a personal dilemma. The owner is known to negotiate the deals with the players personally. He is not a big fan of involving the agents. In this scenario, Parons’ agent, David Mulugheta, is the man in charge, ready to have a word with the 82YO.

But, as per reports, Jones wants to have a straight talk with the defensive stalwart instead of going around his agent. By the looks of it and the lengthy discussion they had during the minicamp, something might be on the table pretty soon.

What’s your perspective on:

Will Jerry Jones finally secure Micah Parsons' future, or is Dallas risking losing a defensive gem?

Have an interesting take?

Nevertheless, it was a delightful day for the fans, as Miach Parsons turned up for the minicamp.

Micah Parsons shines at Minicamp

Micah Parsons just closed out Cowboys minicamp like a man who knows exactly what’s at stake and exactly who holds the pen. On Tuesday, he skipped drills to jaw with Jerry Jones under the Texas sun, and went half‑speed in individual work Wednesday. He then punched the clock as a full walkthrough participant on Thursday.

While it reveals more about his commitment to his teammates, it also brings the defensive captain in charge. He wasn’t shadowing on the sidelines. He locked himself in, working technique, and getting reps in the trenches. But when it came time for full team drills? He respectfully sat those out. Hmm…feels like a strategic half-measure!

On Thursday, Parsons fully involved himself in the walkthrough. He made it clear, verbally and physically, that he’s not holding out on this team. He finished minicamp the way he entered it, leading from the front, but on his terms. Interestingly, it also made it clear that he wants to stay with the team. But when will the financial matters get sorted? That is the biggest question in Dallas!
