He’s gonna set the market. One million more is a steal. If he plays out the 5th year he will get much more and signing him now lowers his cap hit this year. One million more gets him top pay for a year but if you wait then it’s only gonna cost more
My fear is they do nothing and let him play on 5th year option
He’s not gonna take less than Lamb got
And if he waits till next year Watt is gonna set the market and it’s gonna be much higher
Dallas is not "the best situation" of you want to win a championship. It's the sports franchise where players go to get paid.Really good article about Parsons and a new deal.
Agent's Take: Cowboys should call Micah Parsons' bluff with new deal soon before star seeks full market value
Dallas can't wait to sign Parsons as the bar will surely be raised for non-quarterbacks, particularly edge rushers, this offseason

Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons isn't shy about expressing his opinions. Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, who redefined the outside linebacker position, gave Parsons some unsolicited advice a couple of days ago. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year suggested that Parsons should focus more on football and less on podcasts.
Parsons, who is scheduled to make a fully guaranteed $24.007 million in 2025 on his fifth-year option, has had plenty to say about his contract. The 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year raised eyebrows last December by opening the door to taking a hometown discount. "I feel like you see a lot of times 'highest paid,' then we say they don't have weapons, or they don't have this," Parsons said. "So I would rather just be in the best situation, you know? At that point, I don't think there's a big difference between $30 million and $40 million in my eyes, you know? And that's just me talking."
The more time that passes without Parsons having a new contract in place as his peers get paid, the greater the chance that his frustrations with a lack of progress prompt him to seek his full market value. If this happens, it wouldn't be a surprise for Parsons to become the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback, whatever that may be.

Just give him 40 sheesh crack in already Jerry
You have to listen to mama!
I'm not sure any team would be that concerned with finalizing a contract before March 12 when the player still has a year on his contract
.....and waste potential months and days of this being discussed in the Sports media?
I’m a think ahead guy. If you aren’t gonna extend Micah you trade him now. You don’t let him plsy out and walk. If you are gonna extend him you do it now. Saves money and clears a few million in cap space. What frustrates me with Jerry is there never appears to be a plan. Just winging it
So true!!!!!
he doesn't need to read the OP, he'll just ask you for your thoughts
That is so true.
His agent won’t let him play on the 5th year option. He’s the guy that negotiated D. Watson’s deal with Cleveland. If his client’s efforts don’t warrant a contract with substantial guarantees Parson’s will never put on a Cowboys uniform again.
Well in this case the defensive player very well could be the best in football. The offensive guy not so much….
Nonsense!
