Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys’ defensive superstar, has become the center of attention — not just for his dominance on the field, but for the mysterious silence surrounding his contract negotiations. When asked about the process, Parsons simply replied: “Nah, next question” — a blunt yet telling response.

🤐 Silence with a Purpose
Parsons later clarified that he won’t be involved in any negotiations without his agent, David Mulugheta. On social media, he stated:
“David is the best agent, and I will not be doing any deal without him.”
This shows that Parsons is taking a firm stance: he fully trusts his agent and wants no part in backdoor negotiations — something the Cowboys have been accused of attempting in past contract situations.
🧓 Cowboys and Their Habit of Delay
As for the Cowboys, Executive VP Stephen Jones responded with his usual vague approach:
“I’ll let you know when it happens.”
Dallas has a history of dragging its feet in contract talks — notably with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb — often ending up paying more because of delays. Now, it appears they may be making the same mistake with Parsons.
💣 Backlash From Media and Fans
The Cowboys’ delay — and Parsons’ refusal to speak — has sparked strong reactions from analysts. Chris Broussard, veteran commentator at Fox Sports, bluntly called Jerry Jones’ handling of the matter:
“Idiotic.”
Meanwhile, Shannon Sharpe, Hall of Fame tight end, accused Jones of trying to “circumvent” Parsons’ agent and conduct shady backroom talks — behavior seen as unprofessional and disrespectful to players.

💸 Is It About the Money?
Some sources suggest the Cowboys have already offered Parsons the biggest contract in NFL history for a non-quarterback, but it still reportedly falls short of Dak Prescott’s deal — something that may not sit well with Parsons. With the market for edge rushers surging — after major deals for players like T.J. Watt and Nick Bosa — any delay could cost Dallas millions more in the near future.
🕑 What Happens Next?
If talks don’t progress soon, Parsons could skip training camp, just like CeeDee Lamb did last year. That would not only hurt team preparation, but could also strain the relationship between one of their franchise cornerstones and the front office.
📌 Final Thoughts
The Cowboys are standing at a critical crossroads. They can either act now, show good faith, and lock in one of the NFL’s most dominant defenders, or continue stalling — and risk paying more later, or worse, damaging trust beyond repair. With his strong personality and clear boundaries, Micah Parsons isn’t going to budge — and the Cowboys would be wise not to push him.
