thanh275One week into their 2025 training camp, and the Dallas Cowboys are still without star pass rusher Micah Parsons, who is seeking a contract extension.
Parsons stated back tightness has kept him sidelined, but speculation grows that he’s trying to force Jerry Jones to act. From the way Jones responded to Parsons being absent, it doesn’t sound as though that’s going to work.
Jones, who heard chants of “Pay Micah” this week in Oxnard was asked about his star player. While he said he’s one of their most talented players ever, Jones added that Parsons is already getting paid.
Jones also stated that Parsons sitting out keeps him from risking an injury, which is a similar approach he used with CeeDee Lamb during negotiations in 2024. While Lamb actually held out, Jones said he felt no urgency since Lamb wouldn’t participate in the preseason anyway.
Despite the continued backlash from, and frustration voiced by the players, Jones seems intent on operating the same way with Parsons as he did with Lamb.
So buckle up Cowboys fans, we’re just getting started.
