Jane Slater of NFL Media reports that a contract extension between the Cowboys and star EDGE Micah Parsons is not done, despite rumors circulating on X.
In fact, Slater adds that “meaningful talks haven’t even begun yet” between the two parties.
Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is set to make $24.007 million in 2025 on his fifth-year option.
For what it’s worth, Parsons said in December he wasn’t necessarily prioritizing being the highest-paid defensive player and would prefer to have a deal wrapped up before training camp.
However, Myles Garrett moved the needle quite a bit for pass rushers this offseason after agreeing to a new contract that will pay him $40 million per year.
Parsons, 25, was the former No. 12 overall pick by the Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Penn State. He’s in the final year of a four-year, $17,079,792 rookie contract that included a $9,781,667 signing bonus.
Dallas exercised the fifth-year option for Parsons, and he’s slated to make $21.32 million guaranteed in 2025.
In 2024, Parsons appeared in 13 games for the Cowboys and recorded 43 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one pass deflection.
We’ll have more on Parsons as the news is available.
