The last few weeks have been full of confusion. LB Micah Parsons requested the Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to become aggressive in the free agency and the 2025 draft. Since then, many analysts claimed that the linebacker could be on the way out via a trade. It looked like it could happen—after all, no one questions or pushes Jerry Jones in his house. But hold your horses! The owner-and-GM’s son and Cowboys director of player personnel, Stephen Jones, has thrown a pleasant surprise.
During a February 23 interview with The Dallas Morning News, Jones claimed that they are ready to sit down on negotiation table with the LB. He said, “I don’t know the exact timing of that, so I don’t want to get out over my skis there.” But when the interviewer asked if they would certainly hold extension talks, he replied in affirmative and added, “Oh yes.” That’s promising.
It comes against the backdrop of Jerry Jones & co’s comments that they will restructure QB Dak Prescott’s contract. To mitigate the league-high $89.8 million cap hit, they have converted the $42 million guaranteed 2025 salary into a signing bonus. That should clear up some space to give Parsons that one-year extension on his rookie contract and negotiate for more.
Stay tuned. This story is developing.
