Last week, Micah Parsons joined The Undertaker for an interview—yes, that Undertaker and couldn’t resist tossing a subtle jab at the Cowboys‘ front office. “Ownership is always going (to) make it drag out, make it more complicated than it has to be,” the 26-year-old pass rusher said, clearly hinting at the contract limbo he’s still stuck in. While guys like T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, and Maxx Crosby have already locked in their monster deals, Parsons isn’t panicking.
He didn’t even expect an extension before training camp—and honestly, he’s cool with it. And logic tracks. Parsons knows what he brings to the table—elite production, Pro Bowl status, and serious face-of-the-franchise potential. So he’s betting on the bigger bag down the road. He knows that there’s going to be a pot of gold at some point. And who can argue with him?
The Cowboys are clearly getting a premium product on a rookie price tag, and Parsons seems just fine letting the clock tick while Dallas figures out how much that gold is really worth. But just when it felt like Parsons held all the leverage, Jerry Jones stepped in with a reality check—one that sounded less like a contract preview and more like a caution.
Jones randomly took a shot at Parsons and claimed that even if the Cowboys sign him, it doesn’t matter; they’ll have him. “Just because we signed him doesn’t mean we’re going to have him. He was hurt six games last year, seriously,” the Cowboys’ owner said, addressing his last year.
