The Dallas Cowboys are holding their Training Camp in Oxnard, California, fine-tuning every detail in preparation for what they hope will be a promising 2025 season. However, rumors and skepticism continue to swirl around the team. Some critics question the experience of new head coach Brian Schottenheimer and express doubts about the overall strength of the roster.
Despite the outside noise, the team continues to work hard in California. However, a major storyline surrounding the All-America Team is the unresolved contract situation with star linebacker Micah Parsons. So far, the Cowboys and Parsons have not been able to reach a long-term agreement, raising questions about his future with the franchise.
Even some Cowboys teammates have begun to speculate about Micah Parsons' future with the team. Quarterback Dak Prescottaddressed the situation during a media session, sharing his thoughts on the ongoing contract talks and what it could mean moving forward.
Dak Prescott over Micah Parson situation
One year ago, Dak Prescott was on the same situation as Micah Parson, he was under negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys. But yet without anything secure. Nevertheless, 12 days before the start of the new season, Prescott signed a extension deal for the next four years for 240 million.
Prescott met with the media during training camp and addressed the situation surrounding his teammate, who has reported to camp but is not participating in team practices. "He shows up, not just on the practice field and being focused, being the camaraderie, going to dinner. He's not just doing it to sign off and say 'Hey, Jerry Jones, look at me.' He wants to be out there practicing and honestly I'm glad he's not. He can't do that to himself." Said Prescott.
The quarterback of the All-America team also added that he is optimistic about a successful end of negotiations. "I don't know if there's a correct way to handle it, to be honest with you. I will say that I think he deserves to get paid. He should get paid and ultimately, going off the history from what I've seen, he will get paid. Hopefully it's sooner than later." Told Prescott.
Undeniably, Micah Parsons is one of the most pivotal players in Brian Schottenheimer's squad, and securing his presence for the upcoming season could be crucial to the Cowboys' success. His versatility and dominance on defense make him a game-changer and losing him could significantly impact the team's playoff hopes.
However, the star linebacker is reportedly seeking a contract that would make him the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL, potentially exceeding $200 million. Ideally, Parsons is aiming for a long-term deal, possibly stretching up to five years.
