When the Cowboys’ training camp started in Oxnard, California, the glaring question around the practice field was about Micah Parsons not joining the team. The real reason behind his absence on the day 1 reporting was, as we know, a delay in the contract extension by the Cowboys front office and Jerry Jones. That also resulted in fans fuming at Jerry Jones.
But while fans are showing anger for Micah, the real situation in the Cowboys’ headquarters is quite shocking. Earlier, the NFL experts and analysts were expecting that the franchise would sign Parsons after training camp, but they are not even close to getting it done. NFL insider Adam Schefter has reported on July 22 that the Cowboys are nowhere near re-signing Micah, while the deal is on the way.
But this ‘situation of dragging out’ the contract extension is not unfamiliar to any knowledgeable Cowboy, and the Cowboys’ No.4 Dak Prescott is one of them. Prescott was recently asked about the contract extension of Micah, and he reiterated the same behavior of the Cowboys’ front office on July 24.
Dak Prescott gets honest with Micah Parsons extension drama
On July 24, Jon Machota reported what Dak said about Micah’s current situation. The Cowboys quarterback said, “I mean, it’s an every-year conversation, whether it’s myself, Zack Martin, CeeDee Lamb, now Micah Parsons. It’s a part of it in a sense. Is it something that I wish any of us were going through? Absolutely not. But I think Micah’s doing a hell of a job with it being here.” In CeeDee and Prescott’s case, the same waiting saga was going on. The wait then eventually culminated in a contract extension after the regular season started.
Dak also added, “He’s a great teammate, showing up, obviously not just on the field and being focused, but whether it be in the camaraderie, hanging out, dinner. He’s not just doing it to sign off and say, ‘Hey, Jerry, 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. That’s the business of it. That’s the business of a holdout, so I do think he’s taken some great steps with being here.”

More on the Situation
And lastly, Prescott said, “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. I think he should get paid, and, ultimately, going off the history of what I’ve seen, he will get paid. Hopefully, it’s sooner than later.”
Well, no one knows when Jerry Jones and the front office will sign a contract extension with Parsons. But till then, let Micah focus and start pounding the opponents in the upcoming season, and let’s wait for him to become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.
