The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0had a good day on Sunday, Dec. 15, as star pass rusher\u00a0Micah Parsons<\/a>\u00a0led the squad to a convincing win over the\u00a0Carolina Panthers<\/a>, but major questions still loom over the franchise as the 2024 regular season draws near its end.<\/p>\n

Quarterback\u00a0Dak Prescott’s<\/a>\u00a0health and\u00a0Mike McCarthy’s<\/a> future as head coach are near the top of that list, but perhaps the most interesting question mark involves the trade rumors floating around Parsons.<\/p>\n

The outside linebacker is in the final year of his rookie contract and will look to get paid either via an extension from Dallas or when he becomes a free agent and hits the open market next March.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys can’t allow Parsons to leave for nothing, which means they either have to cave and pay the edge rusher the money he deserves, or they need to deal him for a big return before he can leave of his own accord in free agency.<\/p>\n
