Since the moment\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0stepped onto the field as a rookie in a\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0uniform, the spotlight was on him\u2014and he didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

Now, four years later, he\u2019s a four-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro.<\/p>\n

Parsons has quickly become one of the best defenders in the league, with the stats to back it up. Now, it\u2019s time to pay him like it.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Dan Graziano\u00a0predicts that Micah Parsons will sign a record-breaking extension worth around $180 million, with $125 million guaranteed over four seasons.<\/p>\n

This deal would significantly raise the market for top-tier edge rushers, following Nick Bosa’s recent five-year, $170 million contract that reset the market. Parsons’ deal would represent roughly an $11 million increase from Bosa’s contract.<\/p>\n

The deal would not only make Parsons the highest defender in the league but it would also make him the highest-paid non quarterback in the league.<\/p>\n

Parsons who has 52.5 sacks and nine force fumbles in his career is certainly worth every penny; however,\u00a0Parsons did come out and say, “It would be nice to be surrounded by good players, players that will help me win championships, I\u2019ll say that. To me, having $40 million and being chipped every play and slid into three, four people, that doesn\u2019t sound too fun to me. So, to me, it\u2019s about keeping people that can make a difference.”<\/p>\n

Parsons is the exact kind of superstar any team dreams of. Not only does he elevate the players around him, but he\u2019s also more focused on signing and retaining other stars to win Super Bowls rather than chasing record-breaking contracts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
