But the point is we have had very good discussions and we&#8217;ve had real good meeting of the minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons celebrates a sack against the Las Vegas Raiders at AT&amp;T Stadium.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjEzNjA0NDI1MjI1MjE3ODg1\/usatsi_17343147.jpg\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys defensive end Micah Parsons celebrates a sack against the Las Vegas Raiders at AT&amp;T Stadium.\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"tml-image--attribution\">Jerome Miron-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>So that is another positive aspect of Micah&#8217;s contract talks.<\/p>\n<p>As our own Mike Fisher reported, we know that contract proposals have already been discussed, and now Parsons&#8217; contract is further ahead than Lamb&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-embed-card--list\">\n<div class=\"m-card--content\">\n<div class=\"m-card--static-link\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Again, we can take this with a grain of salt, as the Cowboys aren&#8217;t known for swiftly completing key contracts.
