His past two have been the subject of daily discussion\u2014sometimes at nauseam.<\/p>\n<p>But things got done, even though many thought they took far longer than they needed to; however, Dak maintained his professional demeanor and made sure he was being the best possible leader for the franchise he could be.<\/p>\n<p>That is something that\u00a0Micah Parsons\u00a0is currently dealing with, as the &#8220;Lion&#8221; wants to be seen as a leader of the franchise, plus his contract situation, like Dak&#8217;s was, is daily headline news.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a Children\u2019s Cancer Fund event in Dallas, Prescott offered Micah some advice on being a leader and his contract situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Me and Micah have talked in the locker room,&#8221; Prescott said. &#8220;But very confident in that guy and what he can do, who he is and what he wants to is as important as anything, and that&#8217;s in being a leader. The contract, I don&#8217;t have the full answer for it, I thought all of mine would have been done a lot earlier than what they were.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So just stay positive, understand that his team knows what he wants and what he believes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a &#8220;new wave&#8221; of leaders now ushered through The Star&#8217;s doors, Parsons is looking to be the key figurehead, especially defensively, in 2025 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>In what will be a true test of Parsons&#8217; leadership qualities, is if a contract isn&#8217;t done by the time OTA&#8217;s begin, will he be in attendance? Considering a new scheme will have to be learned under Matt Eberflus.<\/p>\n<p>That is the big question, and perhaps a $40 million one.<\/p>\n<p>Micah wants a new contract, but owner Jerry Jones stated at the annual league meeting that the pending new deal comes with certain non-negotiables and that Parsons will have to be the player he wants to be paid like.<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s no better person\/player to follow the lead of than Dak, who seems confident Micah will take everything in his stride as one of the new leaders of the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott knows more than most what Micah Parsons is currently going through.
