This year that man is edge rusher Micah Parsons, who is entering the last year of his contract and is looking for a big, shiny new one.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It has been the biggest item on Jerry Jones&#8217; agenda for quite a while, and yet the urgency is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_4\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Despite a lack of communication regarding Parsons&#8217; extension, he promised on X (formerly Twitter) that he&#8217;ll\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MicahhParsons11\/status\/1930063740806017532\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MicahhParsons11\/status\/1930063740806017532\" aria-label=\"be back on the field for mandatory minicamp - open in a new tab\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"\">be<\/a> back on the field for mandatory minicamp\u00a0next week.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">&#8220;I will be there!,&#8221; Parsons shared. &#8220;I haven\u2019t missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook ! I\u2019m preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it\u2019s in the owner\u2019s hands. I\u2019m ready to win a Super Bowl!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Cowboys star Micah Parsons vows to report for mandatory minicamp<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Since OTAs kicked off on May 19, Parsons has been absent. Questions have continued to be asked to head coach Brian Schottenheimer about his status. Schottenheimer has continued to maintain the narrative in his answers that Parsons and him have remained on good terms and he expects him to be at The Star for minicamp.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_5\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">For any Cowboys fans who are concerned Parsons would repeat CeeDee Lamb&#8217;s holdout, those worries have been squashed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The All-Pro edge rusher has been known to be pretty active on social media when responding to certain things, but his message was a bit surprising considering how players have held out when looking for a new contract in Dallas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Last offseason the Cowboys had to give new contracts to both Lamb and Dak Prescott. Lamb held out all of voluntary workouts, mandatory minicamp and training camp. Two weeks before the opener, he got a big new contract. While Prescott did not hold out, his new contract did not get done until the morning of opening day.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Since that mess unfolded last year, you can&#8217;t help but wonder if Parsons will get the same treatment. The Cowboys have been notorious for waiting until the last minute to do new contracts for their most important players. Fortunately, Parsons took to social media to assure the fans he will be on the field this offseason getting ready for 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">While negotiations are at a standstill and very little has been disclosed by Jerry or Stephen Jones, the fact Parsons will be at the team&#8217;s mandatory minicamp is a great sign. He knows he is one of the most influential leaders in that locker room and he wants to set the tone early for a team looking to bounce back after a rough season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_d_1_7\" class=\"mm-slot-content\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">With Parsons being at minicamp and in the facility, it would also give the front office more opportunities to talk with him about negotiating his deal.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">While Prescott and Lamb are A-list pieces, Parsons is probably the best player on the team and a top five defensive player in the league.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelandryhat.com\/micah-parsons-on-cusp-claiming-title-cowboys-fans-know-he-deserves\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/thelandryhat.com\/micah-parsons-on-cusp-claiming-title-cowboys-fans-know-he-deserves\">Some believe his on his way to becoming the best pass rusher of his era<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It remains ridiculous that his contract isn&#8217;t done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This should quiet any talk of Parsons&#8217; leadership ability.
