Jerry Jones<\/strong>\u00a0continues to prove that his understanding of the phrase \u2018strike while the iron is hot\u2019 differs from others. The veteran Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager prefers to deal with players\u2019 contracts at his own pace, and it may cost him big time, as\u00a0Micah Parsons<\/strong>\u00a0is still without an extension.<\/p>\n The negotiations reportedly began a few weeks after the Super Bowl in February, and it\u2019s nearly the middle of June, and the star pass rusher is still waiting for a big check. Parsons is not the only one.<\/p>\n All-Pro edge rusher\u00a0Trey Hendrickson<\/strong>\u00a0announced that he will\u00a0not attend the Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 OTAs\u00a0or any preseason camp until he signs a new deal. Hendrickson\u2019s 43 sacks in three seasons make him one of the best in his position.<\/p>\n In Pittsburgh,\u00a0TJ Watt<\/strong>\u00a0is following the same route as Hendrickson. The former Defensive Player of the Year began his holdout this week and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future for a new deal.<\/p>\n Parsons is keeping an eye on what is taking place around the league and recently shared his thoughts with Cowboys beat writer\u00a0Clarence Hill Jr.<\/strong>\u00a0The 26-year-old hinted that if Watt and Hendrickson sign deals before him, then he will definitely demand more because he wants to be the highest-paid non-quarterback, a title currently\u00a0held by the Browns\u2019\u00a0Myles Garrett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s going to cost them more<\/em>.<\/p>\n Micah Parsons told Hill Jr. of\u00a0All City DLLS<\/em><\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
