After Dak Prescott was finally signed at the eleventh hour right before the 2024 regular season kicked off, Micah Parsons has found himself in the same boat.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">With that said, there are still positive vibes around the organization. Parsons&#8217; prank call on Brian Schottenehimer all but confirmed there&#8217;s no bad blood between Dallas and Parsons. With other defensive stars held out of minicamp, Parsons made sure to attend.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Now, ESPN insider Adam Schefter is feeling confident that Parsons will receive a groundbreaking extension with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"scroll-mt-24 my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Adam Schefter says Parsons to be highest-paid defensive player in NFL history<\/h2>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">In a segment on\u00a0ESPN&#8217;s &#8220;Get Up,&#8221;\u00a0Schefter said there have been positive conversations in the organization surrounding Parsons and a booming contract.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"border-lightGrey my-f-1\">\n<div class=\"italic text-black text-center font-group-large\">&#8220;There&#8217;s been positive conversations throughout the offseason, so much so that people believe that a deal will get done for Micah Parsons at some point this summer, and when it does get done, it is expected to make him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. &#8220;<\/div>\n<p><cite class=\"font-bold text-sm md:text-base block text-grey text-center\">Adam Schefter<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SCHEFTY&#039;S SUMMER STORIES \u2600\ufe0f Cowboys&#039; ceiling, Bengals&#039; negotiations, Giants QB room &amp; MORE | Get Up\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IVHoeGrQkk4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some of the biggest pass rushers in the game are looking to get paid before the 2025 season. Browns superstar\u00a0Myles Garrett has already signed for a whopping $40 million per year\u00a0and $88.8 million in fully guaranteed money, That set the market for the likes of Trey Hendrickson and T.J Watt.\u00a0Garrett even went on the record to defend Parsons\u00a0amid his contract standoff.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">As one of the best defensive players in the league that creates havoc even amidst double- and triple-teams, Parsons becoming the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history would be well deserved. He is one of just two players ever to record 12 or more sacks in each of their first four seasons. The late Reggie White, one of the best pass rushers to ever play the game, is the other.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Why Jerry Jones refuses to get this over with remains to be seen (maybe for the attention), but signing Parsons to a record-breaking contract would send a message to the rest of the NFL that Dallas intends to contend for a Super Bowl with this current core.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">The next step is getting this done by the start of training camp so Parsons is on the field with the rest of his Cowboys teammates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a long time coming.
