Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons is set to attend the team’s mandatory minicamp next week but has hinted that his participation in the upcoming training camp in Oxnard, California, is contingent upon securing a contract extension. In a recent social media post, Parsons emphasized his commitment, stating, “I haven’t missed a minicamp in 4 years!” Despite not having finalized a new deal, he expressed readiness to engage with teammates and focus on the playbook to prepare for the start of the training camp, underscoring his desire to win a Super Bowl.
Although Parsons has taken part in some voluntary offseason activities, he has not participated in organized team activities and is expected to limit his on-field involvement during minicamp. After returning from a trip to Spain, he attended the team facility for photo day, showing his continuous engagement with the team. At just 25 years old, Parsons became eligible for a contract extension following the 2023 season and is currently in the final year of a contract that includes a $24 million fifth-year option. He is anticipated to negotiate a deal that exceeds Ja’Marr Chase’s annual average of $40.25 million, potentially making him the league’s highest-paid non-quarterback.
Parsons’ situation highlights the tension between contract negotiations and player participation, as he balances personal financial aspirations with his responsibilities to the team. Overall, while he is committed to his preparation, the outcome of his contract talks will heavily influence his future involvement with the Cowboys.
