Jerry Jones kept his word in recent months with the Dallas Cowboys by giving historic contract extensions to Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. However, he still has one pending matter: Micah Parsons.
After seeing how the Pittsburgh Steelers made T.J. Watt the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, the 26-year-old star won’t settle for anything less. $40 million per season is likely the main talking point, as well as how much he’ll demand in guaranteed money.
In fact, even though his desire is to win a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, Parsons has already requested a trade due to the stance Jones has taken in negotiations. Now, the story has a new and shocking chapter.
Will Micah Parsons get a contract extension from Cowboys?
Jerry Jones is confident that Micah Parsons will sign a contract extension with the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, the controversial owner said he could settle everything with a handshake, just like when he bought the team in 1989.
“I bought the Cowboys with a handshake. It took about 30 seconds. I gave the number, shook hands, the details we worked out later. Just so you understand the way that I communicate with people that I negotiate with. Let’s leave it at that. There’s no question that in the case of a player contract, you have to have it in writing. All parties do. We have a contract in writing yet we still are talking about renegotiating it. So much for that.”

Micah Parsons might not play for the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 against the Eagles. This was Jerry Jones’ response when asked if he was confident the player would be on the field in Philadelphia.
“Again, no. Absolutely not. A big part of that is his decision. How would I know that? I’m just saying. No, but I’m urgent. You all are getting what’s in the mind or what’s in the said. This is a good time. He’s subject matter. It’s what it is. We’ll work through it or we will not work through it.”
