Desperate situations provoke desperate reactions. Micah Parsons seems to understand that, as the Dallas Cowboys’ star linebacker has taken a direct shot at the team for failing to offer him a new contract.
Once again, the Cowboys find themselves in a tough financial position. Several key players are seeking new deals, and the heart of the defense doesn’t want to be left behind.
Parsons is still waiting for a contract extension from Dallas. But with negotiations reportedly stalled, the All-Pro pass rusher has sent a clear—and slightly threatening—message to the organization.

The star edge rusher became eligible for a contract extension in 2023. Many expected Dallas to act swiftly and secure him long-term, but as of now, no formal offer has been made.
Despite being one of the NFL’s top defenders, Parsons is still playing under his rookie contract. The Cowboys exercised his fifth-year option for 2025, but it’s clear he doesn’t want to play under that deal this season.
Frustrated by the lack of movement, Parsons has decided to speak up. With other top edge rushers like T.J. Watt and Trey Hendrickson also waiting on new deals, Parsons warned teams—and especially the Cowboys—about delaying talks.

“It’s going to cost them more,” Parsons told Clarence Hill of All City Dallas on Thursday.
Adding to the confusion, reports earlier this year claimed that Parsons and Jerry Jones had agreed to a new deal in March. However, Parsons later clarified that his agent had no knowledge of any such agreement, suggesting there may have been miscommunication or misdirection from the Cowboys’ front office.
