After months of struggle and back-and-fourth, the Dallas Cowboys finally extended its star players CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott’s contracts. The only one remaining is star linebacker Micah Parsons, who would be eligible after this 2024 regular season.
The Cowboys front office didn’t hold back from offering record-breaking money to Lamb and Prescott– making the former the second-highest-paid wide receiver and the latter the highest-paid quarterback in the league’s history. However, Parsons is optimistic about getting his contract soon and has no plans whatsoever of leaving Dallas.
In the recent episode of The Edge with Micah Parsons, the star linebacker addressed his contract situation with the Cowboys and what mindset he has moving forward. While admitting he is next in line for the huge payday, Parsons revealed it is not his priority right now as he is focused on ending Dallas’ Super Bowl drought.
I know I’m going to be a Cowboy. There’s nothing like Cowboy Nation. I think the love is very mutual. As for me, I’m just focused on winning games. I want to win those big games. I want to win those playoff games, get to the Super Bowl. For me, the contract is not really what I’m worried about. It’s just me being the best player that I can be for my guys, for my teammates.Micah Parsons said
Taking a page from Prescott’s handbook on the contract negotiations, Parsons claimed if the contract was to happen, it would happen anyway. Since it’s not in his control, he would rather focus on becoming legendary and leading the Cowboys to the ultimate Super Bowl glory.
Micah Parsons congratulates Dak Prescott on historic contract extension
While talking about the contract situations, Parsons addressed the mammoth deal signed by a three-time Pro Bowler quarterback surpassing all prior records. He congratulated his teammate for becoming the highest-paid quarterback in the league’s history with an annual earning of $60 million.
Highest paid player ever in NFL history, numbers, guarantees anything you can imagine. Dak is that guy. No BS, he deserves everything that he gets. So congratulations Dak Prescott you are one of the ones, no one deserves it like you do.Micah Parsons added
He further admitted having his “jaw dropped” upon hearing the terms of Prescott’s contract and joked that he would never be broke if the quarterback owed him money. In terms of his deal, he is anticipated to become the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL, dethroning San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa with his $34 million per year deal.
