The Dallas Cowboys and star linebacker Micah Parsons are locked in a contract battle that has grabbed the attention of NFL fans. Parsons, the heart of the Cowboys’ defense, is growing frustrated with team owner Jerry Jones as negotiations drag on. His recent social media post has only fueled speculation that he could soon push for a trade if his demands aren’t met.
Micah Parsons pushes for massive deal amid growing trade talk
Parsons is entering the final stretch of his five-year rookie contract and is expecting a massive raise. He reportedly wants to become one of the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in the NFL, aiming for a deal similar to Pittsburgh Steelers’ star T.J. Watt. According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the linebacker is prepared to either request a trade or cut ties with the team if the Cowboys refuse to meet his price.The tension became public when Parsons posted a GIF captioned “one last time” on Thursday night, sparking trade rumors across social media. He has openly said he wants to remain in Dallas but also made it clear that the decision is in the front office’s hands. “I want to be here. I’ve always said I want to be here,” Parsons explained last week. “But at the end of the day, they sign the checks like always. Let’s see if they want me to be here.”
Cowboys’ history shows negotiations could drag
Cowboys fans have seen this play out before. Jerry and Stephen Jones are known for tough negotiations and often wait until the last moment to finalize deals with their star players. They used the same strategy with quarterback Dak Prescott, ultimately signing him to a huge extension after months of uncertainty.The Cowboys could be cautious about giving Parsons a long-term deal because of injury concerns, which have burned them in the past. But unless a team offers a blockbuster trade package, Dallas is unlikely to let its defensive anchor go. Parsons is too valuable to their Super Bowl hopes, and history suggests the Cowboys will eventually get a deal done.Also Read: Micah Parsons’ intensifying contract dispute puts Dallas Cowboys in crucial decision-making momentFor now, all eyes remain on Micah Parsons.
