Micah Parsons is absent as the Dallas Cowboys continue a second week of OTAs. The standout pass rusher was in attendance last week as the two sides continue to work toward a new contract. Parsons has been one of the more impactful defensive players in the NFL during his first four seasons, amassing 52 sacks in his first 63 games, including 12 in 13 contests during the 2024 campaign.
Uncertainty about his future remains as he's slated to earn just over $24 million on a fifth-year option but the market for elite talent has moved significantly in recent years and Parsons will seek to maximize his value. Though we're only in the first few days of June, preseason activities and the ramp-up to the season comes quickly and the Cowboys would very much like to get this resolved so they can benefit from Parsons's services.
