The Cowboys offered Micah Parsons a deal averaging $40.5 million a year, reports and his agent David Mulugheta confirmed. At the time when the contract extension was offered, Parsons would've been the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Since then, though, Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt signed an extension averaging $41 million a year. The market is always changing, and both Parsons and Mulugheta knew that. They wanted more bang for their buck.
