Micah Parsons Aiming to Become First $200 Million Defender With Cowboys Extension

Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal

Micah Parsons will enter the final season of his rookie contract later this year, and the Dallas Cowboys still have not gotten an extension done with the superstar defender. When the franchise finally does, it may be a very pricey one.

On Friday, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reported Parsons aims to make NFL history with his contract extension and will ask to become the NFL’s first $200 million defender. Should he successfully do so, Parsons would also become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

It would be a steep price for the Cowboys to pay, but Parsons has all the leverage. The three-time All-Pro is widely recognized as one of the best pass rushers in the NFL. Dallas’ front office, spearheaded by owner Jerry Jones and his family, is constantly proclaiming the team is contending for a championship. That means paying top dollar for top talents— and Parsons is, indeed, a top talent.

The Cowboys’ roster could get ludicrously expensive very quickly, regardless of whether Parsons succeeds in his quest to shatter records with his new deal. The team already has huge deals in place for CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott. If Jones wants to retain his hopes of winning a Super Bowl soon, Parsons must join them.
