It was good,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cI really have a lot of respect for Jerry. We have great conversations all the time. There\u2019s definitely a plan in place, but we\u2019ll just see how everything plays out. There\u2019s been no progress yet, but I\u2019m pretty confident that something will happen, so we\u2019ll see.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The highest-paid non-quarterback in football is San Francisco 49ers edge-rusher Nick Bosa at five years and $170 million with $88 million guaranteed, per Over the Cap.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons and his representation at Athletes First will likely be looking to set the market with a new extension and top that deal.<\/p>\n<p>The ex-Penn State star has been fantastic in four years, making four Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams while amassing 52.5 sacks, 112 quarterback hits and 256 tackles. He\u2019s certainly worthy of a massive contract.<\/p>\n<p>Although there hasn\u2019t been much headway on talks yet, that should change down the road as Dallas looks to keep its defensive cornerstone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who should be in line for a lucrative second contract, is quite pleased after hearing news of the NFL\u2019s salary cap increase&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":35812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Breaking: \ud83d\udea8 Micah Parsons Reacts to NFL\u2019s Salary Cap Boost\u2014What It Means for His Cowboys Future!
