However, the Cowboys need to make their players happy, and with Micah Parsons still not signed to a long-term extension, it doesn\u2019t make much sense. As one of the NFL\u2019s top edge rushers, Parsons has earned a contract that pays him like one.<\/p>\n<p>Predicting contracts around the NFL, Kurt Benkert, a former NFL quarterback, predicted that Parsons would land a $225 million deal on a Bleacher Report YouTube video.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGive me a five-year, $225 million contract\u2026 I think Micah Parsons is the best Dallas Cowboys football player, and he deserves to be paid like it,\u201d Benkert said . \u201cIf you can pay Dak Prescott $60 million a year, who is injury prone, you can pay Micah Parsons $45 million a year in his prime.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Will Micah Parsons Benefit From Being Patient<\/h2>\n<p>Looking at contract situations around the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys are one of the few remaining teams that still need to resolve something with their top player. However, Joel Corry of CBS Sports \u00a0believes that Parsons\u2019 waiting and the Cowboys\u2019 lack of urgency to get a deal done will ultimately help him in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood things come to those who wait will seemingly apply to Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appears to be following the same blueprint as last year when Dallas dragged its feet on signing wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and Prescott to new contracts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLamb didn\u2019t get his four-year, $136 million contract extension until August during the latter part of the preseason. Prescott\u2019s four-year, $240 million extension to become the NFL\u2019s first and only $60 million-per-year player didn\u2019t come until September, hours before Dallas\u2019 regular-season opener,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Jerry Jones has continued to do the wrong things for the Cowboys, and not giving Parsons as much money as he\u2019s looking for is one of them. He could wait until it\u2019s the exact time to give him a deal, but that price will only go up, and will only make his star player unhappy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Micah Parsons Has Helped Cowboys With Professionalism<\/h2>\n<p>When speaking to reporters about his contract situation, the Dallas Cowboys have been lucky that Parsons has been as professional as he\u2019s been.<\/p>\n<p>He hasn\u2019t threatened to sit out games, but he did say he wants a deal done before training camp.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons noted that players struggle if they don\u2019t practice during training camp, and the last thing he wants is for the Dallas Cowboys to get off to a slow start because of that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExtremely important,\u201d Parsons said, per BR . \u201cYou really see a lot of players struggle when guys aren\u2019t participating in camp, and they get off to slow starts. I don\u2019t want to get off to no slow start. I want to hit the ground running.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ball is in Jones\u2019 court now, and if he wants to win at the highest level, which always needs to be the case for a team of the Cowboys\u2019 status, extending Parsons has to be in his plans.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
