CowboysCountry.com has the scoop on what’s going on between Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys at the moment – and why what’s going on is “nothing.”<\/p>\n
FRISCO – There exists a\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0inevitability here.<\/p>\n
Micah Parsons will be a “Cowboy for Life.” Sometime between now and the start of the 2025\u00a0NFL\u00a0regular season, he will sign a contract with “America’s Team” that will pay him in the range of $40 million per season. It might be a four-year deal, or maybe a five-year deal.<\/p>\n
And Parsons will experience another stellar season capped by a Pro Bowl berth.<\/p>\n
But first? Another inevitability … and one that is irritating\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0fans.<\/p>\n
Yes, “it takes two to tango.”<\/p>\n
But we have the scoop on what’s going on at the moment – and why what’s going on is “nothing.”<\/p>\n
This offseason, Jerry and Stephen Jones obviously shifted into a different gear from where this franchise was a year ago.<\/p>\n
No, the Cowboys’ 82-year-old owner didn’t go “wildcattin”’ as was the case decades ago.<\/p>\n
But entering the 2024 season, Dallas let 11 starters\/rotational players leave via free agency … and barely lifted a finger to replace them.<\/p>\n
And they did so, by the way, on the heels of Jerry announcing theatrically that the franchise was “all in” on chasing a title.<\/p>\n
It was – much to the chagrin of Cowboys Nation – empty gibberish.<\/p>\n
The Dallas front office wasn’t “all in” in any traditional sense.<\/p>\n
“Mail it in” is more like it.<\/p>\n
Fast-forward to this offseason … and yes, there is a different “all-in” flavor.<\/p>\n
Dallas has acquired a dozen veterans, most with starter credentials. The Cowboys made four trades, capped by a successful plan to land a No. 2 receiver to complement star\u00a0CeeDee Lamb resulting in George Pickens rolling into town.<\/p>\n
But something is missing.<\/p>\n
A source tells CowboysCountry.com that while the Joneses and Parsons spoke face-to-face at least three times, with the parties hovering around the idea of a five-year, $200 million contract that would make Parsons one of the highest-paid players in NFL history … the Joneses have yet to make official follow-up contact with agent David Mulugheta.<\/p>\n
One key here: The player can talk contract with a team official; that’s CBA-legal. But once the player informs the team that it must go through the agent?<\/p>\n
