\"Donovan<\/p>\n

The Dallas Cowboys opened their 2025 mandatory minicamp Tuesday in Frisco, Texas, and four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Micah Parsons, the 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, was there \u2014 even though he remains without a contract extension.<\/p>\n

Parsons, however, told ESPN that he may sit out the Cowboys\u2019 training camp that starts on July 25 in Oxnard, California, if the team fails to give him a new contract by then.<\/p>\n

Parsons\u2019 presence, and his ongoing contract dispute, overshadowed most everything else to come out of the Dallas minicamp on Tuesday, the first day of the three-day session.<\/p>\n

But with much less fanfare, there was another player locked in a contract impasse with the team, who took part in the minicamp.<\/p>\n

One Last Cowboys Draft Pick Without a Contract<\/h2>\n

Cowboys\u2019 second-round pick, highly-regarded former Boston College edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku, remains the last member of the Cowboys\u2019 2025 draft class\u00a0without a signed contract. All eight other rookies drafted by Dallas have already signed on the dotted line.<\/p>\n

The issue is not money. The value of rookie contracts is predetermined by draft slot under the NFL\u2019s collective bargaining agreement.<\/p>\n

According to the sports\u00a0business site\u00a0Spotrac, the 21-year-old from Williamstown, New Jersey, will receive a contract worth $10,144,808. With a signing bonus of $4,018,041, the four-year deal carries an average annual value of $2,536,202.<\/p>\n

His paycheck is all very clear cut. So what\u2019s the issue? Why hasn\u2019t the 2024 first-team All-American finalized his deal with the Cowboys, especially when every other Dallas rookie has already done so?<\/p>\n

The Dallas Morning News on Tuesday revealed the reason \u2014 and it is the same reason that no other second-round pick in the NFL has signed yet either.<\/p>\n

Except for two.<\/p>\n

Browns, Texans, Throw Second Round Into Chaos<\/h2>\n

\u201cOf the 32 players picked in the second round, just two have signed: Cleveland linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston receiver Jayden Higgins. Both received fully guaranteed contracts. Higgins, picked second in the second round, was the first player selected in that round to sign a fully guaranteed contract in league history,\u201d the\u00a0Morning News<\/em>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgents of clients picked in the second round are seeking fully guaranteed contracts,\u201d the paper\u2019s report revealed. \u201cTwo people with knowledge of the contract confirmed to\u00a0The Dallas Morning News that\u2019s also the holdup with Ezeiruaku\u2019s deal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

#Cowboys Donovan Ezeiruaku just looks like the part. All the potential is there. Twitch, speed, bend, everything.<\/p>\n

September can\u2019t come any sooner.<\/p>\n

(\ud83c\udfa5: @CoachBTJordan on IG)<\/p>\n

The Morning News report appeared to confirm speculation by Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, who wrote, \u201cother teams don\u2019t want to follow the Browns\u2019 and Texans\u2019 lead and give fully guaranteed contracts to second-round picks. And agents are asking those teams, if other second-round picks are getting fully guaranteed contracts, why should my player take anything less?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In other words, Cowboys fans blaming team owner and effective general manager Jerry Jones for the second-rounder\u2019s contract issues should blame the Browns and Texans instead.<\/p>\n

Should the team and its fan base be worried that last season\u2019s Ted Hendricks Award winner as college football\u2019s best defensive end will end up not playing for the Cowboys after all?<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t look that way. Especially because Ezeiruaku himself appears unworried.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here doing what I have to do here every single day. That\u2019s between the organization and my agent,\u201d Ezeiruaku told the Dallas paper. \u201cI have full faith they\u2019re going to get that done. When it\u2019s ready, it\u2019s going to be ready and I\u2019ll sign that piece of paper. Other than that, until then, I\u2019m doing what I have to do here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
