Now the Cowboys are hopeful that head coach Brian Schottenheimer can lead them to success during the 2025 season. Dallas appears set to have one of their best players present as their training camp begins later today.<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network&#8217;s Ian Rapoport made a bold prediction about Micah Parsons ahead of Cowboys training camp, which kicks off on Monday.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI&#8217;m sure Micah Parsons will get paid, but it doesn&#8217;t seem like anything is imminent there,\u201d Rapoport said on Monday via Good Morning Football. \u201cThe\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0and Micah Parsons have had conversations surrounding a long-term contract extension. [It] would no doubt make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rapoport also confirmed that\u00a0Parsons is expected to be at Cowboys training camp\u00a0despite his ongoing contract talks with the team.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe Cowboys report today, expect Micah Parsons to be there,\u201d Rapoport added. \u201cNo surprise, everyone has known for months that Parsons will be there. Will be on time, will be with his team. In fact, he is content to wait. We have seen several big-name edge players get paid this offseason from Myles Garrett, now T.J. Watt the latest [at] $41 million per year. Micah Parsons is set to make likely more than them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rapoport also suggested that Lions star Aidan Hutchinson could be the next edge rusher to get paid. If that happens before Parsons get a new deal, he&#8217;ll be in for even more money.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cBecause Parsons is at the top of the market, he is fine waiting,\u201d Rapoport concluded. \u201cHe knows his money is coming, he has already earned it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It still remains to be seen how much Parsons participates at practice without a long-term contract.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tyler Smith sends clear message amid Cowboys contract uncertainty<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3455329\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3455329\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3455329\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tyler-Smith.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tyler-Smith.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tyler-Smith.jpg?resize=300,168 300w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tyler-Smith.jpg?resize=768,431 768w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tyler-Smith.jpg?resize=1024,574 1024w, https:\/\/wp.clutchpoints.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Tyler-Smith.jpg?resize=150,84 150w\" alt=\"Dallas Cowboys guard Tyler Smith (73) goes through a drill during practice at the Ford Center at the Star Training Facility in Frisco, Texas.\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3455329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Jones-Imagn Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Micah Parsons is not the only Cowboys player due a new contract.<\/p>\n<p>Cowboys guard Tyler Smith is in the final year of his rookie contract.
