Micah Parsons isn’t prioritizing a massive payday in new contract
Micah Parsons is gearing up for a contract extension this offseason, but he’s not focused on securing a massive payday. Instead, the star linebacker has his eyes set on one goal: helping the Cowboys clinch a championship.
“It would be nice to be surrounded by good players,” Parsons said, via NBC. “Players that will help me win championships, I’ll say that. To me, having $40 million and being chipped every play and slid into three, four people, that doesn’t sound too fun to me.
“So, to me, it’s about keeping people that can make a difference and obviously we’re going to get Sam [Williams] back, some players back. We’ll see how it breaks down, but I want to keep as many guys as possible. They will make the cap work, I don’t know.”
Micah Parsons taking a pay cut could be the key to the Dallas Cowboys’ Super Bowl hopes. By freeing up cap space, the Cowboys can build a stronger roster and boost their championship chances. Although Dallas was already eliminated from playoff contention before Sunday’s game, they still fought hard for a win, pushing their record to 7-8. Now, with a new focus, the Cowboys face a pivotal road clash against the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday, one that could shape their future.
