Micah Parsons is one of the best defensive players in the NFL, with the three-time All-Pro pass rusher looking to help his team make a deep run in the playoffs and possibly a Super Bowl appearance.
The Dallas Cowboys‘ 25-year-old superstar is due about $24 million on the fifth-year option year on his rookie contract in 2025. But there’s nothing to worry: analysts and insiders can’t imagine there’s a scenario where he’s not wearing a star on his helmet.
Let’s remember that America’s Team have already paid some of its biggest stars, starting with the record-setting contract for Dak Prescott, which made him the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL per year. CeeDee Lamb also got his blockbuster deal during the 2024 offseason and is one of the highest-paid receivers, ranking third in the league in catches and yards.
Micah Parsons can’t move a sumo wrestler
In a resurfaced video, we can see Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons taking a shot at sumo wrestling during a trip to Japan with Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud. But when he faced off with a real pro, things didn’t go as planned. Despite his strength, Parsons was effortlessly held in place.
After Parsons failed to budge the wrestler, Stroud couldn’t resist. He pulled out a “too small” and “cradle-the-baby” celebration alongside the sumo champ, poking fun at the NFL linebacker’s struggle, who was clearly frustrated with his epic failure.
But Parsons didn’t give up. On his second attempt, he used better technique and managed to push the wrestler out of the ring. He flexed in victory, but the internet had already decided which moment was more iconic. In the end, Micah showed his competitive nature and his will to win.
Parsons wants to help his new head coach win
When asked again about his intentions for minicamp and training camp, as he navigates his first-ever round of contract negotiations with the Dallas Cowboys, Micah Parsons was very clear with his answers and his main goal for the future alongside new head coach, Brian Schottenheimer.
“[It’s] for me and my relationship with our new head coach to understand where he’s coming from and help him in any way I can to go on this run,” he said at the start of the offseason program. “Schotty’s showed up to my event, and Schotty’s been around to try and build relationships. So I feel like we’re at the point where if he asks her for me to come in for the leadership aspect, and to be around the guys, and show face, that’s something I wanna do for my coach.
“I mean, for me, it’s not really like walking the walk. It’s just me. Like I always said, I’ve wanted to be a Cowboy and being here,I feel like it’s really just being me. I’ve been as real as possible since I’ve been here,” the defensive stud added.
