The defensive star of the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL, Micah Parsons, has demonstrated his impressive value both on and off the field, and has become an important figure within the league.
A few days ago, Myles Garrett secured a contract extension with the Cleveland Browns that made him the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL, earning $40 million per season. This undoubtedly had repercussions on the Dallas Cowboys’ management and, above all, on Micah Parsons.
Parsons is close to becoming the next millionaire in the NFL, and with his impressive and consistent performances in his first four years in the league, he has earned the right to fight for it.
This is likely why the message he posted on his social media may have had a recipient, possibly aimed at the Cowboys’ management and especially at the team’s owner, Jerry Jones.
Parsons’ Numbers with the Cowboys
The Penn State product has been astounding in his four years in the NFL. He has truly been a very consistent player, which has been reflected in spectacular numbers-52.5 sacks in his career. Because of this, Parsons is very close to shaking up the league’s market and could surpass Myles Garrett’s contract.
Parsons was named the defensive Rookie of the Year in 2021 after a great season with 13 sacks. He was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2022, and in 2022, he led the NFL with 13.5 sacks, solidifying himself as one of the league’s best players.
The Cowboys lost defensive end Chauncey Golston, who contributed 5.5 sacks last season before signing with the New York Giants. This could suggest that Jerry Jones’ team is making space in the salary cap to break the market with a new deal for Micah Parsons.
