Parsons’ Absence: Contract Negotiations loom
While OTAs are a valuable opportunity, it is common for players to sit out. This year, one prominent Cowboy is not participating: Micah Parsons.
Parsons’ absence coincides with ongoing contract negotiations. The Cowboys are reportedly working towards a long-term deal that would keep the defensive star in Dallas and perhaps make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.
