The NFL combine took place in Indianapolis this week. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, never one to shy away from an opportunity to speak, actually did so when he didn’t speak to the media on multiple occasions during festivities. However, he has been doing a different kind of talking lately. Per Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News, the Cowboys have begun talks for a contract extension with the agent of All-Pro Micah Parsons.
Cowboys have held general conversations with the agent for Micah Parsons, about a contract extension, 2 people with knowledge of the discussions tells @dmn_cowboys

Dallas picked up the fifth-year option on Parsons last April. He’s scheduled to make just over $24 million in 2025. Getting this done sooner rather than later is a no-brainer.
Every since Parsons stepped foot on an NFL field, he was the best player on the Cowboys and one of the best in the league. He is known for his pass rush, but he does so much more than that. Parsons has a skill set that allows him to play in multiple areas and create opportunities for other guys because he’s such a menace. He’s the ultimate chess piece, and players like him don’t come around very often.
The Cowboys were able to get contract extensions for quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb last offseason, with the former coming literally hours before the kickoff of their season opener in 2024. Dallas does not need to wait until the last-minute with Parsons. He has made it known that he wants the Cowboys to be aggressive when it comes to free agency. One way to help that would be get Parsons locked long-term to help create cap space.
