With the regular season approaching, the Dallas Cowboys should be aiming to extend EDGE Micah Parsons promptly. But they’re still in no rush to do that.
Parsons is set to play on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract in 2025 and has requested a trade. Dallas insists it has no plans to move the 26-year-old pass-rusher but hasn’t clarified when it will extend him.
Giving him a new deal before the regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4 at 8:20 p.m. ET (NBC, Peacock) seems wise. Dallas owner Jerry Jones, however, said that’s not the team’s deadline, nor does it need one.
“No, not at all,” Jones said Wednesday, via Jonah Javad of WFAA-TV in Dallas. “You don’t have deadlines when you’re playing under contract.”
