When do you think a Micah Parsons deal is going to happen?
Dallas Cowboys training camp is coming soon. And we all know what that means. The team is facing a big contract to complete with one of their star players. This year’s star is pass rusher Micah Parsons.
The expectation, based on history, is that things will drag out until the last moment, then Jerry Jones will overpay Parsons. Things are complicated by the situation the Pittsburgh Steelers have with T.J. Watt. They are locked in a similar negotiation. Whichever of the two EDGE rushers signs first should be the highest paid non-quarterback in the league - until the other gets his bag. You can be sure both Parsons’ and Watt’s camps are well aware of this, and in no hurry to get things done first.
But maybe it’s time for the Cowboys to take a different approach. David Howman and Tom Ryle discuss.
Tom: Let’s get radical. How about the team tells Parsons they are not going to do an extension at all?
