Micah Parsons is ready to have his contract situation over with.
The Dallas Cowboys have a habit of waiting too long on contract negotiations for star players who play expensive positions. Whether or not you wanted the team to sign players at these spots in recent history (Dak Prescott is the one who generates the most debate in that regard), you agree that if you are going to get something like this done that you want to get it done in the most financially efficient manner possible. That is simply common sense.
Sunday marks training camp report day for the Cowboys and some of that common sense has escaped the front office yet again as Micah Parsons (who was first eligible for an extension last year) remains without a contract extension. He is a player who has proven his worth, and once more, getting a player like that done as early as possible guarantees that while you are going to pay an enormous amount of money, you are at least going to pay less than if you waited too long. Even the New York Jets seem to understand this principle.
