Myles Garrett: Micah Parsons 'should get every penny he's owed'
Our Summary
The Dallas Cowboys are approaching the new season with star linebacker Micah Parsons still awaiting a lucrative contract extension. Despite delays, it's expected that Parsons will receive a significant pay increase, potentially surpassing Myles Garrett's $40 million per year deal, which currently sets the benchmark for pass rushers. Myles Garrett himself has endorsed Parsons, praising his dedication and skill. Parsons is currently in the final year of his rookie contract, earning $24.007 million, but anticipates a substantial raise. With other top defenders like T.J. Watt also negotiating new deals, the market may see further inflation. Parsons remains hopeful for a resolution by training camp, but acknowledges that the Cowboys' delay could ultimately increase their financial commitment.
