Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons is in a situation many NFL players can relate to: awaiting a much-anticipated contract extension.
But unlike some players who might hold out or demand immediate action, Parsons is staying focused and committed to his team, continuing to report for team activities while patiently waiting for his payday.
Parsons‘ situation is strikingly similar to that of quarterback Dak Prescott a few years ago. Back then, Prescott also faced uncertainty regarding his contract, yet he chose to keep working hard and never held out. Eventually, Prescott was rewarded with a historic contract, and he now advises Parsons to take a similar approach.
What did Prescott say?
At a recent Children’s Cancer Fund gala, Prescott shared his perspective on the matter. While he didn’t have a concrete timeline for Parsons‘ deal, Prescott urged the young linebacker to stay positive and trust the process.
“I don’t have the full answer for it or I think all of mine would’ve been done a lot earlier than they were,” Prescott admitted.
“For him, just stay positive. Understand and make sure that his team knows what he wants and what he believes.”
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, known for his somewhat slow contract negotiations, has made it clear that he wants to lock Parsons down for the long term. Speaking at the NFL league meetings, Jones praised Parsons’ vast potential.
“In every aspect of Micah, he’s got great potential to do more,” Jones remarked.
“He is so capable mentally that he could make us all follow him a little bit.”
However, Jones also noted that he wants complete satisfaction before sealing the deal, emphasizing that it’s not just about the money but ensuring Parsons is fully committed to the Cowboys’ future.
Since entering the NFL in 2021, Parsons has been nothing short of spectacular. A four-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro, he was also named Rookie of the Year and has received Defensive Player of the Year votes in each of his first four seasons. His dominant performances have made him one of the league’s top defensive players and an invaluable asset to the Cowboys’ defense.
The key question now is whether Dallas will strike a long-term deal with Parsons before the upcoming season or if the negotiations will continue into the next year.

Hunter Dobbins helps Red Sox pick up second series win over Yankees
BOSTON — If Boston Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins was distracted after an eventful week, he didn’t show it Saturday night against the New York Yankees.The 25-year-old, who said last weekend in New York that he’d rather retire than play for the Yankees, tossed six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits as the Red Sox pulled off a 4-3 victory to win their second series this week against the Yankees.AdvertisementThe last Red Sox rookie to go six or more scoreless innings with two or fewer hits allowed was Clay Buchholz when he threw his no-hitter on Sept. 1, 2007.The win marked the fourth in a row for the Red Sox and gave them six wins in their last seven games. They moved to .500 for the first time since May 24, the day they lost Alex Bregman to a severe […]
Matějovský: Věděl jsem, že budu naměkko. Jsem rád, že v pondělí nemusím na testy
Splnilo vše vaše očekávání?Myslím, že všechno dopadlo tak, jak mělo. Většinou se říká, že tohle jsou sranda mače. Ale nastoupil jsem za oba týmy a bylo vidět, že ani jedna strana nechtěla prohrát. Když někdo prohrával, chtěl do toho šlápnout. Nakonec je dobře, že utkání skončilo, řekl bych, spravedlivou remízou (6:6). Můžu říct, že jsem si to užil.V podobných zápasech pískne rozhodčí obvykle třeba vymyšlenou penaltu. Neplánoval jste něco podobného?Ne. Dopředu jsem říkal, že nechci žádné připravené scénáře. Kluci se mě hodně ptali, jestli je domluvený nějaký výsledek. Striktně jsem to odmítal. Musím ale říct, že na konci jsem si přál, ať remíza zůstane a nikdo už gól nedá. Ale během zápasu chtěly obě strany zvítězit a já jsem rozhodně nikomu neříkal, jak to má dopadnout.Penaltu, kterou proměnil v první půli váš syn Dominik, jste nechtěl kopat?Kluci mě špičkovali, abych šel kopat já.

Yankees’ sloppiness on full display in another series loss vs. Red Sox
BOSTON — One of the biggest areas general manager Brian Cashman felt he needed to upgrade heading into the 2025 season was the defense and base running. The New York Yankees were humiliated in the World Series due to poor fundamentals, and some Los Angeles Dodgers players let them hear it over the offseason.AdvertisementThe sloppiness became a major narrative throughout the winter, with some observers thinking that was the main reason the Yankees did not win the World Series. For those still concerned with the club’s lack of attention to detail, Saturday night at Fenway Park probably led to some shudders.The Yankees did not play a clean game in a 4-3 loss to the Red Sox. The Yankees have now dropped four of five games this season against their rival and are 8-10 overall in the American League East.“We want […]
„Kanibal“ Merckx na kole kraloval na silnici, prosadil se i na dráze a v terénu
Během sedmnáctileté kariéry Merckx pětkrát ovládl Tour de France i Giro d'Italia, jeden celkový triumf přidal na Vueltě. Třikrát se stal světovým šampionem v silničním závodě mezi profesionály, jednou mezi amatéry. Dohromady má na kontě 525 vítězství na silnici, 98 na dráze a dokonce i dvě v cyklokrosu. Exceloval jak v etapových, tak v jednorázových kláních. V roce 1972 navíc překonal světový rekord v hodinovce.„Nevyhrával jsem pro slávu, ani abych ničil soupeře. Jezdil jsem, abych vyhrál. Ale taky jsem uměl přijmout prohru, když byl soupeř rychlejší, anebo jsem udělal chybu. Bez toho se nedá sportovat,“ vysvětloval Merckx, jenž v roce 1996 dostal od belgické královské rodiny šlechtický titul baron.Rodák z malého městečka v dnešní provincii Vlámské Brabantsko vyzkoušel jako hyperaktivní dítě řadu sportů, v 16 letech se zaměřil na cyklistiku, jíž dal brzy přednost i před školou. V roce 1962 absolvoval 55 závodů, z nichž téměř polovinu včetně domácího silničního šampionátu amatérů vyhrál. O dva roky později se ve stejné kategorii stal mistrem světa […]
Cardinals 1B Willson Conteras’ collision leads to bad blood and plunkings vs. Brewers
Willson Contreras had an eventful game on Saturday.In the ninth inning, the St. Louis Cardinals first baseman made MLB history with his brother, Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras. Together, the pair became the second pair of brothers to homer in the same inning as opponents in the modern age, and the first since 1933 (Rick and Wes Ferrell).AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThat was nice. Less nice was what happened in the bottom of the third inning.A seemingly routine groundout to third base resulted in Milwaukee's Caleb Durbin colliding with Contreras at first base, due to Contreras taking a step backward into the basepath after catching the throw from third baseman Nolan Arenado.The Brewers dugout, most notably veteran Rhys Hoskins, had some words for Contreras after the play, which he reciprocated.There was no bench-clearing brawl, but bad blood clearly remained.
