The Dallas Cowboys are still in the process of putting together their roster for the 2025 season, in which head coach Brian Schottenheimer will make his debut. However, linebacker Micah Parsons is still an important loose end and, according to Jerry Jones‘ way of negotiating, it is possible that he will have to wait to have his most important player on defense on board.
Micah Parsons enters the final campaign of his rookie contract in full contract negotiations with the expectation of becoming one of the highest paid players in the NFL.

Jerry Jones has taken the negotiations in stride, even revealing that there was already a meeting in which a general agreement was outlined on guarantees, length of contract and value, but during the NFL owners’ meetings he insisted that there is no rush and said he would rather take the path of risking paying more and getting it right. However, these delays could jeopardize the Cowboys’ preseason, especially the preparation of their most talented defensive player.
“I don’t see it as urgent at all. Some say that, using the basis that the sooner something is done, the cheaper. Well, the sooner something is done, many times, the more mistakes are made. I’d rather pay more and do it right than pay less and screw it up,” Jerry Jones said.

The longer the negotiations drag on, Jerry Jones runs the risk of having to pay more to a Micah Parsons, who usually exerts media pressure through his social networks and from his podcast “The Edge with Micah Parsons”, which he launched in 2023 in collaboration with Bleacher Report. He said he took note when the Cleveland Browns signed Myles Garrett to a four-year, $160 million deal, with $123.5 million guaranteed.
Parsons recorded 12 sacks and 43 tackles in the 2024 season, which makes him a linebacker worth keeping at all costs, and it’s something former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is confident will happen, according to what Jerry Jones has done in recent years.
“The team’s track record of retaining key players, such as Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Osa Odighizuwa, is a positive sign. I think a deal will be done,” Tony Romo said.
