A key component of the Dallas Cowboys’ offense this upcoming season is speaking out on the Micah Parsons situation. Contract negotiations between the team and its Pro Bowl linebacker have gotten nowhere, leading the former Penn State product to request a trade on Aug. 1.Things between Parsons and team owner Jerry Jones seem to have hit a boiling point, and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is one of many not pleased with the tensions around the team as a result of that.“I feel like he’s (Parsons) gonna be here,” Lamb told John Machota of The Athletic on Friday. "Reaction was crazy. A little disappointed (in the process). But it is what it is. You gotta do what you gotta do and he’s gotta do what’s best for him and his family.”Parsons is seeking a new contract extension before the season begins as he prepares to enter the final year of his rookie deal. Jones hasn’t helped matters by reportedly not initiating contract negotiations with Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, considered among the most powerful in the NFL.Lamb can relate to Parsons’ current situation, as he experienced it last year when he was seeking an extension. The All-Pro receiver didn’t attend the 2024 minicamp because of the dispute.Eventually, the matter got settled, and he received a new four-year contract worth $136 million with $100 million guaranteed. In addition to that, he was offered a $38 million signing bonus if he stayed with the Cowboys for the 2028 campaign.There is optimism that the Parsons matter will be resolved soon, with the linebacker returning to practice on Saturday. The Cowboys’ first preseason game is this afternoon at SoFi Stadium against the LA Rams.Ceedee Lamb not impressed by the Cowboys’ defensive backsThe Cowboys’ pass rush could suffer tremendously minus Micah Parsons, but their cover game doesn’t seem to be impressing CeeDee Lamb either.On Friday, he was asked by The Athletic’s John Machota if any Cowboys defensive backs have given him hell.“Honestly, none of them," Lamb said. "They haven’t given me hell. But I will say, it is great competing with these guys.”Dallas boasts two former Pro Bowl cover guys in Trevon Diggs and DaRon Bland, though the former has struggled to stay healthy over the past couple of seasons. Last season, the Cowboys gave up the fifth-most yards per game in the NFL (355.2), including 218.1 through the air.Former Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, the team’s new offensive coordinator, will have a tough task to try to turn around a defense that is struggling in the cover game and would love a lot of pressure on the line of scrimmage if Parsons doesn’t return soon.
