Micah Parsons contract: "That's been their mode of operations": Ex-Packers VP predicts Cowboys' timeline on Micah Parsons extension

Micah Parsons is ready to report to camp, but the Dallas Cowboys front office, led by Jerry Jones, still hasn’t written the check. Less than a week is left before training camp starts in Oxnard, and the franchise is stalling on a massive contract extension for their linebacker.

However, former Packers vice president Andrew Brandt isn’t shocked.

“If history is a guide (CeeDee Lamb, Dak Prescott), the Cowboys will wait until the end of training camp and then pay him at the top of the market. Hard to know why, but that's been their mode of operations,” Brandt tweeted on Thursday.

Parsons is reportedly seeking to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. He is doing everything required of a committed player, whether attending the voluntary OTAs or mandatory minicamp.

Micah Parsons discusses Cowboys contract extension with WWE legend The Undertaker

While Micah Parsons is doing everything to show he's committed to the Cowboys, he is not holding back when it comes to him getting paid. The linebacker discussed his Cowboys contract extension issue with WWE legend The Undertaker.

“Ownership is always gonna make it drag out,” Parsons said on Thursday, via the "Six Feet Under" podcast. “Lack of communication, but I just keep working, keep going. Ain’t gonna be no drop off.”

Last summer, Dallas did the same song and dance with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, waiting until the last minute before cutting the check. It’s Parsons’ turn in the pressure cooker.

However, if Jerry Jones doesn’t get this done soon, he risks turning a loyal star into a frustrated one. The clock is ticking, and the Cowboys owner must act fast with the 2025 season fast approaching.
