Jerry Jones made an interesting comment about Micah Parsons during Day 1 of the Dallas Cowboys' training camp. While speaking with reporters, he highlighted injury concerns as a reason behind the delay in their contract negotiations with the four-time Pro Bowler. Jones also used the example of quarterback Dak Prescott to justify his reasoning.

"Just because we sign him doesn't mean we're going to have him," Jones said. "He was hurt six games last year. Seriously, we've signed, I remember signing a player for the highest paid at the position in the league, and he got knocked out two-thirds of the year, Dak Prescott.
"So there's a lot of things you can think about when you, just as the player does when you're thinking about committing and guaranteeing money on," he added.

On Tuesday, FOX Sports analyst Nick Wright shared his take on Micah Parsons' contract situation after Jerry Jones' comments. During an appearance on FS1's "First Things First," he believes that the Cowboys will end up finalizing a lucrative deal with the four-time Pro Bowler, nevertheless.

"Jerry is talking about all the reasons why it is risky to pay Micah Parsons, when I think he knows deep down, 'I'm gonna pay Micah Parsons,'" Wright said. "He is making the case as to why the thing he is about to do could be dumb. Because we all know how this is ending. It is ending with around $42 million a year, around $110 million fully guaranteed and it's ending with Micah Parsons locked up long term."

The Cowboys picked up the DE's fifth-year option on the rookie contract in April 2024. Last season, Parsons helped the team finish third in the NFC East with a 7-10 record. After failing to qualify for the playoffs, they fired head coach Mike McCarthy and promoted Brian Schottenheimer as his replacement.

"I don't know. We'll see," Parsons said via The Athletic's Jon Machota. "We'll just see how long things take you know... I want to be here. At the ned of the day, they sign the checks. Let's see if they want me to be here. I'm doing this for myself and my teammates. This isn't for Jerry."
