Keeping Micah Parsons around will definitely help the Dallas Cowboys make the case that they can go from being a perennially-elite 12-win team in the regular season that implodes in the playoffs to a postseason contender after the disappointing and humiliating end to the 2023 season.
When the new league year begins on March 13, the team may begin talks with the three-time All-Pro linebacker. The deadline to exercise the former first-round pick’s fifth-year option is May 2.
At this point, Parsons feels at ease conducting the discussions anyway the Cowboys deem proper.
on see whether they are interested in doing that, I won’t know until March,” he said on NFL Network.
But with Lamb’s 2024 season marking his fifth-year option, the Cowboys must finalize a deal as quickly as possible to acquire the megastar wide receiver, especially given the option’s almost $18 million cap charge.
Parsons is prepared to wait for the time being as he recognizes the importance of the situation, but he is adamant that he wants to finish his career in Dallas.
Regarding the two-time All-Pro receiver, “I do know they’ve got to get CeeDee Lamb done,” he remarked. “I believe that’s the first priority at the moment, but I would be thrilled if they were prepared to discuss a deal and close one. I’m prepared to live a life as a Cowboy. I wanted to be on this squad [pre-draft]. I want to win a championship with this squad, and I believe that I am supposed to be on this team.
I will not hasten this procedure. I’m just going to relish the journey and work till the appropriate moment.
assist Parsons and the whole defense achieve new heights in the postseason on a reunion tour after Dan Quinn’s departure.
It’s a unit that has excelled in pressing the opposition quarterback and taking the ball away during the Quinn era, but in the wild card collapse against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers, both of those qualities were lacking.
