This negotiation, when it was a negotiation, has gone sideways. It\u2019s not a negotiation right now. There\u2019s really no conversation about getting a deal done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat could change next week. It could change shortly before the season. We\u2019ve seen how long Dallas sometimes waits on some of these deals. See CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott last season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It could be something that happens as the clock strikes 12 on the 2025 regular season. Or it could be this: The Cowboys have an offer on the table that won\u2019t be changing. Parsons can either take it or play under his fifth-year option of $24 million and then resume talks after the season.<\/p>\n<p>My own prediction\/guess is that, ultimately, there won\u2019t be a new deal until 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At a time when they should be making progress, the Cowboys and linebacker Micah Parsons are not.
