Micah Parsons says Cowboys have 'a plan in place' for his extension

Micah Parsons isn't sweating his future with the Dallas Cowboys.

The star edge rusher seems confident that he and the Cowboys will come to terms on an extension agreement, sharing that Jerry Jones has "a plan" for him in a recent interview with Cowboys.com.

"Oh, it's good, you know? It was good," Parsons said of his most recent talks with Jones and the team. "I really have a lot of respect for Jerry. We have great conversations all the time. There's definitely a plan in place, but we'll just see how everything plays out. There's been no progress yet, but I'm pretty confident that something will happen, so we'll see."

Parsons was among the Cowboys' three top stars who were eligible and seeking a contract extension last offseason. However, Parsons didn't force the issue and practiced throughout training camp, pushing aside contract talks until after the 2024 offseason. CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, meanwhile, agreed to long-term extensions in the weeks (or in Prescott's case, hours) leading up to the season. 

In December, Parsons shared that he was hoping to get an extension done with the Cowboys much sooner than when Lamb and Prescott last offseason.

"I'm going to try and work with them as much as possible to help them attack free agency," Parsons told reporters in December. "I want to be back with this team. This offseason, I want to be here. I want to get these guys right. I want to take big steps, so hopefully, it can be done sooner than later so we can attack the offseason."

The Cowboys' approach to slow-playing extensions with their top players has been widely criticized as they had to pay Prescott and Lamb record-setting money as a result. Parsons would certainly have a case to join his teammates to make
