Micah Parsons is unhappy with his contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Parsons and his team have been locked in a contract dispute for a long time as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. The linebacker’s relationship with his coach, Brian Schottenheimer, is not healthy after the contract dispute.

The Cowboys’ owner and General Manager, Jerry Jones, is handling discussions with Parsons. They had a meeting at the team’s minicamp, and Jones admitted that Parsons has agreed to most of the contract numbers. However, the opinion of NFL insider Albert Breer is pretty alarming.
“The trouble, of course, is that the bond they’ve built doesn’t necessarily make a negotiation any less complicated between a front office and an agent. Or change the fact that Parsons waited the extra year (or had to wait the extra year) to get his second contract, or mitigate that owner Jerry Jones said he’d never heard of super-agent David Mulugheta,”Breer said.
David Mulugheta is a well-known super-agent who represents more than 40 NFL stars, and Micah Parsons is one of them. Parsons is set to earn over $24 million next season and become a free agent at the end of the year.

Mulugheta is expected to help Parsons secure the right deal, but it could take a while. At the same time, Jones is confident that Parsons will agree to his contract proposal.
Albert Breer Says Micah Parsons Requires A Nine-Figure Contract
It’s pretty clear that Micah Parsons will want a new contract that pays him at least $40 million per year and includes over $100 million guaranteed. Albert Breer feels the same as he breaks down Parsons’ possible contract.
“What seems certain is that the average per year on Parsons’s contract will have to start with a four and the guarantees will have to be well into nine figures. Whether that comes together via a holdout, or with less acrimony, remains to be seen,” Breer said.

Despite the ups and downs with his contract, Micah Parsons is gearing up for a strong NFL season. He’s been working out and participating with Harrisonburg area football players. The former Penn State star is not a fan of working out himself.
Parsons wanted to be around people, and he took the opportunity to work out with some of the younger football players.
