Micah Parsons says he’s done waiting. The Cowboys’ defensive superstar has requested a trade after contract talks went nowhere—talks that reportedly left his agent out and turned personal behind closed doors.
Parsons wants $200 million, which would make him the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history. Jerry Jones? He’s not budging, insisting Parsons honor his $24 million deal for 2025 and hinting he might franchise tag him in 2026.
So here’s the question:
- Pay the man now and lock in a generational talent for the next decade?
- Or hold the line and risk losing the most dominant defender Dallas has had since DeMarcus Ware?
With 50+ sacks in 63 games, Parsons is the engine of the Cowboys’ defense. Letting this turn into another drawn-out Dallas drama could cost more than money—it could cost a Super Bowl window.
Where do you stand—pay him or play hardball?

Ok so on the real, Jerry Jones is master negatioator. He’ll get it done. Parsons has zero leverage.
