The Dallas Cowboys and star linebacker Micah Parsons have been negotiating a contract extension, without results, for months now. Still, there has been a general optimism that a deal will get done. Now,

Micah is entering the fifth-year option on his rookie deal, paying him $24 million (“An easy $20 million sitting at practice…” as Jerry Jones has said), but his contract-related hold in is continuing to nag at the Cowboys faithful pleading for something to change.

The Dallas Cowboys should sign Micah Parsons to an extension, but if they decide to pursue a trade, Jerry Jones' team would land an impressive haul.
