Micah Parsons, linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys, was definitely not happy with team owner Jerry Jones’ comments on his contract extension. Parsons spoke to reporters during the ongoing training camp with the Cowboys and seemed to condemn Jones’ comments that giving him a big contract would mean taking a huge risk since he might not play all the games in the season.
In the 2024 NFL season, Parsons missed around four games as a result of an ankle injury. However, Jerry Jones remarked that the linebacker actually missed six games for the team. Still, Jones did not seem too convinced in the positives of doling out a big and juicy contract for Micah Parsons.
“I want to be here. At the end of the day, they sign the checks. Let’s see if they want me to be here… I’m doing this for myself and my teammates. This isn’t for Jerry.” Micah Parsons said about Jerry Jones’ comments in a recent conversation with reporters.

Micah Parsons is perhaps the most important player for the Dallas Cowboys when it comes to defense. Parsons has been with the Cowboys since the 2021 season, and managed a total of 30 solo tackles for the team in the previous season, despite missing four games because of his ankle injury.
