So, exactly what’s wrong? As per a report by USA Today, there is a dispute between Parsons and the Cowboys over the linebacker’s fifth-year salary. The report, which cites an anonymous source familiar with the matter, revealed that Parson’s camp believes his salary should be $24 million, while the Cowboys’ calculation shows it as $21.324 million.

The difference in both sides’ calculations reportedly stemmed from a listing issue on the Dallas roster. Parsons is listed as a defensive end by the Cowboys, which pays $21.324 million, as opposed to a running back, who earns $24 million.
