Cowboys land star wideout George Pickens<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Steelers traded star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick.<\/p>\n

Sports Seriously<\/p>\n

The NFL<\/a> offseason marches on as teams enter the second week of organized team activities (OTAs). After this week is through, teams will be back in action with the start of minicamps, the first mandatory part of the offseason.<\/p>\n

It’s not surprising for players to not be on the field for OTAs, but minicamp is another story. Players can be subject to fines for time missed.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest storylines entering minicamps is the future of Dallas Cowboys<\/a> star edge rusher Micah Parsons<\/a>. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is looking to get an extension done with the team to secure his future in Dallas.<\/p>\n

He made it known a week from minicamp that he will not be missing the mandatory part of offseason training.<\/p>\n

“I will be there!” Parsons wrote in a post on X<\/a> on June 3. “I haven\u2019t missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook! I\u2019m preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it\u2019s in the owner\u2019s hands. I\u2019m ready to win a Super Bowl!”<\/p>\n

No holdout: Micah Parsons expected at Cowboys mandatory minicamp, Brian Schottenheimer says<\/a><\/p>\n

This echoes comments from Cowboys<\/a> coach Brian Schottenheimer earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

“Micah and I talked a couple days ago,”\u00a0Schottenheimer said<\/a>. “Again, he’s doing a little bit of traveling, but (with) everything that he and I have talked about, I expect that he will be here (for mandatory minicamp).”<\/p>\n

Parsons was on the field for the Cowboys’ voluntary offseason program in April.<\/p>\n

“Micah and I have had great communication,” Schottenheimer said. “Everything I’ve asked him to do \u2013 and vice versa \u2013 he’s followed through on. So, I would expect to see him.”<\/p>\n

Parsons is entering the fifth year of his rookie deal signed after the 2021 NFL Draft. Because of his career performance so far, he’s currently set to make $24 million in 2025, all fully guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Multiple other edge rushers have signed lucrative extensions this offseason. Las Vegas<\/a>‘ Maxx Crosby<\/a> signed a three-year, $106.5 million extension<\/a> in March to stay with the Raiders<\/a>. Days later, Myles Garrett<\/a> signed a record four-year, $160 million extension<\/a> with the Cleveland Browns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Parsons would be the latest to sign an extension. If he doesn’t, though, he’d be by far the top free agent in the 2026 offseason.<\/p>\n
