While the team doesn\u2019t seem particularly worried about it, the Dallas Cowboys are currently trying to get Micah Parsons signed to a long-term contract extension. Parsons is currently entering the final year of his rookie contract, but he\u2019s in line for a significant raise over the $24 million he\u2019s set to earn in 2025.<\/p>\n
The NFL\u2019s highest-paid defender is Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns, who signed a four-year, $160 million contract in March. Parsons has compiled 52.5 sacks since entering the league as the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Meanwhile, Garrett has tallied 60 in the past four seasons, putting them on a similar track.<\/p>\n

However, now it\u2019s Parsons\u2019 turn to get paid. Until they do so, there will be rumors about Parsons\u2019 future in Dallas.<\/p>\n
Recently, NBA superstar Kevin Durant, who\u2019s a D.C. native who just got traded to the Houston Rockets<\/a>, chimed in on Parsons\u2019 future in Texas. Specifically, Durant believes Parsons will eventually join the Washington Commanders, the Cowboys\u2019 division rival, in two years.<\/p>\n On the surface, Durant\u2019s claim seems ridiculous. Yet, as Parsons points out, he has a lot of respect for Washington\u2019s head coach, Dan Quinn, meaning, a lot of crazier things have happened.<\/p>\n
