Dallas Cowboys\u2019 Micah Parsons attended the first practice of the Dallas Cowboys training camp Tuesday in California.<\/p>\n
The pass rusher seeks a contract extension as he enters the final year of his deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been pretty consistent, if they don\u2019t want me here, they don\u2019t want me here,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cI\u2019ll go about my business. I understand the nature of this business, but like I said as long as I\u2019m here and under contract I\u2019ll perform at the highest level, but if this is the end, this is the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
Parsons came out to the practice field suited up and stretched with the team, but did not participate during the practice sessions. He said his reason for sitting out was due to back tightness, and not because of the contract dispute.<\/p>\n
Despite that, Parsons made it very clear he needs a new contract, and he\u2019s waiting for the Cowboys to make an appropriate offer.<\/p>\n
When you go around the league and you see these other teams taking care of their best guys\u2026 I see [TJ Watt] got taken care of, [Maxx Crosby] got taken care of, [Myles Garrett] got taken care of he\u2019s got 2 years left on his deal\u2026wish we had that same type of energy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Browns\u2019 Myles Garrett and Steelers\u2019 TJ Watt both received deals worth at least $40 million per season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cowboys Head Coach Brian Schottenheimer gave his thoughts on the Parsons situation ahead of Tuesday’s practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThese contract negotiations are never easy,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cThey\u2019re not easy on the club, they\u2019re not easy on the players, so the fact that these guys come in and participate and do some things is great. It\u2019s more about being around the players and the team and the biggest thing for me right now is he\u2019s here and he\u2019s trying to engage with the other members of the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Parsons Contract saga continues at Cowboys training camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
