Micah Parsons emphasizes team chemistry over a record contract, aiming to keep key players with the Cowboys for a championship run.
Dallas: Micah Parsons is making it clear he’s not looking for a big payday. Instead, he wants to focus on winning with the Cowboys. He’s all about keeping the team together.
Recently, he spoke to reporters and said he’s not planning to hold out if a new contract isn’t ready before the season starts. He knows how important it is to be at training camp to build that team chemistry.
Parsons mentioned that his presence is crucial for the defense. He wants to be there to help everyone get lined up and ready to go. It’s all about rushing together and building that bond.
When it comes to his contract, he’s not interested in breaking the bank. He’s willing to take less money if it means keeping good players around him. He believes having a strong team is more important than a huge paycheck.
“It would just be nice to be surrounded by good players,” he said. He’s focused on winning championships, not just making money. He wants to keep as many teammates as possible.
Parsons is so committed to the Cowboys that he even said he wants to be a Cowboy for life. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is on board with that idea, too. He’s made it clear that there’s no plan to trade Parsons.
There’s been some chatter about the financial side of things, especially with other big names on the team. But Jones reassured fans that Parsons is a key part of their future.
Parsons is currently under a rookie deal that runs through 2025. He’s eligible for free agency in 2026, but he’s not worried about that right now. He just wants to focus on winning and enjoying life.
“I don’t need $40 million per year,” he said. “I just want a place by the lake.”
