The Dallas Cowboys made some interesting business decisions this offseason.
They decided to keep Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb around for the long run.
Those seemed logical decisions on paper, but they committed a big chunk of the team’s salary cap on two players.
That also sparked doubts about whether they would do the same with Micah Parsons.
The Penn State product is due for a contract extension, and being the star he is, he’s likely to demand a steep raise.
With that in mind, team executive Stephen Jones wanted to make it loud and clear that the Cowboys fully intend to meet his asking price and keep him around for the long run:
“We love Micah,” Jones said. “I can’t imagine there’s a scenario where he’s not wearing a star on his helmet.”
Once again, this makes sense on paper.
Then again, given how their roster is shaped, perhaps committing the largest chunk of the salary cap to just three players wouldn’t be the wisest decision.
There have been rumblings that Parsons’ demeanor rubs some people the wrong way, and his attitude has been a red flag since college.
As good a player as he is, he’s often looked gassed at the end of games, and he’s left plenty to be desired in key moments and key games.
He’s perhaps the most versatile defensive player in the league right now, and he should definitely get a big contract.
That, however, will also come with a big responsibility, and he will be asked to step up and be more of a leader in the future.
