The news looks good for the Cowboys ahead of their upcoming negotiations with Micah Parsons.
In any case, the player prepares the media ground to ensure that he is not there for the money. A few days ago, he announced the color in his podcast.
“I know I'm going to be a Cowboy for life. We're going to find a way for me to be a Cowboy for the rest of my life. »
Thursday, on his team's official website, he added a layer of optimism with a new announcement: no question of striking at the start of next season if negotiations drag on.
“I definitely think I need to be here for training camp. Because honestly, when a lot of the defense revolves around you, I have to be there for those guys to adjust. We can create alchemy. So I think it's extremely important that I'm here for spring practice, minicamp, etc. »
Quality players rather than millions for Micah Parsons?
The desire to stay? Okay. No strike? Okay.
And a small reduction? Why not.
“ I think it would be good to be surrounded by good players“, says Parsons. “ Players who will help us win titles. For me, having 40 million per season and having 3 or 4 opponents on your back for every action doesn't seem like much fun. […] We'll see how it goes, but I want to keep as many guys as possible, even if it's going to have to work with the salary limit. »
Dallas' pass rusher is a simple man, after all.
“ I don't need 40 million a year. I need a place where I can have a house on a lake. »
The 25-year-old, 12th choice in the 2021 Draft, has already managed 49 sacks in 60 games. He was selected to an All Pro team after each of his first three seasons.
