The Dallas Cowboys haven’t had the season they hoped to have, but they still have a lot of talent on the roster.
Dallas is 5-8 on the season so far heading into its Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Cowboys haven’t been eliminated from playoff contention yet, although the chances for Dallas are extremely small right now.
The Cowboys should be starting to think ahead, and their biggest question mark is going to revolve around the future of superstar linebacker Micah Parsons. Dallas locked up Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb to massive extensions, could Parsons follow suit this offseason?
He’s under team control for one more year before hitting free agency, but there already has been chatter about a possible extension. Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox made a list of predictions for extensions for this upcoming offseason and predicted that Dallas will end up signing Parsons to a four-year, $158 million extension.
“The Dallas Cowboys appear poised to have another quiet offseason in 2025,” Knox said. “However, the Cowboys should make re-signing star pass-rusher Micah Parsons a priority. With $20.8 million in cap space available, Dallas should do it now…
“He’s likely to top Nick Bosa’s $34 million-per-year deal anyway, but impending free agents like Azeez Ojulari, Haason Reddick, Josh Sweat, and DeMarcus Lawrence could push the entire edge market up in 2025. Franchise owner Jerry Jones should have learned from this past offseason that waiting on contracts will only end up costing his franchise more money. Contract Projection: Four Years, $158 Million With $113.5 Million Guaranteed.”
This should be the top priority for Dallas. If the Cowboys can have Prescott, Lamb, and Parsons all on extensions, it’ll just be easier to build around for the future.
