Report: Cowboys star Micah Parsons seeks $200M extension

, Reuters - 11:34 AM ET 3/29/2025 default

Cowboys All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons is seeking a $200 million contract extension, The Dallas Morning News reported.

That total would serve as the largest deal ever for a non-quarterback in NFL history.

Conversations between Parsons' representation and members of the Cowboys' front office were conducted at the NFL Scouting Combine in late February. It's been quiet on the front since then, per the report.

Sizable contracts for non-quarterbacks are nothing new this offseason.

Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby signed a three-year, $106.5 million deal, only to be trumped by Cleveland Browns standout defensive end Myles Garrett inking a four-year, $160 million. Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase reeled in a four-year, $161 million pact.

Those contracts are the largest in terms of annual average value for a non-quarterback.

Parsons, 25, recorded 12 sacks, 43 tackles and two forced fumbles in 13 games (all starts) last season.

A Pro Bowl selection in each of his first four seasons in the league, Parsons has totaled 256 tackles (63 for loss), 112 quarterback hits, 52.5 sacks, nine forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 63 career games (all starts).
