The Dallas Cowboys kicked off their voluntary offseason program with Pro Bowl pass rusher Micah Parsons present, a significant shift from his previous two seasons where he primarily trained solo. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Parsons aims to secure a contract extension, with owner Jerry Jones revealing progress was made during a lengthy discussion with Parsons recently. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer expressed confidence in Parsons’ commitment to the team's offseason activities, highlighting his potential for future performance growth.

Last year, quarterback Dak Prescott participated fully in the offseason program while star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb missed much of training camp before signing a major extension. The Cowboys are keen on securing Parsons for the long term, and negotiations are currently ongoing, focusing on contract details between executive Stephen Jones and Parsons' agent David Mulugheta. The Cowboys are clearly invested in making Parsons a central piece as they navigate these negotiations.
