With the Las Vegas Raiders reportedly agreeing to a historic $106.5 million contract extension with Maxx Crosby, setting a new benchmark for non-quarterbacks, all eyes are now on LB Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys.
Parsons, widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the league, is due for a massive payday, and Crosby’s deal only raises his market value.
Parsons, a two-time All-Pro and Defensive Player of the Year candidate, is expected to surpass Crosby’s contract. Some projections suggest he could become the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, potentially exceeding $35-40 million per year.
With the salary cap rising and Parsons’ elite versatility as a pass rusher and linebacker, the Cowboys will need to make him a priority.
The question now is whether Jerry Jones will negotiate early or risk Parsons’ price skyrocketing further. One thing is certain—Parsons is about to reset the market for defensive stars.
