Micah Parsons wants to get paid.
The 26-year-old is due for a massive contract extension. In four seasons with the Cowboys, he has racked up 256 total tackles, 112 QB hits, 52.5 sacks, and nine forced fumbles.
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer was asked if he expects to have Parsons at mandatory minicamp.
“I would assume. Micah and I talked a couple of days ago,” Schottenheimer told reporters.
“He’s doing a little bit of traveling but again, everything that he and I talked about, I expect that he will be here. I say Micah and I have had great communication and everything that I’ve asked him to do and vice versa, he’s followed through on so, I expect to see him.”
Eventually, the man himself would speak out on his own behalf.
On Tuesday night, Micah Parsons announced that he’ll participate at minicamp despite not having a long-term deal done.
“I will be there,” Parsons replied to Hill’s social media post.
I will be there! I haven’t missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook ! I’m preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it’s in the owner’s hands. I’m ready to win a Super Bowl ! https://t.co/gMsfQEDYo7

Parsons has certainly justified a higher asking price in his time with the Cowboys, where he has tallied 10+ sacks across all four of his seasons in the league.
According to The Dallas Morning News, Parsons is eyeing one of the biggest contracts in NFL history.
Parsons, who is about to enter the final year of his deal, is currently seeking an extension to the tune of $200 million, which would amount to the largest non-quarterback contract in NFL history.
The Cowboys reportedly met with Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta, at the NFL Combine to have early discussions about the contract but haven’t held any since.
It’s a risky game for the Cowboys to play if they delay in getting something done.
