Micah Parsons Latest News
Contract option picked up
The Cowboys have picked up Parsons' fifth-year contract option, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. The move keeps the 2021 first-rounder -- who played the majority of his snaps at defensive end in 2023 -- under contract with Dallas through the 2025 campaign. Per Gehlken, the star defender's salary in his fifth NFL season will be $21.32 million. The 24-year-old is coming off another productive effort with the Cowboys, in which he racked up 64 tackles and a career high 14 sacks in 17 regular-season outings.
Leads sack parade Sunday
The Cowboys brought down Bryce Young seven times in total in a 33-10 rout, with Parsons setting a new season high in sacks along the way. The third-year pass rusher has 10 sacks in 10 games to begin the 2023 campaign, putting him on pace to shatter the career-high 13.5 he racked up last season.
Busy in loss to Philly
He piled up three QB hits in total, and Parsons collected the sack on a second-half play in which Jalen Hurts appeared to injure his knee, although it was contact from a falling DeMarcus Lawrence that seemed to do the damage. Parsons is up to 7.5 sacks through eight games this season, tying him for eighth in the league with Philly's Haason Reddick and Baltimore's Justin Madubuike.
