As the Dallas Cowboys prepare for the upcoming season, the focus is on whether quarterback Dak Prescott has the necessary support to lead the team to a Super Bowl victory. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones acknowledged the fan fervor around the potential contract extension for standout linebacker Micah Parsons during a recent practice in Oxnard, California. While fans chanted for Parsons to be paid, Jones compared the noise to last year’s vocal demand for CeeDee Lamb’s contract, clarifying that discussions around Parsons will remain internal.
The Cowboys recently secured a four-year contract with tight end Jake Ferguson, valued at up to $52 million, which includes $30 million guaranteed. Ferguson expressed his commitment to the team, stating that playing for the Cowboys has been a dream for him. His performance has been notable, particularly in the 2023 season where he recorded 71 receptions for 761 yards and five touchdowns, earning a Pro Bowl selection as a replacement player.
Ferguson is not alone in discussions of contract extensions; the Cowboys have numerous key players on their roster worth considering for long-term deals, including Parsons, left guard Tyler Smith, cornerback DaRon Bland, and potentially wide receiver George Pickens. Additionally, Pro Bowl kicker Brandon Aubrey is facing restricted free agency after this season.
