FRISCO, TEXAS — Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons is reportedly seeking to make NFL history with his next contract extension. According to multiple reports, the All-Pro defender aims to become the league’s first $200 million defensive player, setting a new benchmark for pass rushers.
Parsons, 24, is eligible for an extension this offseason and is expected to reset the market after three dominant seasons in Dallas. With 42 sacks in 50 games, he has cemented himself as one of the most disruptive forces in the NFL.
The Cowboys will have a decision to make, but keeping Parsons long-term is a top priority. If he secures a deal in the $200 million range, it would surpass the current highest defensive contract, held by Nick Bosa (5 years, $170M).
Dallas has already invested heavily in stars like Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, but Parsons’ deal could redefine the team’s cap strategy for years to come.
