As training camp heats up, Micah Parsons is still seeking a new contract with the Dallas Cowboys. However, according to Adam Schefter’s latest update, things appear to be in a holding pattern.
Schefter, speaking on his podcast, said Parsons and the Cowboys were “nowhere” as of Tuesday. In fact, he said the two sides are farther apart than they were a few months ago, indicating things have “gone backwards, not forwards.”
While Schefter noted things can change quickly, things went “sideways” as Parsons and the Cowboys continued to talk. As a result, things appear to have quieted down.
“I would say right now, we’re nowhere on that deal,” Schefter told Ty Schmit . “I would say right now, Ty, we are further away from a deal in late July, early August, than we were in late March, early April. The two sides have gone backwards, not forwards. I don’t think they’re speaking very much these days, if at all. There was communication in late March and early April when Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons were sitting down and discussing a deal and making progress and tracking towards getting that deal done.
“But this negotiation – when it was a negotiation – has gone sideways because it’s not a negotiation right now. There’s really no conversation about getting a deal done. That could change next week. It could change shortly before the season.”
