On Wednesday of last week, there were a lot of outside events that shook the Dallas Cowboys.
As the sports media continued to focus on the fallout from Jerry Jones’ remarks about the lack of activity during the offseason, shocking news broke across the league: the wide receiver Amon-ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions signed a massive new contract that will make him the NFL’s highest-paid wide receiver, along with Tyreek Hill.
With regard to upcoming talks with CeeDee Lamb in particular, the Cowboys organization is probably going to be significantly impacted by this change in the compensation environment.
Conversely, Micah Parsons is still awaiting an extension to his deal, which would make him the highest paid pass rusher in the NFL. This delay intensifies
After 24 hours on Wednesday, the Cowboys made the decision to activate defensive end Parsons’ fifth-year option.
Perhaps the team could have chosen to use him in his final rookie season as a linebacker, but it would have required them to spend additional money. The revelation was reported by Dallas Morning revelation’ Michael Gehlken.
Right now, Dallas will have to pay $21.324 million for him. He would earn an additional $3 million if he were positioned as LB. The amount of snaps he has had in a particular position determines this. He has played more DE than LB overall.
Pro Football Focus reports that he played defensive end for 87.8% of his snaps during the previous campaign.
