Cowboys news: Source claims Jerry Jones and Micah Parsons are talking about a new deal

There are rumblings that the Cowboys and Micah Parsons might get a deal done.

The Dallas Cowboys and their All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons have held discussions about a long-term contract extension, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations.

According to that source, Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones called Parsons to The Star on Tuesday to discuss a potential deal in further detail.

Parsons is entering the final year of his rookie deal — a fifth-year option worth $24 million. A long-term deal for Parsons is widely expected to be in the $40 million range in terms of annual salary, based on contracts that have been signed by other high-end defensive talents around the league.
