The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly picking up the fifth-year option on Micah Parsons' rookie contract and classifying him as a defensive end rather than a linebacker, per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, a deal that will save the team a little under $3 million.

Per that report, "as a linebacker, Parsons would earn a little more than $24 million in 2025, the final season of his rookie contract. As a defensive end, his 2025 salary will be $21.32 million."
