Overview

• Myles Garrett publicly endorsed Parsons’ right to full market pay, praising his work ethic after training together.
• Parsons enters the final year of his rookie contract with a $24.007 million base salary and no extension in place.
• His representatives are targeting a potential extension worth around $200 million, which would exceed Garrett’s $160 million deal.
• The Cowboys paused contract talks entering the summer break, leaving negotiations unresolved ahead of training camp.
• If the Cowboys continue to delay, Parsons could leapfrog Garrett as the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback defender.
