THE Dallas Cowboys’ contract negotiations with Micah Parsons have been public and drama-filled, but Tony Romo thinks there’s light at the end of the tunnel.
The four-time NFL Pro Bowl pass rusher Parsons has been in a contract standoff this offseason with Jerry Jones and the Cowboys.
Parsons will be in the final year of his rookie contract in 2025 and is eyeing a long-term, record-breaking deal that sees him earn $40 million a season from the Cowboys.
Jones revealed last week that the Cowboys have sent an offer to Parsons, but nothing is imminent.
With the 2025 NFL Draft officially over, all eyes will continue to be on Parsons’ contract situation with the Cowboys, and team legend Tony Romo told The U.S. Sun that he’s confident an extension will be reached.
“I think there’s a great chance [that the Cowboys extend Parsons],” Romo said in an exclusive interview thanks to his new Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins campaign.
“The Cowboys are not in the business of letting great players leave the building, so I think you’ll see Micah sign a long-term contract soon and both sides will be happy.”
Romo referred to the Cowboys’ most recent contract extensions, which include Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb in 2024.
America’s Team also locked up defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa to a four-year deal in March.
Romo then provided context as to why the Parsons’ contract situation is great for the Cowboys.
“[The Parsons’ contract extension situation is] a byproduct of drafting good players,” Romo said.
“That’s why you have these tough negotiations.
“It’s because you’ve drafted good players and you’re in a position where you gotta pay them.
“That’s a good problem to have, and I think this team [has] a core group of guys who’ve played at a high level for a long time.
“They were right in position [to win in the 2023 season but] just didn’t get quite over the hump but there’s a little reset there this last year and now they’re starting the next process.”
Parsons’ contract negotiations have had conflict, however, just like Prescott and Lamb’s last year.
Last month, Jones created a stir when he revealed that he’s negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent, David Mulugheta.

Parsons then replied to Jones on social media, writing on X, “David is the best and I will not be doing any deal without David Mulugheta involved!
“Like anyone with good sense, I hired experts for a reason. There is no one I trust more when it comes to negotiating contracts than David!
“There will be no backdoors in this contract negotiation.”
Parsons recently shared that he won’t participate in on-field work until a contract is done.

The Cowboys will kick off offseason OTAs (Organized Team Activities) on May 21 before mandatory minicamp begins in early June.
