Micah Parsons is also among the missing as of Monday, though his reasoning is allegedly "not about money,'' per one report.

Parsons, perThe Dallas Morning News, is "focused on a personalized training program outside the facility while determined to prepare himself for the 2024 season in the manner he considers optimal.''

That's a lot of fancy words to say "he's working out on his own.''

Parsons did the same thing at this time last year and of course experienced an All-Pro season. While the stellar defender obviously has his critics - most of that is about his "colorful'' quotes that some think distracts him from keeping his eye on the prize - he produces ... which is why we've suggested that maybe his inside-The-Star critics do a better job of keeping their "focus on winning'' rather than on their "worn-thin'' "focus on leaking.''

These early sessions are voluntary, but that does not make them insignificant ... otherwise, why would teams engage in them? A June 4-6 minicamp is mandatory, and that will mark a milestone for quarterback Dak Prescott, Lamb and Parsons, who are all due potential blockbuster contract extensions.
