Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons is the subject of contract drama and trade rumors leading up to the start of the NFL season, but an NFL insider believes the contract drama will be solved.

It's been a drama-filled offseason for the Dallas Cowboys, with yet another superstar engulfed in contract drama leading up to the NFL regular season. Unlike last season with Dak Prescott, this one has been personal.

Micah Parsons publicly requested a trade from the team after Jerry Jones bashed his agent in public, while other jabs have been exchanged.

Negotiations have stalled, and it now looks like a game of chicken between the two sides with a critical moment rapidly approaching. In just over a week, Parsons will have to decide whether he wants to cave and play or hold out and forfeit game checks if he doesn't get a new deal.

In the meantime, there is also growing trade buzz around Parsons, though there's nothing too serious yet. But while there is all of the chaos, NFL insider Jane Slater believes the two sides will eventually reach a resolution and get a deal done.

If you're a Cowboys fan, the growing trade chatter is starting to get a little alarming, but there is no reason to hit the panic button yet.

Hopefully, in typical Jerry Jones fashion, the team is just dragging things on to stay in the headlines.

Then, when there is no time left to play with, a deal can get done. Let's stick with the optimistic approach for now, but time is running out.
