It’s the final preseason game for the Dallas Cowboys Friday night in Arlington, Texas, vs. the Atlanta Falcons and All-Pro hybrid defensive end Micah Parsons still doesn’t have a new deal in place with the team. He did show up for the game, however, in a casual look while crushing some stadium food.

Snice being drafted No. 12 overall to Dallas in 2021, all Parsons has done is make four Pro Bowls in four seasons and been named an All-Pro in three of those.

The 26-year-old Parsons is in the fifth year of his rookie contract with the option for the 2025 season, which pays him just over $24 million. He’s holding out — and deservedly so — to get paid like the stud he is and tensions are high with team owner Jerry Jones.

Parsons had 12 sacks last season and Dallas desperately needs him out there on defense.

While the team had a game on Friday, Parsons was seen entering AT&T Stadium while consuming a container full nachos like he went to a Pop Warner concessions stand and gesturing to a fan with the “call me” sign after he yelled, “Come to the Falcons.”

Parson was at team meetings so he might not be going to the Falcons, or anywhere.

The Cowboys open the season on Thursday Night Football at the defending champion and rival Philadelphia Eagles on September 5. Will Parsons have a deal in place by then? Dallas fans certainly hope to see him in full pads by then.
