MICAH PARSONS IS HEADED FOR A HOLDOUT - AND THE COWBOYS KNOW IT

Micah Parsons is barreling toward a training camp holdout in Oxnard, California. And if you’ve been paying attention to how the Cowboys do business, you saw this coming a mile away.

No chance they let Micah miss games.No chance they don’t eventually pay him.But that doesn’t mean this won’t get messy first.

There’s no pressure point for the front office until the second franchise tag option expires… in 2028. That’s the actual deadline. So until then? It’s up to Micah to create the deadline.

It’s holdout or slow bleed.

So maybe we’ll see #11 in Oxnard.But don’t be surprised if it’s not until August.
