Cowboys' Micah Parsons on latest contract talk, if he will attend training camp without new deal
FRISCO, Texas — After not participating in the three weeks of organized team activities, Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons was in attendance for the first day of minicamp on Tuesday. However, Parsons did not take part in drills. He said he was dealing with back tightness from recent training with cornerback Trevon Diggs. At one point, Parsons spent roughly 30 minutes talking with Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones. According to the four-time Pro Bowler, his contract situation was never discussed. Micah Parsons was at today's minicamp practice but he did not participate. He spent about 30 minutes talking with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones — Jon Machota (@jonmachota) June 10, 2025 The conversation was more about Parsons' offseason, his training, travel and Jones' appreciation for Parsons showing leadership by being at The Star on Tuesday. 'I'm pretty hopeful,' Parsons said of getting a new contract before training camp starts in late July. 'I understand that it's up to (Jones). He gives the green light on everything. Hopefully something is done by next month.' Advertisement For that to happen, Jones and Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, have to communicate. That has not yet happened. Parsons believes Jones is the one who needs to make that call. 'That's what it kind of comes down to,' Parsons said. 'He gives the green light. He's the owner. He's pretty much what it takes to get anything done anywhere around here. It's up to him. 'But I'm going to still keep playing football. I'm going to keep showing up and preparing like any other year.' Why can't the call come from Parsons? 'Nah,' he responded. 'Next question.' Micah Parsons — Jon Machota (@jonmachota) June 10, 2025 Parsons is in the final year of his rookie contract. His next deal is expected to make him the NFL's highest-paid defensive end. Cleveland's Myles Garrett currently holds that title after signing a four-year, $160 million extension in March. Other top pass rushers seeking new deals, like Pittsburgh's T.J. Watt and Cincinnati's Trey Hendrickson, did not attend their minicamps on Tuesday. 'Some people like to take their time more than others,' Parsons said. 'You can't rush the process. (Jones) wants the deal to go as cleanly as possible. I want the deal to go as cleanly as possible. It's just about getting it done as cleanly and quickly as possible.' Even if a contract isn't finalized by the time the Cowboys depart for training camp in California, Parsons said he will be in attendance. Recently, Cowboys star players like wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and former right guard Zack Martin didn't attend the start of training camp while trying to get new contracts. 'I got my house,' Parsons said. 'It's already set and done so I'll be in Oxnard. Me, my kids, my family, we'll be there.' On the practice field? 'Yeah, I'll be out there,' he said. Practicing? 'We'll see,' Parsons responded. 'Time will tell.' Advertisement Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer has praised Parsons for how he has handled his contract situation. A mostly new coaching staff in Dallas puts even more pressure on the Cowboys to get something done so their best defensive player is practicing and can hit the ground running when the season starts. 'I think it's important (to be here),' said Parsons, who was wearing a play-call wrist band. 'Just building the knowledge of the defense, understanding what (new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus) and them are trying to do. Very dynamic scheme. I'm pretty excited about it, just going through a couple of installs and a couple of plays with the guys.' The relationship between Parsons and Schottenheimer was recently on display, via a popular social media trend, calling the head coach to wish him 'goodnight.' We're winning something with Brian Schottenheimer — MartinTalkCowboys (@DAK_4_MVP) June 8, 2025 'I was really kinda pissed off at my kids to be honest with you,' Schottenheimer said. 'I called my son, Sutton, and said, 'Bud, you got to look out for Dad. I don't know these things.' I just thought he missed me. I literally was like, 'That's cool man. The guy reached out to check in and see what's going on.' Then I saw it and I was like, 'Damn, I fell for it.' So I got on my kids, my daughter, I was like, 'I don't do much of that social media stuff.' But he got me pretty good.' Why didn't Parsons try the same prank on Jones? 'Truth be told, I might have called him,' Parsons joked. 'He didn't answer.' (Photo of Micah Parsons: Perry Knotts / Getty Images)

George Floyd unrest informs Trump's response to Los Angeles protests
President Donald Trump's response to the Los Angeles protests isn't just an opportunity to battle with a Democratic governor over his signature issue. The president sees it as a chance to redo his first-term response to a wave of civil unrest. As protests broke out after the killing of George Floyd in 2020, Trump's instincts were to deploy thousands of active-duty troops across U.S. cities. But some administration officials resisted the idea and reportedly urged the president against invoking the Insurrection Act to do so. Five years later, Trump sees something familiar as protests rage across Los Angeles in response to the administration's immigration raids. He moved quickly to deploy 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines to support law enforcement, a decision he credited on Tuesday with preventing a 'great City' from 'burning to the ground.' And he repeatedly signaled his willingness to invoke the Insurrection Act if protests continue to escalate. There's a chief motivating factor driving Trump's aggressive response: The president is eager to avoid a repeat of the summer of protest that followed a Minneapolis police officer's killing of Floyd. The civil unrest added another layer to the turmoil facing Trump, as the country reeled from the Covid pandemic and voters prepared to return to the ballot box. And this time, he has stacked his Cabinet with loyalists and is less restrained by officials such as those in his first administration who feared deploying active-duty military troops would further inflame tensions and be viewed as a step toward martial law. 'The president is trusting his gut here,' said a person close to the White House, granted anonymity to discuss the president's response, reflecting back to former Chair of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley and former Defense Secretary Mark Esper breaking with Trump's desire to send troops. 'He thinks the Milleys and the Espers of the world, five years ago, they gave him bad advice on that stuff.' Administration officials and allies say the president's hardline approach also sends a warning to other city and state leaders as anti-ICE protests spread beyond Los Angeles. 'In 2020, I was a governor of a neighboring state to Tim Walz and watched him let his city burn,' Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in the Oval Office on Tuesday. 'The president and I have talked about this in the past: He was not going to let that happen to another city and to another community, where a bad governor made a bad decision.' It's yet another example of the president acting on his belief that he has a governing mandate from his 2024 comeback, which aides and allies attribute in large part to immigration and, specifically, the president's vow to deport undocumented immigrants. 'Is the left going to be able to take this over and turn rules-based immigration into yet another fight about how America is racist?' said Matt Schlapp, a Trump confidant and chair of the American Conservative Union. 'The No. 1 reason Donald Trump got reelected was the border. He's implementing exactly what he said he would do, and out of nowhere, there's violence in the streets, there's fire bombs, there's attacks on cops.' A White House official, granted anonymity to discuss the administration's thinking, said immigration enforcement has continued across the country despite the protests: 'Individuals in other cities should realize that rioting will not prevent immigration enforcement operations in their cities as well.' Trump has repeatedly referred to the protesters as 'insurrectionists' and 'violent insurrectionist mobs,' and his rhetoric intensified on Tuesday as he said the protests amount to an 'invasion' that threatens U.S. 'sovereignty' and that he will now allow 'an American city to be invaded and conquered by a foreign enemy.' He condemned what he called 'lawlessness' and the burning of the American flag, suggesting it should be punished with a year in prison — echoing his rhetoric from June 2020. But he also said the Los Angeles protests are not yet an insurrection — and that he will only invoke the Insurrection Act, which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement, if it escalates to that point. The president on Sunday directed Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi to take 'all such action necessary to liberate Los Angeles' and 'put an end to these Migrant riots.' 'Mark Esper fought like the dickens to avoid the Insurrection Act. He wasn't the only one. So did Attorney General [Bill] Barr, and so forth,' said Ken Cuccinelli, who served as Trump's deputy of Homeland Security during the first term. 'Whereas, Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth are more along the lines of just giving advice, and 'if it's the route you want to go, Mr. President, we'll salute and we'll move right down that path.' And that speaks to a unity in government that didn't exist in the first term.' The Trump administration's response has alarmed California Democrats, who warn that what's happening in their state paves the way for the president to deploy the military nationwide to enact his immigration agenda. The president has already militarized the border to an unprecedented degree, with military, immigration and legal experts questioning the legality of the approach and warning of potential violations to the Posse Comitatus Act, a federal law that generally prohibits active-duty troops from being used in domestic law enforcement. Trump's decision to deploy troops has also set off a legal firestorm: California sued the administration for deploying the National Guard without consultation, arguing that using the military to quell the immigration protests is illegal and unconstitutional. Gov. Gavin Newsom filed another suit on Tuesday, asking a federal judge for a restraining order to block Hegseth from ordering troops to support immigration raids in the city 'immediately.' 'There is no invasion or rebellion in Los Angeles; there is civil unrest that is no different from episodes that regularly occur in communities throughout the country, and that is capable of being contained by state and local authorities working together,' California Attorney General Rob Bonta and other lawyers wrote in the new motion. Rallies protesting the administration's ICE raids and immigration agenda spread across U.S. cities this week. And so-called 'No Kings' rallies, coinciding with the president's military parade in Washington on Saturday, are planned in more than 1,800 cities across the country, including the nation's capital. Trump warned on Tuesday that any protests during this weekend's parade will be met with 'very heavy force.' 'If there's any protester who wants to come out, they will be met with very big force,' the president said in the Oval Office. 'I haven't even heard about a protest, but [there are] people that hate our country.' Dasha Burns contributed to this report.
