Micah Parsons commits to camp and sends clear signal to Jerry Jones
On June 3, Micah Parsons confirmed on social media that he would not miss the upcoming minicamp. Many fans and reporters were unsure about his plans due to the unresolved contract extension.
However, Micah Parsons shut down any doubts with a firm and honest post.
He wrote, 'I will be there! I haven't missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook! I'm preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it's in the owner's hands. I'm ready to win a Super Bowl!'
The message shows Micah Parsons' loyalty to his team and desire to play. At the same time, his line 'it's in the owner's hands' clearly points toward Jerry Jones, leaving the pressure on him to finalize the deal.
Contract talks continue with no update from the Dallas Cowboys
Micah Parsons is widely expected to receive a new contract worth around $40 million per year, according to NFL.com. This would place him among the highest-paid defensive players in NFL history.
Reports say that Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones have met in person at least three times to discuss the deal, but there has been no news in over six weeks. The Dallas Cowboys have not shared any official update.
Training camp is expected to begin in late July, which Micah Parsons has said is his personal deadline. For now, he's focused on practice, and the ball is in Jerry Jones' court.

'Go somewhere and chew on bark': Terry Bradshaw's savage message to Aaron Rodgers amid the No. 12 Jersey debate
Aaron Rodgers' arrival in Pittsburgh has stirred more than just excitement, it's sparked a heated debate over his jersey number. The iconic No. 12, forever synonymous with Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw, remains untouchable in the eyes of many. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Adding fuel to the fire, Bradshaw himself delivered a sharp message to Rodgers to 'go somewhere and chew on bark,' turning the No. 12 jersey battle into one of the NFL's most talked-about controversies. Why Aaron Rodgers may never wear Steelers' No. 12 The Steelers' No. 12 is more than just a number. Once donned by the incomparable Terry Bradshaw, a four-time Super Bowl champion and Pittsburgh legend, No. 12 carries weight that few other jerseys can claim. Though the Steelers haven't officially retired the number, they effectively treat it as untouchable. This unofficial retirement isn't just about respect, it's about protecting a legacy. Bradshaw, for his part, hasn't exactly rolled out the welcome mat. His biting remark 'That guy needs to stay in California. Go somewhere and chew on bark and whisper to the gods out there' wasn't just for laughs. It captured the sentiment of a fan base wary of Rodgers stepping into a tradition-rich franchise that guards its icons closely. Why Terry Bradshaw Says Aaron Rodgers Can Go "Chew on Bark" | E! News Interestingly, Rodgers once had the chance to wear No. 12 with the New York Jets, a number famously worn by Joe Namath. Namath even gave Rodgers his blessing. Yet Rodgers declined. With Bradshaw's clear opposition and the Steelers' reverence for the number, Rodgers is unlikely to wear No. 12 on the Steelers. The obvious alternative is No. 8, a number with its own Steelers history through quarterbacks Tommy Maddox and current starter Kenny Pickett. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, to claim No. 8, Rodgers would need to negotiate with punter Corliss Waitman, the current holder. Rodgers could break away from tradition entirely and choose a new number, signaling a new era for himself in Pittsburgh. That would be a bold statement, reinventing not just his jersey but his identity in a town famous for holding tight to its football heritage. Also Read: At the end of the day, Rodgers' jersey number may seem like a small detail, but it reveals the larger cultural clash brewing between a superstar quarterback known for blazing his own trail and a team rooted in decades of unyielding tradition. Whether Rodgers embraces the Steelers' legacy or carves out his own path, the drama over No. 12 is only just beginning and it's a story every NFL fan will want to watch unfold.

Cincinnati Bengals' $550 million offense returns for 2025 NFL season with Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins under playoff pressure
Bengals' offense under pressure in 2025 (Image via: Getty Images) The Cincinnati Bengals are back in 2025 with one of the most dangerous offenses in the NFL on paper. With Joe Burrow under center, Ja'Marr Chase on the outside, and Tee Higgins lining up opposite him, the Bengals have invested over $550 million into a star-studded offensive core that should dominate the league. But after two straight playoff misses, the heat is officially on. Burrow's MVP stats weren't enough to save Cincinnati's playoff hopes Joe Burrow had a monster 2024 season, throwing for 4,918 yards and 43 touchdowns. Those are MVP-caliber numbers by any standard. Chase continued to be a nightmare for defenders, and Higgins held strong as one of the league's best WR2s. Together, the trio makes up the highest-paid offensive unit in the NFL. But the Bengals still went 9-8 and missed the playoffs, finishing third in the AFC North. Despite an offense built to win now, the results have fallen short. This repeated outcome has left fans frustrated and raised serious questions about the team's ability to perform when it matters most. Joe Burrow shares why Bengals missed the playoffs, does he owe the team another run? | THE FACILITY While the offense has dazzled, Cincinnati's defense has crumbled. In 2024, the Bengals ranked 25th in points allowed and 25th in total yards allowed, numbers that cancel out any offensive firepower. Burrow can light up the scoreboard, but if the defense can't hold, it doesn't matter. To make matters trickier, Trey Hendrickson, the team's best defensive player still doesn't have a new contract. It seems like the Bengals are all-in on their offense, hoping the defense will improve on its own. But so far, that hope hasn't turned into results. This season isn't just another shot for the Bengals, it's a turning point. With a stacked roster, massive contracts, and mounting expectations, another playoff miss could trigger big changes. The front office, the coaching staff, and even this core group of stars could come under fire. Also Read: Steelers hosting free agent wide receiver Gabe Davis for visit amid George Pickens trade fallout The 2025 NFL season will either prove Cincinnati's strategy right or expose it as one of the most expensive disappointments in recent league history, putting the Bengals' playoff hopes and roster investments under intense pressure.

Aaron Judge just ended 2017 Andrew Benintendi debate with one legendary statline
Aaron Judge just ended 2017 Andrew Benintendi debate with one legendary statline (Image via Getty) Back in 2017, a comparison was made between two of the best rookie players in baseball- Andrew Benintendi of the Boston Red Sox and Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees. At that time, one well-known columnist chose Benintendi over Judge for the future. Eight years later, the numbers and career paths show a very different picture. Aaron Judge proves 2017 critics wrong with historic rise over Andrew Benintendi On August 21, 2017, a column published in The Boston Globe favored Andrew Benintendi over Aaron Judge as the better long-term pick. The writer pointed to their head-to-head matchups that season. In their first 15 games against each other, Benintendi had better results: 4 home runs and 12 RBIs, while Judge hit just .155 with 1 home run and 2 RBIs against the Red Sox. Benintendi was thought to be a powerful all-round performer at the time. During the 2018 ALCS versus the Houston Astros, he had already made a significant contribution by making a critical catch that enabled the Red Sox to win the series and afterward the World Series. Boston had Aaron Judge five seasons before he was dealt to the Kansas City Royals in February 2021. In 2022, he was subsequently chosen to be an All-Star. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Benintendi inked a five-year, $75 million contract with the Chicago White Sox in 2023. That season turned bad, though, as the club lost 121 games. Although not quite elite, Benintendi is a good hitter with a career average of .269 as of the moment. Also Read: Aaron Judge Breaks Century-Old Unbelievable Record Beating Mantle Gehrig And Hornsby In Epic Chase Aaron Judge's rise to greatness over Andrew Benintendi Aaron Judge, meanwhile, has developed into of the most well-known players in baseball. The Yankees' captain, two-time MVP, and six-time All-Star is presently 33 years old. Breaking the American League record, he hit 62 home runs in 2022. In 2023, he had 58 home runs, 144 RBIs, and a.322 average. Leading the league in several areas, batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, and total bases, Judge is set to do so in 2025. He is on course to have the greatest slugging season since Babe Ruth as of June. Judge honestly accepted culpability and vowed to bounce back stronger even after a critical mistake in Game 5 of the 2024 World Series.
