Micah Parsons is about to be at the peak of his career. However, as contract negotiations drag on, the Cowboys risk losing the loyalty of their defensive cornerstone.

When the Dallas Cowboys took the field for their first practice of training camp Tuesday in Oxnard, California, All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons was with his teammates. That's notable because the 26-year-old still doesn't have a contract extension ahead of the final year of his rookie deal in 2025.

Micah Parsons, a two-time first team All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler through four seasons, is entering the final year of his rookie contract. He is a cornerstone player the Cowboys should re-sign and build around, yet instead, the franchise has once again dilly-dallied on extending another star player.
