Since Micah Parsons and his representation with the Dallas Cowboys will probably be a contract negotiation of the record contract, the conversation about Parsons is not just about the numbers. There are underlying questions about his leadership, which could play a role in how both parties approach confidently.

In a recently carried out episode of Inside Coverage, insightful discussions have emphasized these concerns. Jori Epstein, senior of the Yahoo Sports Senior NFL writer, highlighted the expectations of Parsons' potential contract. With the changes in the market that other non-quarters backs like Ja'marr Chase and Myles Garrett ensure strong shops, Parsons observe an important payday. The numbers are breathtaking, and discussions indicate that he could lead over $ 40 million per season as potentially the highest paid non-quarters in NFL history.

However, it is not just a financial decision for the cowboys. Epstein pointed out that there are considerations outside the field, which touched Parsons' leadership qualities. This came to the fore when Parsons' public disagreement with the former teammate Demarcus Lawrence mentioned. This raised the eyebrows to the lead over his approach.

“I think you have to ask yourself some of the questions outside the field about Micah Parsons, leadership, etc.. Do you have the feeling that you can trust him that he will be your husband for the next four to five years and really pulls the weight and is involved?” Asked Epstein.

“I mean, I think we even saw a little bit of it when he decided to publicly get involved with Demarcus Lawrence. I also think that the entry into this spit points out that you really want your leader to do this?

Despite these concerns, there is an unmistakable pressure to keep Parsons within the organization. Owner Jerry Jones sees him as a cornerstone, someone has promoted the 12th selection in the NFL design, and he is determined not to leave it out. This shows an internal debate in the cowboys, between which the risks of such a significant financial commitment and those who want to keep their locals.

While Parsons is negotiating what a contract for historical production could be, it is clear that his leader is checked as well as his services in the field. How the cowboys solve these considerations is crucial to determine whether Parsons not only secure the coveted deal, but also becomes a permanent leader for the team.
