Dallas Cowboys superstar Micah Parsons knows what will make him the happiest man alive.
Speaking with Clarence Hill of All City DLLS, Parsons said he isn’t concerned with his contract situation despite “real talks” between Dallas and Parsons’ agent, David Mulegheta, yet to begin. But there is a figure that will make Parsons’ happy.
“I just played these last couple years on $2 [million] and $3 million,” Parsons said. “I think if I had $40 million, I’d be the happiest man alive. You go from playing for the league rookie minimum and get that big of a jump, I think anybody would be happy.”
With Myles Garrett and Ja’Marr Chase resetting the market for non-quarterbacks at more than $40 million, it safe to expect Parsons will top the $40.25 million yearly average of Chase.
Parsons played last season for a base salary of $2.989 million and is scheduled to play 2025 on the fifth-year option of $24.07 million.
