Cowboys expect Micah Parsons at voluntary workouts amid negotiations

Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said he expects star Micah Parsons to take part in the team’s voluntary offseason workouts despite ongoing contract negotiations.The workouts begin Monday.The Dallas Morning News reported late last week that Parsons was seeking a record-setting $200 million contract extension that would make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. And while there had been thoughts that the pass rusher would hold out of team activities until a deal is done, Schottenheimer said at the NFL annual meeting in Florida that he didn’t think so.”Hey, look, at the end of the day this is a business and when you’re dealing with the money that’s being tossed around, not just with Micah but with the big-name players, negotiations sometimes take time,” the first-year coach said, per ESPN. “I feel very comfortable. Micah said he’s going to be around. I think that he wants to be. I think we’re all very comfortable with that.”With the departure of longtime defensive leader DeMarcus Lawrence, Parsons has a chance to fill that void.
