Micah Parsons News
The Dallas Cowboys officially picked up hybrid defensive end Micah Parsons' fifth-year option for the 2025 season on Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the move. Parsons' salary is worth $21.32 million as a defensive end, which is the position at which he played the majority of his snaps in 2023. The 24-year-old former 12th overall pick in 2021 out of Penn State has been a beast rushing the passer so far in his first three NFL seasons. He's made the Pro Bowl in all three seasons and has a total of 213 tackles (142 solo), 40.5 sacks, 51 tackles for loss, 89 QB hits, eight passes defended, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) in 50 regular-season starts. Parsons had 64 tackles and a career-high 14 sacks in 2023 and will once again be a highly coveted pass-rusher in IDP fantasy formats this fall.
The Dallas Cowboys have picked up All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons' fifth-year option as a defensive end, even though he's listed as a pass-rushing linebacker on the team's depth charts. As a result, Parsons will earn $21.32 million in 2025 as a defensive end, instead of the $24 million he would have been paid if he had been tagged as a linebacker. The 24-year-old former first-round pick in 2021 out of Penn State has been a Pro Bowler in each of his first three NFL seasons and had another big year in 2023, recording 64 tackles (36 solo), a career-high 14 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, 33 QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 17 regular-season starts. The former Defensive Rookie of the Year finished as the No. 10 defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats and should once again be targeted as a starting defensive lineman in those formats this fall.
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (illness) will play in Sunday's NFC East showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles. The 24-year-old was under the weather. But he's good to go, which was expected all along. Parsons has 11.5 sacks this year, so his presence isn't good news for Jalen Hurts and the rest of the Eagles' offense. Of course, IDP managers should keep the 2021 No. 12 overall pick starting in all formats.
