The Cowboys have offered to make Micah Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, Clarence Hill of All City DLLS reports.
Parsons and owner Jerry Jones have agreed on the deal, per Hill, which would surpass the contracts recently signed by Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett and Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase.
The Cowboys, though, did not include Parsons’ agent in the talks, and Parsons will not sign without David Mulugheta’s approval. Mulugheta and the Cowboys have had no talks since the NFL Scouting Combine, according to Hill.
Garrett’s annual average of $40 million is the highest for an NFL defender, and Chase became the highest-paid non-quarterback with an annual average of $40.25 million.
