Report: Micah Parsons is in attendance for Cowboys voluntary workouts
Cowboys start voluntary workouts, Micah Parsons is there
The Dallas Cowboys window for voluntary workouts is now open. Given they have a new head coach in Brian Schottenheimer, the team can get a head start compared to some other franchises around the league.
The biggest question heading into Monday was whether or not All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons would be in attendance given on-going contract negotiations. Turns out Parsons is a man of his word.
The Cowboys open the voluntary offseason program and a source said Micah Parsons is in attendance, as Brian Schottenheimer said he expected. In the previous 2 years, Parsons mostly worked out on his own before OTAs, minicamp. He is entering the 5th-year option of his rookie deal.

For the last few seasons, Parsons has chosen to skip voluntary workouts in favor of his personal training routine. There’s nothing wrong with that given the true meaning of “voluntary.” These workouts are completely optional for the players to participate, but it certainly looks better if all team leaders are present.
Parsons has openly spoke about being a better leader for the defense, and that is needed given DeMarcus Lawrence’s absence has left a void in that role.
A month ago, Parsons said he would be at the workouts to be around free agents and eventual rookies who are new to the team. This is also a sign of good faith to owner Jerry Jones when it comes to an eventual contract extension. At the owners meetings a few weeks ago, Jones said he does not feel a sense of urgency to get a deal done with his franchise star, wanting to see “a few more cards played.”
