Another NFL shoe has dropped as yet another NFL holdout has re-signed with their team.
First, it was Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin who reupped with his team for a reported three-year $96 million contract.
Monday afternoon, it was announced that the Cincinnati Bengals' Trey Hendrickson will get paid $30 million, which is a $14 million raise this season.
Henderickson’s deal is for one year, however, and he can become a free agent next year. He is expected to play in the Bengals' season-opener.
So now all eyes turn to Dallas and Micah Parsons, who was reportedly in the building on Monday in Dallas, which is a good sign for Jerry Jones and Cowboys fans.
Several of Parsons' teammates believe he will play against the Philadelphia Eagles next week.
“I've got confidence," said quarterback Dak Prescott on Monday, according to Clarence Hill Jr. "I told y'all way back when. I'm just going off of experience, honestly, no different than mine. I've got confidence in that."
Prescott also said he has seen this movie before. He said he doesn’t read much into Parsons' body language in practice and at the preseason game. He knows Parsons is frustrated, but he has never had the prototypical best body language.
Prescott was in the same situation last year as Parsons is in this year, and he and Jones worked out a deal that made him a $60 million quarterback.
Cornerback Trevon Diggs also added that he thinks Parsons wants to play and stay in Dallas.
“Most definitely. He wants to be with us and help this team win,” said Diggs.“This is his home and family.”
We will see if both Diggs and Prescott’s predictions are right about Parsons and if he will remain in Dallas this season.
