Just over two weeks remain until the Cowboys kick off the season against the Eagles, but the team has yet to sign star outside linebacker Micah Parsons to a contract extension.<\/p>\n

Parsons has been seeking a new deal heading into the final year of his rookie contract. He has continued to show up to training camp\u2014rather than hold out\u2014as he awaits this deal, but as of last week,\u00a0no progress has been made. Parsons expressed frustration with the lack of a new deal when he\u00a0requested a trade on Aug. 1, but\u00a0Dallas is not considering trading him.<\/p>\n

As the season approaches, Cowboys legend and ESPN commentator Aikman weighed in on the Parsons situation during the broadcast of the Commanders-Bengals preseason matchup on Monday.<\/p>\n

“Without Micah Parsons, I just don\u2019t think they\u2019re gonna be able to slow anybody down,” Aikman said. “He\u2019s a total game wrecker and he\u2019s proven that and he\u2019s certainly worth every penny that he\u2019s ultimately gonna get paid. The longer it goes, the more money he\u2019s going to make, so I wouldn\u2019t stress too much if I was him.”<\/em><\/p>\n
