Recently, the star LB appeared on a &#8220;Six Feet Under&#8221; Podcast with WWE superstar The Undertaker. During an interview, when Undertaker asked him about the most-awaited contract extension, Parsons called out Jerry Jones for dragging his feet and making him wait. His voice seemed full of frustration and helplessness after saying he was expecting the extension deal last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Micah Parsons\u2019 Contract Extension Date Seemingly Confirmed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_240135\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-240135\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-240135\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_25120525_168400545_lowres-1024x664.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_25120525_168400545_lowres-1024x664.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_25120525_168400545_lowres-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_25120525_168400545_lowres-768x498.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_25120525_168400545_lowres-1536x995.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/07\/USATSI_25120525_168400545_lowres-2048x1327.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-240135\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jan 5, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (11) celebrates after a sack during the first quarter against the Washington Commanders at AT&amp;T Stadium.

Watt is also in the Steelers\u2019 line to get his deal done. The simple reason behind this rumor was that the Cowboys and Micah himself want to become the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.
