If Micah Parsons would have stayed away from the Dallas Cowboys' offseason program, it would have been understandable.

Parsons, the Cowboys' star edge rusher and one of the best players in the NFL, has been waiting patiently for a new contract. One of the few points of leverage he has is a holdout.

But Parsons isn't going that route, at least as the Cowboys' voluntary workouts start. Parsons was at the start of the Cowboys' workouts on Monday, according to Clarence Hill Jr. of DLLS Sports.

It's a good faith gesture by Parsons, who will likely get a contract that could match or exceed the four-year, $160 million deal Myles Garrett signed with the Cleveland Browns this offseason. Parsons will make a little more than $24 million this season after the Cowboys picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, but he wants a longer (and bigger) deal after dominating for his first four NFL seasons.
