NFL insider Ian Rapoport provided insight into the contract talks star cornerback Micah Parsons is having with the Cowboys.

Micah Parsons isn't holdout out. He's not griping. He's practicing and he's visiting with Jerry and he's instructing the Cowboys to cll his agent ... and Dak Prescott is keeping a watchful eye on the process.

While vice president Stephen Jones would push back on the idea, conventional wisdom is that the Dallas Cowboys have cost themselves money with their protracted negotiations with their top homegrown stars.
