With the Pittsburgh Steelers signing T.J. Watt to the richest contract for a non-quarterback, the NFC East can only sit back and laugh at the Dallas Cowboys odd decision to wait ... and wait ... and wait

Parsons pointed to other contracts as the basis for what he expects from the Cowboys. Myles Garrett agreed to a four-year extension averaging $40 million annually from the Cleveland Browns in March, while the Pittsburgh Steelers agreed this week to make edge rusher T.J. Watt the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

Micah Parsons knows how it all ends, this contract negotiation with the Dallas Cowboys stretching into a second year. He still wondered aloud why ownership is taking its time as the market jumps to new heights.
