When a prominent NFL player wants a new deal, you can bet that skipping offseason activities could be in play. This week, the Dallas Cowboys are keeping focus on their edge rusher, Micah Parsons, who just might be a skip candidate when mandatory minicamp fires up on Tuesday.

Parsons' presence is nonetheless significant because of his contract situation. While he is expected to sign a longterm deal at some point this offseason, Parsons, at this point, is still slated to play under his fifth-year option that was picked up by the team last spring.
