When it comes to how you act while you are negotiating a contract extension in the NFL, there are several schools of thought.
One can choose to show up and participate regardless of what is going on around them. Others can opt to not be present at mandatory events and be willing to incur fines as a result. This is the path that T.J. Watt and Trey Hendrickson, two of the NFL’s best pass rushers, took this week.
This is all relevant for Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons as he is in the middle of contract negotiations himself.
