I think that’s a fair argument. If you don’t pay him, you spend the next decade trying to find someone as good as him. 

I would say he is an average run stopper and elite pass rusher.

The argument is pay him imo as the cap will continue to rise and in a few years the deal will be “average” for top players at the position.

Statistically Dallas has a different defence when he is on the field vs without. Even if he doesn’t stop the run he forces offences to game plan pass protection against him which opens up opportunities for other team members. Kinda like how a steph curry 3 point threat opens up the defence

Should the Cowboys make Parsons the highest paid non QB?
