The NFL offseason marches on as teams enter the second week of organized team activities (OTAs). After this week is through, teams will be back in action with the start of minicamps, the first mandatory part of the offseason.
It's not surprising for players to not be on the field for OTAs, but minicamp is another story. Players can be subject to fines for time missed.
One of the biggest storylines entering minicamps is the future of Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is looking to get an extension done with the team to secure his future in Dallas.
He made it known a week from minicamp that he will not be missing the mandatory part of offseason training.
"I will be there!" Parsons wrote in a post on X on June 3. "I haven’t missed a mini camp in 4 years! Even though the contract is not done, I have teammates and a playbook! I’m preparing as if I will be on the field the first week of camp! But it’s in the owner’s hands. I’m ready to win a Super Bowl!"
