Dallas was also proactive in re-signing right tackle Terence Steele, although that deal came with much more defined risk. Steele tore his ACL and MCL late in the 2022 season, but the Cowboys still signed him to a five-year, $82.5 million contract extension just before the start of the 2023 season, banking on him bouncing back.

Micah Parsons will participate in Dallas Cowboys training camp, avoiding a potential hold-in as the two-time All-Pro defensive end seeks a contract extension that would likely make him the highest-paid defender in NFL history.

Micah Parsons has yet to sign his presumed record-setting contract extension, and so in the meantime, the Cowboys have added some depth. They agreed to a deal with James Houston on Tuesday after he worked out for Dallas earlier in the week. Houston was a sixth-round pick by the Lions in 2022.
