CeeDee Lamb wasn’t the only Cowboys star who elected not to show up at The Star for the first day of the team’s offseason program, Todd Brock of USA Today's Cowboys Wire reports.

Edge rusher Micah Parsons was also nowhere to be found on Monday as teammates kicked off Phase One of the 2024 voluntary work sessions.

The 24-year-old did not join the team last year until OTAs began in late May, choosing instead to train on his own in the Austin area. Parsons spent that offseason adding several pounds of bulk to his frame in anticipation of a (mostly) full-time switch from off-the-ball linebacker to edge rusher.

This time around, the perennial Defensive Player of the Year finalist finds himself one of three Cowboys superstars wondering about their long-term employment status with the club. While Parsons is just three years into his rookie contract and scheduled to earn $2.99 million in base salary, he is eligible for a new deal that would bind him to the Cowboys for the foreseeable future.
