FRISCO — Owner and general manager Jerry Jones held a nearly 25-minute conversation with star pass rusher Micah Parsons during the first day of Cowboys mandatory minicamp Tuesday. At times during the conversation, Jones was demonstrative with his arms as he talked to Parsons near the end zone of the grass practice field.

Parsons is waiting for Jones to budge on a contract that could exceed the highest non-quarterback deal in the NFL, currently Cincinnati receiver Ja’Marr Chase with a $40.25 million average per year. Cleveland edge rusher Myles Garrett recently agreed to a deal worth $40 million per year.
