FRISCO, Texas — Micah Parsons was absent from the Dallas Cowboys’ organized team activities Tuesday, continuing a pattern of non-attendance over the previous two weeks as he pursues a new contract. Is that disappointing?

The Cowboys, for better or for worse, have a history of dragging their feet with contract extensions and waiting until the last minute to strike a deal. Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report called out people believing Parsons' absence is problematic as one of the "biggest overreactions" of OTAs.

Stephen Jones, in a session with the media here inside The Star on Tuesday, fielded a handful of Micah Parsons-related questions. The questions are legitimate. But yes, also sort of exhausting.
