The former 2020 sixth-round pick last took regular season snaps in 2022. Adeniji spent the 2023 season serving as a part-time special teams player, and although he was technically on the Browns’ 2024 roster, he missed the full season on injured reserve. Adeniji will likely handle a deep-backup/special teams role in Dallas this year.

It’s a sign of good faith by Parsons, who is entering the final year of his deal but hopes to sign a lucrative extension with the Cowboys before the start of the season. The star pass rusher totaled 43 tackles and 12 sacks last season while being limited to just 13 games due to injury. Arguably the best pass rusher in the league, Parsons will likely land a record-setting deal whenever he does sign an extension.

On Saturday, Prescott declared that he “could play today” if he had to, now four months removed from hamstring surgery. Monday’s workouts should provide clarity as to the comment’s veracity. New head coach Brian Schottenheimer could have begun voluntary workouts last week, an opportunity shared by all first-year head coaches, but Schotty instead chose to delay the process. Doing so, perhaps, to provide his quarterback with an extra week of prep time—or, maybe, it was to give the front office one last chance to sign Micah Parsons to a record-setting megadeal before team activities begin. Fantasy managers, stay tuned.

The Cowboys begin voluntary workouts on Monday. Parsons frequently skips “portions” of these events, which has been a point of contention with the team at times. Late in the 2024 season, he reportedly stated that he planned to attend them this year, perhaps as a sign of good faith. Parsons is scheduled to hit free agency after the 2025 season and expects to sign a record-setting contract before the season begins. His attendance, or lack thereof, could give us an indication as to how the negotiations are proceeding.
