Cowboys' Parsons Buys Mom New Home in Dallas
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons recently made good on a promise to this mother with his new NFL contract.
The Cowboys' 2021 first-round pick out of Penn State, who will get $17 million guaranteed over his four-year rookie deal (including a $9 million signing bonus and a team option for Year 5), used some of that money to purchase his mother a brand new home in the Dallas area.
Parsons, 22, posted a short video loop on his Instagram account Saturday evening of him and his mother, Sherese, in front of the beautiful home. The video included the caption, "Welcome mom this. All for you."

In a conversation with BroBible before the draft, Parsons spoke about the importance of giving back to his mother, who sacrificed so much for him as a child, which oftentimes meant having to move around a lot.
“I want to finally get my own house, clear my mom’s debt, I moved a lot when I was younger and if I could put me and my mother into our own home and have something to call ours, it would be amazing.”
It's always a beautiful sight to see when players get the opportunity to give back to their parents after all of their hard work has resulted in a contract to play professional sports.
Congratulations to Parsons and his mother on this wonderful moment.
