Parsons to Garrett: I’ll TAKE A PAY CUT for a Cowboys Super Bowl!

Micah Parsons is practically begging Myles Garrett to join the Dallas Cowboys, even offering to sacrifice his own future earnings for a chance at a Super Bowl ring! But is this a genuine act of selflessness, or a calculated move by Parsons to become a bigger legend in Dallas?

Parsons’ Bold Offer: “Oh, 100%!”

With Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett recently requesting a trade[1][2], Parsons wasted no time in publicly recruiting the All-Pro to Dallas[1]. In an interview, Parsons declared he’d “100%” take less money in his upcoming contract negotiations to make a Parsons-Garrett Cowboys pass-rush duo a reality[1][2]. “Would he take less too? We definitely need to make that happen,” Parsons added[1].

### Dream Team or Financial Disaster?

The thought of Parsons and Garrett terrorizing opposing quarterbacks is enough to make any Cowboys fan drool[2]. The stats speak for themselves: Garrett is coming off another strong season with 47 tackles and 14 sacks, while Parsons totaled 43 tackles and 12 sacks[2]. Imagine how high those numbers could jump with offenses unable to focus on both players[2]!

However, the financial implications are staggering. Garrett has two years left on his five-year, $125 million contract[4]. The Cowboys already have significant money tied up in Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb[3]. Could they realistically afford both Garrett and a long-term extension for Parsons[3]?

Parsons’ Master Plan?

Is Parsons’ offer a genuine sacrifice for the good of the team, or is he playing 4D chess? By publicly offering to take less money, Parsons positions himself as a team-first player, potentially boosting his legacy and fan appeal. Some might see this as a savvy move to ensure he remains the face of the Cowboys franchise, even if it means sharing the spotlight (and the sack numbers) with Garrett.

### Garrett’s Decision Looms

Ultimately, the decision rests with Myles Garrett. Does he want to join forces with Parsons in Dallas and chase a Super Bowl ring, even if it means potentially limiting his own earning potential? Or will he prioritize the highest bidder, regardless of the team’s championship prospects?

Cowboys fans should hope Garrett stays out of the NFC, but they should want the Browns to receive an incredible haul, knowing that Parsons, if he were to get dealt, would bring back more[3].

One thing is certain: Parsons’ bold offer has set the NFL world on fire, and the coming weeks will be filled with speculation, rumors, and intense negotiations as the Cowboys attempt to assemble a Super Bowl-winning defense.
