Another Elite Edge Rusher Could Shake Up the NFL Trade Market
Myles Garrett’s Trade Request Sparks Chaos
The NFL trade market is heating up, and elite pass rushers are at the center of the storm. First, Myles Garrett stunned the league by reportedly requesting a trade out of Cleveland. Now, the Dallas Cowboys are facing internal discussions about potentially moving their own defensive superstar—Micah Parsons. According to NFL Network insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, while no formal trade talks have taken place, the idea of dealing Parsons has been discussed within the Cowboys organization.
Micah Parsons’ Future in Dallas is Uncertain
At just 25 years old, Parsons is already one of the most dominant defensive players in the league. With 52.5 sacks in four seasons, he has consistently terrorized opposing quarterbacks and solidified himself as a game-changing force. Yet, despite his undeniable talent, questions are emerging about whether Dallas is willing to commit a massive long-term contract to him.
Pelissero and Rapoport reported that Cowboys leadership is weighing the financial impact of keeping so much money tied up in a small number of players. Team COO Stephen Jones previously stated that it was hard to imagine Parsons wearing anything but a Cowboys jersey. However, the fact that internal discussions about a potential trade have surfaced raises eyebrows about his future with the team.
Potential Trade Scenarios Are Emerging
If the Cowboys decide to entertain offers, they could receive a historic trade haul in return. Teams across the league would line up for the chance to acquire Parsons, and one intriguing possibility is the San Francisco 49ers. A package involving star receiver Deebo Samuel and multiple first-round picks could be enough to entice Dallas into making a blockbuster deal.
With Parsons still years away from his prime, moving him would be a shocking move—but one that could reshape the balance of power in the NFL. If the Cowboys are truly considering this, it might not be long before another franchise makes them an offer they can’t refuse.
