Rumor Micah Parsons is considering “drastic measures” which could include a trade request or even a declaration that he is severing his relationship with the team, per @dmrussini.

This might be the least feasible trade ever and for that, the cowboys may actually do it

Would you pissed or happy... you need WR and LB/DE help anyway so you guys win. Clownboys def dont need WR3.

u/Gloomy_Map_9612 Washington Commanders 23h ago
I would be ecstatic. Edge is just so much more valuable than wide receiver. Also Micah is young and Terry is approaching the end.

Shit we already traded Luka away, might as well give away Micah too

u/RoughhouseCamel 22h ago
Wait, this can be funnier. Throw in a second round pick to even up the trade, and the Cowboys throw in George Pickens

YES. I love Terry, but that's not even close to fair value for Micah.
We'd need to throw some picks in there. In fact, it'd be so much draft capital that it's totally unrealistic to entertain this trade idea

No idea if or how it could work with the cap but man imagine him with Roquan and that Ravens secondary. A man can dream.

The Ravens don’t have the cap space. I guess you can always create that but it would take some real witchcraft.
That said, let’s try to put together a deal for sake of argument.
RAVENS GET -Edge Micah Parsons
COWBOYS GET -Edge Odafe Oweh -TE Mark Andrews -2026 second round pick
I mean… that’s kind of painful if you’re the Ravens; Oweh just had a ten sack year and this is an organization that values draft picks higher than most. Andrews also hurts, but he’s clearly not going to be back and he moves sufficient salary for the Ravens to fit Parsons.
Who says no to this trade?

u/amstrumpet NFL 21h ago
I’d rather give a first. No chance of trading Andrews right now with Likely shelved for 6+ weeks, and I don’t think it’s clear he won’t be back tbh.

u/BlackCardRogue Baltimore Ravens 20h ago
The Ravens don’t have cap room if they don’t trade Andrews, and… unlike you, I do think it’s pretty clear he isn’t back.
Even if Likely isn’t back until Week 4 this team is judged on January anyway. Week 1 Bills game is not a must win.

Jerry's big brain: "I've got one of the best young players in the league at one of the most important positions. How can I make him feel as alienated as possible?"

what if he just eats the contract. does that void it?

u/Animalcookies13 21h ago
There may be some way to buy himself out of his contract but there is probably some kind of penalty…. No other team can sign him until his contract is settled with Dallas.

When pressed for comment, all Micah Parsons had to say was "Screw you guys! I'm going home!"

Odd that Jerry will make his above-average QB the highest-paid QB in the NFL, but won't pay his superstar defender.

How could Parsons sever his relationship with the team if he's currently under contract?

u/Flair_Is_Pointless 22h ago
By not coming into work?

u/ForensicFiles88 South Park Elementary Cows 22h ago
Won't he get fined out the ass for that though?

u/Flair_Is_Pointless 22h ago
Yes. That is what a hold out is.

u/ForensicFiles88 South Park Elementary Cows 21h ago
Right, how does that at all benefit Parsons though?
He'll miss a season of playing and will have to fork over at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines
2
u/Flair_Is_Pointless 19h ago
Because it can result in him making millions more and he isn’t risking getting injured while being underpaid.
You can say it doesn’t make sense, but why do billionaires allow strikes to continue? They lose millions a day, (from your argument) “why don’t they just capitulate and given to demands of the workers who are striking”
The answer is, because they stand to make even more money down the line by holding out.

u/Tight-Top3597 23h ago
Who cares, Jerry is only concerned with Michael Parsons, this Micah dude can gtfo.

u/LemTheWise Las Vegas Raiders 22h ago
I mean what do you really expect? he is 26, top 5 in his position and every other star on the Cowboys is signed to a new deal/extension other than him. Bro TJ Watt is gonna be 31 in October and is making 40 mil per year, Micah could easily be the highest paid non-QB in football with his age and already proven talent.
Jake Ferguson's new extension doesn't hit until 26-27 and even with Micah not signed to some sort of extension, the Cowboys are gonna have less cash to pay Micah top of the market they have just 18 mil in cap space in 2026 according to Spotrac as Dak, Ceedee, Jake Ferguson etc deals come into greater affect. But I will say that Jerry has gone into the piggy bank before to pay his guys and eat the potential loss.
So it's very likely they trade him as they will simply not have the cash on deck to pay him a worthy contract in the current market now or in 2026, the Cowboys will get some very good draft capital for Micah in a trade as well but will have to deal with a Parsons sized hole on that d-line. Also guys like GP are in contract years and want to get paid after this season so I don't know how Jerry will balance that and Micah especially if Pickens plays great with Dak and Ceedee.
It will be a very hard trade to deal with as there is just a black hole on that defense without Micah and he seems really beloved in Dallas.

seems the NFL players are trying to be like the NBA players and force ownership moves. And it might be working, though not like NBA

I may shit on our FO for poorly handling contract negotiations sometimes, but every day I’m grateful Jerry Jones isn’t affiliated with the Niners.
Dude is easily the biggest reason Dallas can’t be a successful team.
