Dallas Cowboys All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons has hit a boiling point with the organization due to stalled talks about his contract, which has led him to submit a trade request. On Friday, Parsons stated he had personally contacted Cowboys COO and EVP Stephen Jones regarding the matter. Parsons, 26, had been optimistic about a long-term extension after initiating discussions during a one-on-one meeting on January 10. However, the lack of progress, compounded by public exchanges of barbs with the organization, has made him feel uncertain about his financial future with the Cowboys.
In a tweet expressing gratitude toward Dallas, Parsons wrote, “Thank you Dallas 馃馃憫 馃檹馃従!” showing his emotional investment in the team.
Should the Cowboys choose to honor Parsons’ request, they might receive significant compensation in return, including multiple first-round picks, considering his record of having 12 or more sacks in each of his first four seasons, a feat unmatched since individual sack tracking began in 1982.
The article also explores potential teams where Parsons could land, focusing on those teams with adequate salary cap space to absorb his fifth-year option of $24.007 million while also identifying their respective 2025 cap space, such as the New England Patriots ($59.937 million), Los Angeles Chargers ($31.499 million), and others.
