On Sunday morning, NFL Network reported that the Cowboys are not ruling out trading Parsons to another team in the offseason. Micah Parsons said to Jon Machota of The Athletic after the game about those trade rumors:

“I understand how that business side goes. There are no hard feelings in this business, whether I’m here or anywhere else. Obviously I’ve stated that I want to be here. But at the end of the day, I understand the business side.

I’ve put in a lot of work, I’ve played hard too, so obviously if sides can’t agree to those type of things, it happens like that. But I’m just happy to be here. I’m just gonna keep playing hard while I’m here. If I’m here for the next 5-6 years, I’m gonna keep playing hard then too. Ain’t nothing really gonna make a difference, Micah is gonna play hard.”

Micah Parsons’s fifth-year option for the 2025 season was picked up, but 2025 will be the final year of his rookie contract. It would be interesting to see which team would call to potentially acquire the Dallas Cowboys superstar. Parsons is 25 years old. He was the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Penn State.

Dallas has already signed quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to long-term contract extensions. Shockingly, owner Jerry Jones has not yet signed Micah Parsons to a contract extension.

There would be a lot of upset Cowboys fans if Parsons was traded this offseason. He is by far the best defensive player on Dallas’s roster. This is a story worth watching during the NFL offseason.
