The Dallas Cowboys face a crucial offseason, and star linebacker Micah Parsons is at the center of discussions. With contract negotiations looming, speculation has surfaced about a potential blockbuster trade that could send the All-Pro defender to a division rival: The Philadelphia Eagles.
While a trade of this magnitude seems improbable, radio host Joe Giglio of 94WIP Midday Show has floated the idea. Giglio believes Parsons could be the defensive game-changer the Eagles need, even if it means paying a steep price.
“Parsons is my NFL Juan Soto,” he said. “I want him in Philadelphia at all costs.”
Could Micah Parsons Actually Be Traded?
The Cowboys have yet to finalize an extension for Parsons, despite his dominant four-year run. FOX’s Jordan Schultz reported that internal discussions about Parsons’ long-term deal have sparked “murmurs” of a potential trade. With the market for elite pass rushers skyrocketing- Myles Garrett recently secured $40 million per year- Dallas may hesitate to meet Parsons’ demands.
However, trading Parsons would be an unprecedented move. At just 25 years old, he has amassed 52.5 career sacks and four All-Pro selections, making him one of the most dominant defenders in the league. Any decision to part ways with him would likely face severe backlash from Cowboys fans and analysts alike.
If Dallas does extend Parsons, the price tag will be steep. Cowboys insider Nick Eatman believes Parsons’ contract could mirror Maxx Crosby’s recent three-year, $106 million extension rather than Garrett’s record-breaking deal. “Crosby’s contract is probably the floor for what Parsons will ask,” Eatman noted.
For now, Parsons remains a Cowboy. But as contract talks continue, speculation will only intensify. If Dallas refuses to meet his asking price, could Jerry Jones entertain the unthinkable? With the NFC East as competitive as ever, trading Parsons to the Eagles would send shockwaves through the NFL.
