Of course, James Cook is also\u00a0aiming to become one of the highest-paid running backs\u00a0in the NFL, so that could present a bit of a roadblock.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_8cpk2kuxh\">While it\u2019s interesting to look at the trades and speculate on different ways to improve the Cowboys roster, it\u2019s difficult to imagine the team parting ways with Parsons.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_tsi6e17ho\">After all, he is a generational talent and has said he would love to retire with the star on his helmet.
