Cowherd also wants to pair the star quarterback with his father Deion Sanders as the Cowboys\u2019 next head coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m here to tell you, if I was the Dallas Cowboys, I don\u2019t care about Dak\u2019s new contract,\u201d Cowherd explained on a November 19, 2024, episode of \u201cThe Herd.\u201d \u201cI would go get Deion Sanders, and I would pick Shedeur Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I had to give up Micah Parsons and three firsts [first-round picks], I would do it. You do not get out of bankruptcy putting $13 a month into your 401K. You get out of it with big swings.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Cowboys Star Micah Parsons Is Projected to Land a 3-Year, $87.9 Million Contract<\/h2>\n<p>There is no indication that the Cowboys are going to hit the reset button at quarterback, but Dallas may not need to make this sort of godfather offer in order to move up in the 2025 NFL draft if the team keeps losing games.<\/p>\n<p>Heading into Week 12, the Cowboys had the\u00a0No. 9 pick. This took a hit after the team upset the Washington Commanders in Week 12 and now hold the No. 11 selection.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Prescott and CeeDee Lamb have lucrative contract extensions, Parsons is next on the Cowboys\u2019 list of stars in need of a new deal. Parsons is in the final season of a four-year,\u00a0$17 million rookie contract.\u00a0Spotrac projects\u00a0Parsons\u2019 market value for his next deal to be a three-year, $87.9 million contract.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>The Cowboys Urged to Explore Potential Blockbuster Trades for Micah Parsons<\/h2>\n<p>Dallas picked up Parsons\u2019 fifth-year option which would give the defender a $21.3 million salary in 2025 if no new deal is reached.\u00a0Yahoo Sports\u2019 Charles Robinson\u00a0believes the Cowboys should at least listen to offers for Parsons this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think the Cowboys should trade Parsons. But given that he expects to be the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL next offseason, it\u2019s worth seeing if some team is willing to mortgage to the hilt to add him,\u201d Robinson wrote in a November 13, article titled, \u201cQB Room, Week 10: Here\u2019s a path to fixing Cowboys and Dak Prescott. And no, it\u2019s not Deion and Shedeur Sanders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuietly open the phone lines on him before signing his inevitable massive contract extension. There was a time when then-Carolina Panthers edge rusher Brian Burns commanded an offer of two first-round draft picks from the Los Angeles Rams. There\u2019s at least a slight chance that Parsons could command three firsts.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders Has Combined for 34 Touchdowns This Season<\/h2>\n<p>As for Sanders, the star has a chance to be the first quarterback selected and potentially the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Sanders has thrown for\u00a03,488 passing yards, 30 touchdowns and 7 interceptions while completing 73.4% of his passes in his first 11 games. The quarterback has also added 4 TDs on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys have 240 million reasons not to make a run at Sanders or another quarterback. We are months removed from Prescott signing a massive four-year,\u00a0$240 million contract. Prescott\u2019s deal runs through the 2028 season, so chances are the Cowboys will not be making a quarterback move anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavy on CowboysThe Dallas Cowboys are being pushed to make a move for Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
