It looks like Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys' honeymoon is coming to an end. With Parsons' next contract worth a fortune, 105.3 The Fan's Bobby Belt wonders if the Cowboys would consider a blockbuster trade for the pass rusher. Cowboys officials have said a trade for Parsons is unlikely, but acknowledged it's a “possibility” given the star's projected next contract.
“You know how I look at this, I'm just wondering, but I've been through a few different times where Micah is a little upset, a little irritable, and those You can tell there’s a problem,” Berto explained on the January 24, 2024 episode. Star Love” Podcast. “However, this is not necessarily the case. [the] The Cowboys are like, “Oh, we've got to get this guy out.''
“I just wonder if they get to a point like Jalen Ramsey or Bradley Chubb, where they get to the end of their rookie contract and they say, 'Look, you want different things.' I wonder if we're going through some of these growing pains. It's best for both of us, you just go and we can get draft funds. can.”
“I think it's unlikely, but I think it's at least possible that we'll get to that point someday.”
Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons is in the final season of a four-year, $17 million contract.
Parsons is scheduled to hit a $5.4 million cap hit in 2024. The star is entering the final season of a four-year, $17 million rookie contract.
Dallas also has a chance to pick up Parsons' fifth-year option in 2025, a move the front office will almost certainly make. Last May, ESPN's Bill Barnwell predicted Parsons' average annual salary could be in the $32 million range.
Parsons has emerged as one of the best defenders in the league, but could the Cowboys decide that it would be better to spread this money across multiple players? It's still a long way off, but do they rule out that possibility entirely? I can not do it.
Cowboys Rumors: Could $30M Salary Make Dallas Consider Trading Micah Parsons?
Former Cowboys scout Brian Broaddus echoed Belt's questions about Parsons' future. In the end, a big new contract was signed, leaving the door open for at least a potential trade. Dallas will have a hard time paying all of its star players who are due for raises in their next contracts.
“Here's where people are thinking, 'Hey, do we really need to pay this guy $30 million a year?' And there are a lot of people who absolutely do,” Broadus said of Parsons. He said this when discussing the possibility of a trade. “I'm talking about the fans.
“But you're in a situation now where you can't pay CeeDee Lamb all that money. You wouldn't be able to pay Micah Parsons that much money,” Broadus continued.
“You have to think about Dak Prescott and what it is. You brought up guys with expiring contracts. Making room for Micah Parsons who will help you. Could you please give it to me?”
In a league where contenders can never have enough pass rushers, the Cowboys are likely to sign Parsons to a lucrative contract extension. If Dallas changes tack, the Cowboys could get a nice trade package in exchange for Parsons.
