Former NFL GM’s Micah Parsons trade pitches could turn contenders into champions

Training camp is in full swing, but one of theNFL’s most dominant defenders is still on the sideline. Micah Parsons, a Pro Bowler in each of his first four seasons, is heading into the final year of his rookie deal and wants a long-term contract that puts him among the highest-paid pass rushers in the game.

The Cowboys, led by owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones, aren’t blinking. That’s left Parsons frustrated – frustrated enough to request a trade just over two weeks ago. His message was clear: he doesn’t want to be a Dallas Cowboy anymore.

Micah Parsons appears frustrated at Cowboys training camp

Enter Mike Tannenbaum. The former NFL general manager and current ESPN analyst decided to stir the pot on “Get Up,” sketching out three trade packages he believes could deliver Parsons to a team with realistic Super Bowl ambitions.

Trade No. 1: Buffalo Bills

Tannenbaum’s first idea sends Parsons to Buffalo for Ed Oliver and two first-round picks. He argued that adding Parsons to Sean McDermott’s defense would give the Bills the juice to finally get past the Chiefs and Ravens in January.

Trade No. 2: Detroit Lions

The second scenario has Parsons joining Aidan Hutchinson in Detroit in exchange for a first-round pick, two second-rounders, and safety Brian Branch. “That front seven would be terrifying,” Tannenbaum said, envisioning an NFC North title as just the start.

Trade No. 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The wildest of the three might be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers deal: Parsons for running back Bucky Irving, defensive tackle Vita Vea, and a first-round pick. In this scenario, Tampa would pair Parsons with a physical defense that already gives quarterbacks headaches.

Micah Parsons and the Cowboys’ High-Stakes Game of Chicken

Despite the flashy proposals, there’s still a sense around the league that Dallas won’t pull the trigger. Parsons isn’t just another starter – he’s the defensive centerpiece, arguably as critical to the Cowboys’ success as Dak Prescott or CeeDee Lamb.

But the standoff is eating into valuable preseason reps. Each day Parsons sits out is another day the Cowboys can’t fine-tune their pass rush, and it’s not lost on anyone that the NFC is wide open this season.

For now, the ball is in Jerry Jones’ court. He can keep negotiating, stand firm and risk an extended absence, or quietly field calls to see if one of Tannenbaum’s bold ideas – or something similar – is actually on the table.

Either way, Parsons’ situation has shifted from offseason subplot to one of the most compelling storylines in football. And with less than a month until the season kicks off, the outcome could reshape the NFL landscape before the first snap.

Cubs’ Manager says Kyle Tucker Was Playing Through Hairline Fracture in Hand

Not only have the Chicago Cubs quieted the hottest team in Major League Baseball, but they've won three straight over the Milwaukee Brewers without star outfielder Kyle Tucker. Tucker started in the series opener on Monday, going 0-for-4 at the plate, which was his sixth game out of the last seven without recording a hit. Manager Craig Counsell then benched Tucker in a move that was originally reported to help him "reset from his slump". But, following the Cubs' game on Wednesday, it's now been reported that, after receiving imaging, the Cubs learned Tucker is dealing with a hairline fracture in his right hand. It's an injury that he suffered in June, and has been playing through since until he sat on Monday. It may also offer an explanation for his recent struggles. "He was sore for a little while, but was able […]
