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.

John Mateer injury update: Oklahoma QB available vs. Texas less than a month after hand surgery

Imagn Images Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer will at least be available when the sixth-ranked Sooners play Texas in Week 7. Mateer was removed from the Sooners' final availability report leading into the Red River Rivalry and kept his right hand hidden from view as he exited the team bus to enter the Cotton Bowl.Whether Mateer plays or not, he's returning less than three weeks removed from undergoing surgery. He missed the Sooners' Week 6 rout of Kent State, but was in full uniform with a brace on that right hand. Backup Michael Hawkins Jr. go the start in the 44-0 win. Oklahoma coach Brent Venables said after the win over Kent State that he was "assuming" that Mateer wouldn't be able to go against Texas.

Mariners vs. Blue Jays ALCS schedule, prediction, odds: Seattle seeks first AL pennant; Toronto hosts Game 1

Getty Images In the wake of the 15-inning marathon that was Game 5 of the ALDS between the Seattle Mariners and the Detroit Tigers, the Mariners now only have one day off before starting the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's a fresh matchup. The two teams have only faced each other once in the playoffs and that was the Wild Card Series in 2022, with the Mariners winning two games to none. The Blue Jays haven't been to the ALCS since 2016 and haven't been to the World Series since 1993. The Mariners haven't been to this round since 2001 and have never won the AL pennant. They remain the only team of 30 in MLB to have never played in the World Series. They'll have their chance to advance here, but they have to deal […]
