Micah Parsons has demanded a trade from the Cowboys due to failed long-term extension negotiations. The Patriots may pursue him, as he is an elite pass rusher, having recorded at least 12 sacks in each of his first four years. The Cowboys, however, have little motivation to trade Parsons, with owner Jerry Jones labeling the request as part of negotiations. A deal may indicate a deterioration of Parsons’s relationship with the Cowboys, reminiscent of past trades involving star players.
Micah Parsons wants out of Dallas, and it appears New England might be a destination if the Cowboys opt to respect the star edge rusher's request. The Patriots were among the early betting favorites to be the team Parsons plays for in 2025, helping to spark some trade rumors.
For New England, the reasoning for a possible pursuit of Parsons is obvious. The 26-year-old has been one of the best pass rushers since entering the league in 2021, recording at least 12 sacks in each of his first four years in the league.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones dismissed Parsons's trade request as 'part of negotiations' on Saturday. 'Not really. Not really at all,' Jones said when asked by reporters if he was surprised by Parsons's trade request. 'This is just negotiation.'
If the relationship continues to deteriorate in August, that could allow any team to swoop in and make a deal. A possible trade for Parsons might cost a little more than that, referencing the trade of Khalil Mack to the Bears in 2018.
