What has seemingly turn out to be the most important story of the NFL offseason simply reached a brand new breaking level, as Dallas Cowboys’ all-world EDGE Micah Parsons formally proclaims he requested a commerce.
This example has lastly hit a boiling level, after The Athletic’s Dianna Russini posted Friday that Parsons was able to take “drastic measures” in his ongoing battle with Stephen and Jerry Jones over a brand new deal. Properly, the drastic measure has been taken, with Parsons lastly requesting a commerce.
Of observe in his message he posted, Parsons explicitly talked in regards to the relationship (or lack thereof) between the Joneses and Parsons’ agent, David Mulugheta. Notably, earlier this offseason, Jerry Jones mentioned this about Mulugheta:
It’s all the time nice if you stick your foot in your mouth after which marvel why your breath smells like toes. Masterful gambit, Mr. Jones, they by no means noticed that one coming!
The Athletic’s Dianna Russini is reporting that the Cowboys (naturally) don’t need to commerce Parsons.
The Dallas Cowboys haven’t any intention of buying and selling Micah Parsons, per sources.
Nonetheless, groups across the league are planning to achieve out to examine on his availability immediately.

In the event that they do find yourself acquiescing to his request, the compensation can be much like when the Bears acquired EDGE Khalil Mack. In that commerce, the Bears gave up two first spherical picks, a third-round choose and a sixth spherical choose for Mack, a second-rounder and a conditional fifth. Mack and Parsons are across the similar age when he was traded as nicely, so the framework might be comparable.
Nonetheless, this might find yourself enjoying out how all Cowboys commerce requests do. The Cowboys look silly, Jerry Jones hates wanting silly, so that they pay Parsons at a monster clip which he deserves and everybody goes dwelling. However at this level, has the bridge been burned? Has there been an excessive amount of injury completed?
