Micah Parsons Seeks Trade Amid Dallas, Green Bay Contract Dispute

Micah Parsons, the Dallas Cowboys' All-Pro linebacker, has publicly requested a trade amid ongoing contract disputes as he enters the final season of his rookie deal. The Green Bay Packers have emerged as the frontrunners in trade talks, reportedly offering Parsons a $45 million per year contract, which would make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. Despite the trade rumors, Parsons was seen at the Cowboys' preseason game and recently spotted at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, where he is reportedly seeking a second opinion on a back injury. The Cowboys face a critical decision as the regular season approaches, balancing the risk of Parsons holding out and losing over $1 million per missed game against the potential of retaining a defensive superstar. Owner Jerry Jones has previously expressed willingness to make Parsons the highest-paid guaranteed player outside of quarterbacks, but negotiations have turned contentious. The trade saga remains unresolved, with both teams and Parsons yet to confirm any deal, while the Cowboys prepare for their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
