Cowboys reportedly plan trade of Micah Parsons to Bengals in 2025

The Dallas Cowboys are facing a pivotal offseason regarding star edge rusher Micah Parsons, who is entering the final year of his contract. While the team aims to extend Parsons, there have been internal discussions about possibly trading him for significant value. Reports suggest potential trade scenarios, including a proposed deal sending Parsons to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for players and picks, highlighting the Cowboys' need to manage their salary cap, currently over by $2.8 million. Analysts note that while a trade seems unlikely, the Cowboys could receive a substantial return that may help address other roster needs. Parsons, a highly regarded player, could command one of the highest defensive contracts if extended. The upcoming offseason promises to be a tumultuous period for the Cowboys as they navigate these crucial decisions.
