I mean....if you had to go research all this to support your claims and the best you could do was one guy and a Reddit thread, I am going to definitely say that this seems to be some personal grudge or some other issue you are having. I am literally sending this thread to my friends who are die hard Dallas Cowboy fans and we are laughing our asses off in a group chat. If nothing else, thanks for the entertainment.

I am not sure I have seen a more illogical hill dying event than this. This poo is wild. Lol.

Look, I can see you clearly have some personal animosity towards Parsons to be constructing wild rumors to spread but the NFL cares nothing about that. He is one of the most valuable players in the entire league because of the level of player he is. That isn't going to change because you don't like the kid. It's more than a bit foolish to abandon all logic due to some personal axe to grind.

It really isn't. All of this "me first" stuff is complete nonsense. I am not sure how much more the league has to show that elite pass rushers are premium positions, despite the cost of them being literally at top 15-20 QB pay levels. Now, would roster dynamics and cap come into play? Absolutely. But if those are not on the table, I am very comfortable saying that there is not a single currently employed GM not pulling that trigger.

For reference, for the people who seem to not understand the context here, Panthers GOAT Julius Peppers was averaging 0.675 sacks/game through four seasons in his NFL career. Parsons is averaging 0.833.

I don't think there is a single GM in the NFL who wouldn't make that trade, if given the option. DB is a very good player. Parsons is tracking towards a HOF career.

This is true but this is all fantasy anyway. Dallas very rarely lets great players in their prime get away. He will get paid and remain a Cowboy.

I mean, arguably the greatest pass rusher in the NFL currently for a 3rd and Derrick Brown??? That's very one sided, IMO. Yes, Parsons does get injured a lot, so there is that. But Brown, although very good, is not a significant impact in the pass rush. He definitely could end up being that at some point but he absolutely has not been that so far. Parsons is easily worth DB and a 3rd.

I mean, that little compensation??? Absolutely. He isn't getting traded, however and certainly not for that.

Meh. Posturing.

This dude is just simping for "his guy." Another player fan in Panthers clothing. Nothing different.

He is supposed to be the contested catch guy. Good to see he seems to be able to do it at this level so far. Hope he can when the bullets are live.

It sucks to see. He has been rock solid for almost his entire career here. But, the franchise has some shaky cap situations coming up, so he may be a casualty in the end. I for one will always appreciate his time here and how much he has contributed. He will be missed.

It doesn't work for us.

This smells of BS. TBH, the whole story smelled of them trying to duck his contract.

Panic moves are Rhule/Fitterer stuff. LB may not work out this year, so be it.

Nonsense. Ian Thomas has been a 4x Pro Bowler and future HOF candidate. Practice reports tell me so.

Yeah, we are down a starter in Jewell and a key backup in Zavala. Not a great start.

Bad News: Another injury. Good News: Wallace being mentored by Shaq and Luke.

Indeed. Sadly, it is likely guys like XL/Coker/Horn that Renfrow will steal time from, more likely than not.

It was pretty bad, TBH. He really set himself up to fail

Good. I think another wiley veteran will help a ton.

IDK. Predicting how good has been the biggest issue by a pretty wide margin.

I am not sure what the statistics are for 2nd rounders, much like Google "AI", as I would have to do actual research that it doesn't. The 3.3ish years average NFL career has held fairly true, IIRC. I know there is a site that still tracks that data. There was a very good and thorough look at success rates by round(I think it was based on games played or started) I read a few years ago and after the 3rd round the success rates dropped off precipitously. I will see if I can dig that up in the near future.

Well the team is always going to say such things. We will see this year. If he has really dedicated himself to football, the results should show themselves on the field. If they don't and he starts to get pushed down the depth chart, I think the writing is basically on the wall It's hyperbolic to say it's a critical year but if it's more of the same after year two, I am just not sure there is really any more to see.
