This, and the Cowboys lose additional leverage because he’s in the final year of his deal. If he truly wanted to, he could sit out the season and Dallas would get zero compensation for him.

Truly think a 1st next year and a mid round pick could get it done.

They could franchise tag him I think.

32 Million a year ain't gonna convince him. He is looking for top dollar like Myles Garrett or TJ Watt at least $40 million per year. 

 

Holy poo, I thought $30M was still top of the line for rushers lol

Carolina Panthers

Dallas- Micah Parsons

Panthers- Derrick Brown, 2026 Third Round Pick

Carolina is in desperate need of pass rush juice, and while parting with Derrick Brown may seem costly, the trade would be well worth it. For Dallas, the deal makes a lot of sense, as they’ve struggled for years to find a true run stuffer, and Brown would immediately fill that void. On the Panthers' side, the move signals a clear commitment to prioritizing quarterback pressure. In addition, it is typically easier to find an elite run defender than it is to find an elite pass rusher.

I would not like this move at all.  I feel Brown is severely underrated here.  He still shows up and gets the job done.  Bringing on double and even triple teams.  Our defense was deplorable last year.  Brown missing was a large part of that.

I don't like Parsons fit as far as attitude or compensation.  Brown has been a favorite player of mine in his time here and has given me no reason to think otherwise.

Compensation, sure. But attitude? I don’t recall ever hearing anything at all negative about him… unless you’re counting him asking to be paid.

Trading a productive locker room leader who wants to be here for a guy who is currently a malcontent in Dallas sounds like a recipe for a shitshow I agree.

Malcontent? I hope you're only talking about with the FO, because teammates are on Micah's side according to Ian Rappaport. Parsons is highly productive (arguably the best in the NFL), and he is a locker room leader.

I can understand the rationale of not wanting to pay him, but painting him as some kind of troublemaker and bad teammate doesn't pass muster

The fact is, if you look at his statement, he's tired of the circus in Dallas, and we all should understand that.

If he's miserable in Dallas I do not envision him living his best life here under the Tepper's. Just the truth.

Hey Dallas, we will give you your 4th round pick you gave us for Mingo back if you give us Micah. Definitely a fair trade - don't even think about it Dallas

I was chatting with a buddy of mine and we both had the same perception of Parsons unprompted.  I don't know how the idea got there, as I largely only focus on Panthers content.

A quick Goog as we say seems to back that perception up, though.

"Candid and emotional, public spats, and internal friction." Were listed.  Brown has been pretty much perfect in his time here in my eyes.

Tepper isn't the GM.

This is about contractual negotiations and the Cowboys playing the public game and not having any discussions with Micah's agent. Micah is a top player in the NFL (some have said the best at times), and players of his caliber are going to be paid. They're also going to be respected. Dude is only 25 years old and won't suffer from a lack of suitors. I'm sure we're calling, as it would be managerial malfeasance not to.

I mean, you have to expound.  You don't think that Micah is better than Brown, and it's not worth throwing in an extra third? 

@Basbear any thoughts?

Problem with that trade is we now have nobody to stop the run and we run into the same problem as last year - teams will just run the ball every down and never pass.

Not sure Dallas would take it anyway with the injury DB had last year. They would want to see how he looks this year before making that trade
