Of course, James Cook is also aiming to become one of the highest-paid running backs in the NFL, so that could present a bit of a roadblock.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_syyfqn35p\">While it&#8217;s interesting to look at the trades and speculate on different ways to improve the Cowboys roster, it&#8217;s difficult to imagine the team parting ways with Parsons.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_iqe7661ki\">After all, he is a generational talent and has said he would love to retire with the star on his helmet.
