The Dallas Cowboys have spent much of this offseason collecting disappointing former first-round picks, but may be on the cusp of trading one of the most talented players on the roster ahead of the NFL Draft.Football gear<\/p>\n
Even after the Cleveland Browns made Myles Garrett the highest-paid pass rusher in the history of the sport, Micah Parsons\u2019 contract talks don\u2019t seem to have much momentum at the moment with the Dallas Cowboys, a year after Jerry Jones and Co. signed playmaking wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and quarterback Dak Prescott to mega-deals of their own.<\/p>\n
With the NFL Draft nearing, might the Cowboys be about to dangle Parsons on the trade market?<\/strong><\/p>\n Dec 15, 2024; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons (11) walks off the field after the game at Bank of America Stadium.
