Last week, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons took the football world by storm with a shocking social media post. In light of his jaw-dropping message, countless hypothetical trades for the All-Pro linebacker have started to emerge.
Over the past few months, Parsons and the Cowboys have had countless discussions about a contract extension. However, in recent weeks, things have started to take a turn for the worse.
Following numerous public statements from both sides, Parsons took things to new heights last Friday. He posted a long message on X (formerly Twitter) breaking down how things have unfolded regarding extension talks from his point of view.
At the end of the post, Parsons stated that he informed the Cowboys front office that he’d like to be traded.

Since Parsons told the world of his trade request, countless people in and around the NFL have tossed out hypothetical moves. In a recent column for The Athletic, Zack Rosenblatt broke down a framework where the Cowboys star lands in the AFC with the New York Jets.
In exchange for Parsons, Dallas receives three future draft picks, defensive end Jermaine Johnson, and running back Breece Hall.
“The Cowboys get two talented young players at positions of need,” Rosenblatt wrote. “Hall is in the last year of his deal while Johnson has another year left on his rookie deal and Dallas defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton (with the Jets previously) knows what he’s capable of — he made the Pro Bowl two years ago. He’s no Parsons, but he has the potential to keep getting better with time and development.”
As a former first-round pick and Pro-Bowler, Johnson is certainly an intriguing young talent who could help fill the void left by Parsons. That said, the most notable piece of the return package is Hall.

Over the past few years, the Cowboys have longed for a viable option in the backfield. Hall might not be an elite-level talent, but he would still be an upgrade to what they’ve had recently. As a dual-threat back, he’d also provide Dak Prescott with another weapon in the passing game.
Hall, 24, is coming off his second straight season of at least 1,300 scrimmage yards. He also found the end zone eight times (5 rushing TDs, 3 receiving TDs).
At this point, all of this discourse remains hypothetical. Although Parsons asked out, the Cowboys don’t appear like they’re ready to honor such a request at this time.
