Micah Parsons may be using a familiar tactic to push contract negotiations along.

Micah Parsons sent shockwaves throughout the NFL last Friday when he officially asked the Dallas Cowboys for a trade. This isn’t an uncommon tactic for professional athletes to take when contract negotiations aren’t moving along as they would like. In fact, it’s pretty similar to the situation Myles Garrett was facing with the Cleveland Browns not long ago.

Unhappy with his current contract, Myles Garrett was seeking an extension from the Browns despite the fact he had two years remaining on the five-year, $120 million contract extension he signed in 2020. His tactic of requesting a trade worked and ended up earning him a four-year, $160 million extension.

Micah Parsons is no dummy. He saw how this situation unfolded between Garrett and the Browns and likely filed it away in case he needed it for future use. Feeling frustrated and probably a little disrespected about how his own contract negotiations were going with the Cowboys, he decided to use the same tactic by requesting a trade.

As ugly as the situation seems right now, it still seems highly unlikely the Dallas Cowboys will trade their four-time Pro Bowler. In fact, Jerry Jones has even said as much. And, if you want to ease your concerns even more that Dallas’ star pass rusher is unlikely to get traded, take comfort in what Parsons’ own brother posted recently on Twitter/X.

While these words are encouraging that Micah Parsons is indeed taking a page out of Myles Garrett’s book and using the “requesting a trade” tactic in the hopes of getting some serious discussions to take place about a contract extension, it unfortunately doesn’t make the situation suddenly disappear. It could very well be a legitimate request.

Until all of this is finally resolved it will continue to be a festering wound for all parties involved. Ideally this would have all been taken care of months ago, but the longer it continues to fester, the more messy it could become.

All anyone can do right now is sit back and wait to see how all of this ends up playing out. Odds are Jerry Jones and Company will finally offer Micah Parsons the contract extension he so rightly deserves, settling things once for all. But, until that happens trade speculation will continue to circulate.
