The Micah Parsons-Dallas Cowboys contract negotiations seem to be further than where they were when the conversations started. Although GM and owner Jerry Jones told Michael Irvin that he was willing to extend an NFL-high offer to the defensive star, Parsons’ latest plea to get out of Dallas and find a new home has made things difficult. Now, seems like another franchise has taken notice and is ready to write that check.

A former insider, Ricky Scoops, recently tweeted, “The #Packers have a trade on the table with the #Cowboys for Micah Parsons with a new contract worth $45M per year.” Although neither the Packers nor the Cowboys has made any statement on these speculations, the Greenbay Packers have been in the spotlight for this trade for some time now. Shan Shariff, of 105.3 The Fan, added another layer to it, from Ricky Scoops’ perspective.

A staggering $45 million per year is being tossed around to make Micah the highest-paid non-QB, just like Jerry insisted. That said, nothing’s set in stone, but heading into 2025, the buzz is real. The chatter about Parsons landing in Green Bay has been floating around for a while. And it doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport led the charge with his early predictions, saying, “I would expect the Packers among the teams really interested [in trading for Micah Parsons].”

Fast forward to this week, and a couple of reports have reignited the trade rumors. The Packers’ legend and the former fullback, John Kuhn, took to his social media and posted a cryptic note, writing, “Micah Freaking Parsons.” And just like that, the social media lit up, connected the dots, and a potential relation between Micah and the Packers.

To spice it up, Arrick Upton, founder of the Packers fan page 1265 Report, tweeted out flight info for a private jet heading from Green Bay to Dallas on the morning of Wednesday, August 27. Then again, there’s no official word that Parsons is actually heading to Green Bay for a deal. Right now, it’s all speculation on the Packers’ side. The Cowboys? With Jerry Jones, you never really know—his playbook can flip at any second. And Parsons? His actions are sending pretty clear signals that he’s angling for a way out of Dallas.

Micah Parsons virtually moving out of the Cowboys Nation

Jerry Jones and the Cowboys aren’t making any changes to Micah Parsons’ ongoing contract extension dispute. So, the 26-year-old DE decided to make some changes to his personal social media accounts last week. Turns out, Parsons is no longer a Cowboy—at least, as per his official ‘X’ handle. He’s a former Penn State pass rusher. As for his NFL team? Well, he changed it from the Dallas Cowboys to “TBD.”

The DE even replaced his profile photo with a bible verse. Besides, he also changed his Instagram bio and removed the team name from there as well. These moves came hours after the Cowboys’ legend, Michael Irvin, dropped the latest episode of his podcast—an interview with the team’s owner, who took a shot at Micah’s agent.

Not to mention, for the Cowboys, who begin their practices this Friday for their week-1 matchup, might be missing Parsons after all. After the team cleared the DE of his back injury to return to the field, Parsons suddenly wished to get a sudden second opinion, further delaying his return. The only hope that Dallas has right now is that he has attended all the meetings with the teams and knows the direction they are headed towards. Still, earlier this month, the pass rusher confirmed that he doesn’t want to play for the Cowboys and has requested a trade.

“I no longer want to be held to close-door [sic] negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization our fans and my teammates,” he wrote in his statement. Now, the DE is entering the final year of his deal without a contract extension in his hand. The rumors suggest he’s set to become the highest-paid non-QB in the league, no doubt. We’ll see whether the Packers will sign him or the Cowboys.
