Should Ravens have interest in Micah Parsons after he requested a trade from the Cowboys?

The Dallas Cowboys struggle to keep their stars happy, and the latest example is the handling of Micah Parsons' contract status in Dallas. Parsons has been one of the best linebackers in the NFL since being selected by the Dallas Cowboys two spots behind DeVonta Smith (Eagles) in the 2021 NFL draft.

Since departing Penn State, Parsons, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, has developed into a four-time Pro Bowl pass rusher and is annually among the NFL defensive player of the year favorites. Had Baltimore selected Parsons in the 2021 NFL draft, Eric DeCosta would have signed him to a five-year deal worth a maximum of $150 million with $87.5 million guaranteed, similar to what the New York Giants did for Brian Burns.

Now, after some contentious back-and-forth, the All-Pro pass rusher has requested a trade in a long, emotional social media post.

Early on Friday, reports surfaced that Parsons and Dallas are going through contentious contract negotiations, according to Diana Russini of The Athletic.

The relationship between Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys has deteriorated to the point where the star pass rusher is considering drastic measures, which could include a trade request or even a declaration that he is severing his relationship with the team, according to a league source familiar with the situation. The two sides remain far apart heading into the second week of training camp and are not currently negotiating.

Since 2019, Ezekiel Elliott, Zack Martin, and CeeDee Lamb all staged holdouts, while Dak Prescott didn't sign his most recent contract extension until hours before kickoff of the season opener last September.

In Baltimore, Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy are coming off double-digit sack seasons, while the team used a second-round pick on Marshall pass rusher Mike Green. The Ravens also have Adisa Isaac, David Ojabo, and Tavius Robinson among the potential trade assets.
