Micah Parsons could be leaving the Dallas Cowboys soon. The 26-year-old edge rusher requested a trade, urging Jerry Jones and co to reach a contract deal. While the franchise is yet to issue an official statement on the situation, it is being reported that the Cowboys do not want to trade Parsons.

“Still, teams around the league are planning to reach out to check on his availability today,” the Athletics’ Dianna Russini reported on Friday. Details are yet to be revealed, but we have a list of at least six teams, including the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills, who could be interested in signing the 2021 defensive rookie of the year.

Meanwhile, several of Parsons’ teammates have gone all out to support him. CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs are among the Cowboys stars to post about the situation. The former went on to even tweet: ‘Pay him more’.
Micah Parsons’ potential landing spots1. Buffalo Bills
The Bills are in Super Bowl-or-bust mode. Even with Joey Bosa now on the roster, another elite pass rusher like Parsons would add a terrifying dimension to their defense.
2. Los Angeles Chargers
Khalil Mack remains productive but is nearing the end of his prime. Pairing Parsons with Tuli Tuipulotu, who recorded eight sacks last season, could supercharge Jim Harbaugh’s defensive unit.
3. Seattle Seahawks
With veterans like Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence aging, the Seahawks could consider going all-in for Parsons, a move that aligns with their aggressive roster strategy.
4. Washington Commanders
Though trading within the NFC East would be highly unlikely, Washington desperately needs a dominant edge presence. Parsons could be a franchise-changing addition, if Jerry Jones is willing to take the risk.
5. Chicago Bears
The Bears have talent on offense and a solid piece in Montez Sweat defensively, but the pass rush lacks depth. Parsons could instantly transform Chicago’s front seven.
6. Detroit Lions
With Aidan Hutchinson returning from injury and the Lions firmly in their Super Bowl window, adding Parsons could push Detroit’s defense over the top.
