If he\u2019s willing to continue to ride that wave, he\u2019ll be able to not play until he gets his new contract,\u201d Florio wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Cowboys seem to be daring him to do it.

The second is a package from the Detroit Lions involving Brian Branch, a first-round pick, and two second-round picks. Finally, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers\u2019 package would see the Cowboys land Bucky Irving, Vita Vea, and a first-round pick.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect a Parsons deal, but expect this type of return if the narrative changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Micah Parsons linked to Bills, Lions, Buccaneers trades as Cowboys attempt to call bluff on back injury originally&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":294078,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2048],"tags":[215,1524,312,214,53,2086,257,113,12776,7,491,5745,23106,6,250,1119,9752],"class_list":{"0":"post-294077","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-buffalo-bills","8":"tag-bills","9":"tag-brian-branch","10":"tag-bucky-irving","11":"tag-buffalo","12":"tag-buffalo-bills","13":"tag-buffalobills","14":"tag-dallas-cowboys","15":"tag-detroit-lions","16":"tag-ed-oliver","17":"tag-football","18":"tag-micah-parsons","19":"tag-mike-florio","20":"tag-mike-tannenbaum","21":"tag-nfl","22":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","23":"tag-the-cowboys","24":"tag-vita-vea"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115041361400846617","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294077","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=294077"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/294077\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/294078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=294077"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=294077"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=294077"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
