In a stunning development, Micah Parsons requested a trade from the Cowboys on Friday. Parsons took to social media to announce he no longer wants to play for Dallas after the two sides apparently failed to make any recent progress on a contract extension.

Parsons, still only 26 years old, has posted 12 or more sacks in each of his first four NFL seasons, for a total of 52.5 sacks in 63 career games. In four seasons, he’s won Defensive Rookie of the Year, finished in the top three of the Defensive Player of the Year voting twice and has been first- or second-team All-Pro in three of his four seasons.

He’s arguably the most dominant defensive player in the league right now.

But Parsons has made it clear in his statement, at loggerheads with the Cowboys over his contract demands, that he wants to play elsewhere. Frankly, I still will be surprised if Parsons plays for anyone but the Cowboys this season, but with a trade request officially submitted, it at least makes sense to take a look at the teams that might be in position to make a huge play for Parsons.

Whether the Cowboys bite or not is another matter altogether.
