Bears Predicted to Trade for Micah Parsons After Star Requests Exit from Dallas

It's not clear yet if the Dallas Cowboys will honor Micah Parsons' trade request, or if it'll lead to a renewed contract negotiation, or if it'll be an ugly ongoing saga for a while.

But if the Cowboys indeed are looking to trade Parsons, there'll be a bunch of NFL teams that want in for the superstar pass rusher.

Parsons is due to get a record-setting contract extension from someone, but maybe it'll be with a team that trades for him.

One suggested landing spot for Parsons? The Chicago Bears.

"The Bears might have to move some things around financially to make a Parsons deal work, but they are another team that hopes to contend despite pass-rushing questions. Montez Sweat was heavily disappointing in 2024 after a stellar finish to 2023. He's looking to bounce back under new DC Dennis Allen, while new addition Dayo Odeyingbo is hoping to take advantage of a featured role next to Sweat, but Parsons is on a completely different level than both players and would signal that the Bears will stop at nothing to compete in a loaded NFC North."

As Treacy writes, the NFC North is awesome.

The Bears could use Parsons to get after Jordan Love, Jared Goff and J.J. McCarthy.

Chicago has a lot of promise, with second-year QB Caleb Williams and first-year coach Ben Johnson. But they could use a jolt to push them into serious contention.

Parsons would be a super jolt.

The former Penn State star has at least 12 sacks in each of his first four NFL seasons. He's as good as they come.

The Cowboys' fanbase, and much of the roster, wouldn't be happy to see Parsons go.

But if he's got to go, the trade negotiations will be intense. And the Bears could find their way to the heart of the chatter if they play their cards right.
