The Dallas Cowboys have another extension to work on and once again, they're not moving with urgency.
Micah Parsons is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal and the Jones family is again content with letting other deals increase the market value. As was the case with Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, their reluctance to strike a deal has led to continued trade speculation.
K.D. Drummond of Cowboys Wire is the latest to discuss such a move, even going as far as to predict what Dallas could get in return. Drummond then goes on to run a mock draft with that haul.
For full disclosure, he states that his expectation is for the two sides to strike a deal. Still, he plays the "what-if" game and uses the Khalil Mack trade from 2018 as a barometer. While acknowledging Parsons is younger, he comes up with a five-pick haul from the New England Patriots.
"Dallas sends Micah Parsons to the Patriots for 1.4, 2.38, 5.144, 2026 first rounder, 2027 third rounder. The Patriots give Parsons a five-year $205 million contract with $90 million fully guaranteed."
From there, Drummond goes into a full 7-round mock draft where he replaces Parsons with another Penn State star, Abdul Carter. He also lands TreVeyon Henderson and makes a deal for Joe Milton from the Patriots as well.
All this and a first-round pick in 2026 is pretty enticing — but would the Cowboys pull the trigger?
