The Seattle Seahawks might claim that they have their roster mostly set ahead of the 2025 season, but the latest rumblings from the Dallas Cowboys could create a world in which superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons is no longer wearing the star on the side of his helmet.
Contract talks between Parsons and the Cowboys have reportedly shorted out to the point where an extremely irritated Parsons requested a trade out of Dallas. The Cowboys may not honor that request, but the Seahawks need to at least make them say no
Between the Seahawks' need for a star pass rusher that can stabilize this thoroughly mediocre unit and the fact that Seattle has more cap space than most fringe contenders, they are one of the few teams in the NFL that have the ability to both acquire Parsons and give him the new contract he has been seeking.
This trade would result in the Seahawks giving up a ton of capital and a budding star, but players like Parsons never become available. The time is ripe for John Schneider to make a big move and keep Seattle competitive in a very tough NFC West.
The Seahawks would be getting the old Dallas band back together, as they signed former Cowboys star Demarcus Lawrence away in the offseason. Parsons and Lawrence produced some tremendous numbers alongside one another in Dallas, and they could provide more of the same in Seattle.
Mafe has been one of the Seahawks' best draft picks in years, as he has 15 sacks in the last two seasons and has emerged as one of the best run-defending edges in the league, However, if the Seahawks actually want to pull this off, they need to feel comfortable with giving up a player they likely hold in such high regard.
Seattle can look to the Chicago Bears, who became an immediately viable contender despite poor quarterback play after the trade for Khalil Mack, as an example of how one game-changing pass rusher can be enough to take an average tier up into the contending tier.
Mike Macdonald's defense was far from the same lockdown units he had in Baltimore, but he didn't have a weapon like Parsons to deploy. If Sam Darnold is everything the Seahawks think he can be, Seattle should be able to coast into the playoffs in a wide-open NFC.
