A stunning new front-runner has emerged to pull off a blockbuster trade for Dallas Cowboys superstar linebacker Micah Parsons in the offseason.
Micah Parsons hasn’t outright requested a trade, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hasn’t at all indicated that he’ll shop any of his star players in the offseason. But of course, it just takes one can’t-refuse offer for Jones to reconsider.
Parsons will enter the fifth and final year of his rookie contract in 2025. He was eligible for an extension in the offseason, but the Cowboys prioritized completing new deals with quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
According to the latest betting odds at Bovada, the Detroit Lions are the favorites to land Micah Parsons at +475 if he’s not on the Cowboys in 2025. The defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs have the second-best odds at +500.
The Lions have been searching for another star pass-rusher to complement Aidan Hutchinson, who hopes to return in the postseason from a fractured tibia and fibula he suffered in Week 6 against Dallas.

Parsons, the former Rookie of The Year, is already a 3x Pro Bowler, and 3x All-Pro would be a dynamic duo with Aidan Hutchinson. Would be insane. pic.twitter.com/6ERbuAvNGV

So adding Micah Parsons would make the Lions even more dangerous in 2025, and their championship window is wide-open. If there’s one team that should be all-in for Parsons (if he becomes available, of course), it’s Dan Campbell’s group.
Micah Parsons Wrapping Up Another Excellent Season In Dallas
Not much has gone right for a Dallas team that will miss the postseason for the first time in Micah Parsons’ career, as Sunday’s loss to the Philadelphia Eagles clinched a losing season (7-9).
But Parsons has been one of the few positives in a lost season for the Cowboys, with 9.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in just 12 games. He may have missed four games to injury, but Parsons’ all-world production has only increased his price tag on the next contract.
