Cowboys star Micah Parsons' NFL trade demand slammed as ‘Overhyped' by Skip Bayless
Micah Parsons has stunned the
NFL
and Dallas Cowboys fans by officially requesting a trade. The star linebacker, who has earned four Pro Bowl selections in four seasons, thanked fans for their support but admitted his time in Dallas may be over.
Parsons revealed that he expected a long-term extension, but the front office went silent, which ended his desire to finish his career with the Cowboys.

unloads on Micah Parsons' trade drama
Veteran sports analyst and lifelong Cowboys fan Skip Bayless wasted no time reacting. In a 12-minute video posted on X, Bayless called the trade request 'overhyped' and questioned whether Parsons deserves the massive payday he's reportedly seeking.
'I'm not gonna say that because that's not the truth. I'm going to restate my opinion that Micah Parsons has been way overhyped,'
Bayless said.
Bayless reminded fans that Parsons' production dipped in the final stretch of the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He admitted he once compared Parsons to NFL legend Lawrence Taylor after his rookie year but said the last two seasons have shown he's not yet at that level.
What Micah Parsons' trade request means for Dallas Cowboys' future
The Cowboys now face a critical decision that could shape their Super Bowl hopes. Parsons has been the heart of Dallas' defense, and trading him would create a huge gap.
However, keeping him likely requires one of the richest contracts ever for a defensive player, which comes with risk if his late-season fade continues.
If the Cowboys explore a trade, several NFL teams are expected to show interest, and Dallas could receive a significant return in draft picks. Still, parting ways with a young pass rusher of Parsons' caliber would be a gamble.
Jerry Jones faces pressure as Micah Parsons trade story grows
Bayless' comments have fueled debate among fans. Some argue Dallas must keep its defensive star at all costs, while others believe the team could benefit from moving on before committing a record-breaking deal.

IND vs ENG 5th Test: Akash Deep slips; India miss golden chance to dismiss Jacob Bethell
Akash Deep of India (Photo by) A dramatic day of Test cricket at The Oval saw England inch closer to a famous series win, thanks to a breathtaking hundred from Harry Brook and a composed unbeaten knock from Joe Root . But just before tea, India missed a golden opportunity that could have shifted the momentum — a dropped return catch off Jacob Bethell that left the Indian fielders stunned. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! The moment came in the 65th over when Bethell miscued a leading edge back to the bowler. Akash Deep turned sharply to complete what looked like a simple catch, but slipped badly as his spikes got stuck in the turf. The ball landed agonisingly close to the stumps at the non-striker's end, with Siraj watching on in disbelief. Bethell had survived — and England marched on. IND vs ENG: Josh Tongue on England's 374-run chase, Akash Deep's batting and The Oval pitch Earlier, England were 106 for 3 and still needed 268 runs when Brook walked in. The right-hander counter-attacked brilliantly, smashing 111 off 98 balls to notch up his 10th Test century in just 50 innings — placing him ninth on the all-time list for fastest to the milestone. Joe Root, batting with calm authority, ended the session on 98 not out. The pair added 195 runs for the fourth wicket, grinding India down on a pitch that had begun to ease. At tea on Day 4, England were 317 for 4, needing just 57 more runs for victory and a 3–1 series win. England look firmly on course for a famous win.
