The Dallas Cowboys have had a rough start to their 2025 training camp, losing starting left tackle Tyler Guyton for multiple weeks with a knee injury. But things continued to go downhill for Jerry Jones and company, as star defender Micah Parsons seems to be on his way out.
And some seem to believe that he will end up with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Micah Parsons Requests Trade From Cowboys
Micah Parsons has been arguably the best player for the Cowboys since he joined the team in 2021. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, the three-time All-Pro expected a massive pay raise, but hasn't come close in negotiations with Jerry and Stephen Jones.
On Friday, enough was enough for Parsons, requesting a trade with a lengthy X post.
"Yes I wanted to be here. I did everything I could to show that I wanted to be a Cowboy and wear the star on my helmet," he wrote. "I wanted to play in front of the best fans in sports and make this Americas team once again. The team my pops and I grew up cheering for way up in Harrisburg, PA. Unfortunately I no longer want to be here. I no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present. I no longer want shots taken at me for getting injured while laying it on the line for the organization our fans and my teammates. I no longer want narratives created and spread to the media about me."
Parsons also noted at the end of his statement that his "trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally."
Fans Dig Up Micah Parsons' Statement on Patrick Mahomes
Amid ongoing speculation about where Parsons might land, fans resurfaced a post from the Cowboys star during Super Bowl LVIII, a 25-22 Chiefs win over the 49ers. At the time, Parsons called Mahomes the 'GOAT,' a title many still reserve for Tom Brady.
"Pat mahomes =GOAT! Idc we never seen someone on this pace and level ever!!" Parsons wrote on Feb. 11, 2024.
Following the trade request, many fans speculated that Parsons could eventually join Mahomes and the Chiefs, pointing to his previous post as evidence in their reactions.
"I know you wanna come over here," one Chiefs fan said.
"Veach it's time to assemble the recruitment Avengers. PM15, CJ95, and TK87 lets get to work! #ChiefsKingdom," wrote a second.
"Come to KC ❤️," posted a third.
"@MicahhParsons11 come play with the GOAT and come get you a ring Big Dawg!" commented another.
Is There A Chance Parsons Lands With The Chiefs?
While Parsons teaming up with Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones on the Chiefs sounds fun in theory, initial reports indicate that the Cowboys do not intend on trading their edge rusher away, despite his request.
"The Dallas Cowboys have no intention of trading Micah Parsons, per sources," The Athletic's Dianna Russini wrote on X. "Still, teams around the league are planning to reach out to check on his availability today."
Still, the unlikely addition of Parsons would certainly excite Mahomes, who had nothing but praise for the Cowboys star.
'He's a special player,' Mahomes said of Parsons in November 2021. 'I mean, to be that good of a linebacker and be able to play defensive end, there's not a lot of guys like that in this league. He has a high motor. He chased me down on that sack, the strip-sack, and the whole game he was in there the whole time battling and battling.'Micah Parsons' Patrick Mahomes Comments Resurface After Cowboys Trade Request first appeared on Athlon Sports on Aug 1, 2025
