Micah Parsons' viral Steelers trade comments resurface amid Cowboys contract drama
Micah Parsons sent shockwaves through the NFL with his trade request becoming official — but this wasn't the first time he's discussed leaving the Cowboys, as his viral Steelers trade comments have begun to resurface on social media. Back in February, Parsons sat down with former Steelers CB turned CBS Sports analyst Bryant McFadden in a one-on-one interview. McFadden asked Parsons if he rocked with the Steelers and claimed he could see the young defender wearing the Black and Gold — and in response, the Cowboys superstar dropped a bombshell. "Yeah, I do," Parsons said, confirming his interest in the Steelers. "I said, if I ever returned home, it was going to be Pittsburgh." Parsons, a Pennsylvania native, would surely be welcomed with open arms in Pittsburgh — but the path to making that dream a reality is nearly impossible, potentially requiring the Steelers to part ways with another high-profile edge rusher.

Ex-Steelers CB on T.J. Watt drama: 'He's not even the highest paid player on this team'
T.J. Watt's contract drama has taken over headlines — and CBS Sports has weighed in. Ex-Steelers CB turned CBS Sports analyst Bryant McFadden supported Watt on the issue, arguing that DK Metcalf's $33 million per season could play a role: Advertisement '[Watt is] not even the highest paid player on this team,' McFadden said via CBS Sports HQ. 'An outsider is the highest paid player on the Pittsburgh Steelers, and what I mean when I say outsider — a player that played with another organization. T.J. Watt is a homegrown player. They drafted him — he's developed to be one of the best playmakers in the National Football League on the defensive side.' McFadden continued by highlighting how Metcalf's contract, as well as Watt's competition with Myles Garrett, is playing a huge role in the extension holdup. Agreeing with CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones, McFadden concluded that if Watt doesn't get a new deal soon, he will 'hold-in' for training camp.
