As the team with the largest cap capacity at the moment, the New England Patriots stand a chance to offer Parsons a fifth-year option or a new extension deal. New head coach Mike Vrabel can now use Parsons as a way to rebuild the team’s defense strategy to create a dynamic mirroring that of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady from the early 2000s.

The Cowboys won’t be so quick to trade Parsons, but if he isn’t going to agree to a long-term contract, things could change. The Cowboys likely wouldn’t want to trade him to the NFC, so the Chargers could be a candidate if they are willing to pay up in terms of trade value.

Why the Chargers Are the Perfect Team to Trade for Micah Parsons originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Three-time All-Pro Micah Parsons requested a trade from the Dallas Cowboys on Friday afternoon due to a lack of action from the Cowboys’ front office regarding signing Parsons to a long-term extension.
