Micah Parsons Will Get Paid ‘No Matter What’Parsons’ comments earlier this week reflect both accept a willingness to accept whatever the future may hold, and a tacit threat to his status in the organization.“I’m just going to get mine no matter what,” Parsons said about Garrett’s contract affecting his market. “You know what I mean? Like, the markets change every year. Their salary cap went up, like, another 18% this year. So, if you want to know contracts, all the contracts are based off of percentage. Like, each player, a high-paid player, takes a percentage of the salary cap. So, it’s not really the number. It goes off by the salary cap.” The “no matter what” makes a resonating sound in and around Dallas that – even if this was not the full intended meaning of the phrase – Parsons could be open to seeking a trade if Dallas is not willing to pay him what he believes he is worth.Why A Trade To The Raiders Would Make A Lot Of SenseThe Raiders are not quite in win-now mode, admittedly. However, they have a solid quarterback, in Geno Smith, who has just been signed to an extension; a pair of solid offensive tackles, including last year’s emerging talent, DJ Glaze; and 2 x All-Pro defensive end, Crosby, playing alongside elite defensive tackle, Christian Wilkins.The foundations of any team lie in the quarterback, offensive and defensive lines. Whilst some may argue that the Raiders would be better placed to patiently build their way up through the draft, years of losing and constant organizational dysfunction have tanked numerous rebuild attempts over and over again.Of the five first round draft picks the team made in two seasons between 2019 and 2020, for example, only one – now Green Bay Packers running back, Josh Jacobs – can be deemed a success.Parsons would turn Las Vegas’ defensive line into arguably the most feared pass rush in football – and with over $100 million in cap space in 2026, the Raiders could more than afford to open up their chequebook for the Penn State alum.The Cowboys would be reticent to trade Parsons, but if the price becomes too step for the organization that is already in a tough spot cap-wise – a price that will likely exceed the $41 million/year given on Thursday to TJ Watt – the Raiders are a sneaky team to watch out for in a trade capacity.
