For the first time since Micah Parsons requested a trade, the Dallas Cowboys are reportedly considering moving him. The decision only brings on more questions, one of which is what Dallas would get in return. Unsurprisingly, the answer appears to be a whole lot.

According to Nick Harris of the Fort Worth-Star Telegram, the Cowboys would want a “substantial” amount of draft picks for Parsons, along with a player ready to contribute to this year’s team. Losing somebody such as Parsons would be a big blow for both the short and long term.

“For the Cowboys to engage in a trade, the deal would have to not only include substantial draft capital, but also a player who can immediately contribute, according to a team source,” Harris said.

A lot of comparisons to the famous Khalil Mack trade between the then-Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears have popped up when discussing Parsons. Chicago gave up two first-round picks, a third-rounder, and a sixth to acquire Mack. He, too, was in a contract dispute before getting shipped out for a hefty package.
