Micah Parsons’ post naming his NFL GOAT resurfaces after trade request to Jerry Jones, Cowboys

The NFL world was left stunned days ago after news broke of Micah Parsons’ major decision to request a trade and leave Jerry Jones’ Dallas Cowboys after several seasons. At a time when the star pass rusher’s name is making headlines across the league, an old tweet from Parsons himself has resurfaced from the archives.

The debate over who is — or was — the greatest player of all time in this sport never has an expiration date. Last year, the former Penn State Nittany Lion used his official X account to be clear and direct in naming, according to him, the true GOAT: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“Pat mahomes =GOAT! Idc we never seen someone on this pace and level ever!!” Parsons firmly expressed his opinion via @MicahhParsons11.

Could this offer any hint about what the defensive end wants for his future? Not at all. What is clear, however, is the mutual respect that has always existed between Parsons and Patrick Mahomes. Still, there’s no certainty about what lies ahead for him in the league — and he hasn’t expressed publicly any interest in joining Andy Reid’s team.

The Micah Parsons situation

Micah Parsons, the star pass rusher for the Dallas Cowboys, has formally requested a trade. This situation comes after a reported breakdown in contract extension talks, with Parsons stating on social media that he no longer wishes to play for America’s Team. He cited a lack of formal negotiations with his agent and feeling disrespected by the organization.

The Cowboys, however, have publicly downplayed the severity of the situation. Owner Jerry Jones has characterized the trade request as negotiation talk, a familiar tactic in high-stakes contract disputes. While he has not outright said he won’t trade Parsons, Jones has insisted to fans that they “don’t lose any sleep over this,” suggesting he views the issue as a temporary standoff that will be resolved internally.

What’s next for Micah Parsons?

The cards are already on the table: Micah Parsons does not want to remain with the Cowboys and has officially requested a trade. That said, as all franchises prepare for the upcoming NFL season, the future of one of the league’s top pass rushers remains uncertain.

While there’s still no certainty about where he’ll end up, teams like the Patriots, Chargers, Lions, or Jets could be among those interested in his services. One important detail? His hefty contract — something many teams won’t be willing to overlook.
