The saga between the Dallas Cowboys and Micah Parsons continues on as the team prepares for their first game of the 2025 NFL preseason with the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday.

Negotiations have not been going well as Parsons has requested a trade from the franchise, but everyone around the team seems to feel those drastic measures will not be happening.

But what if it did happen? What if the Cowboys trade Parsons?

Enter the Las Vegas Raiders.

"Pairing Parsons with Maxx Crosby, the player he is tied with for more quarterback pressures in the NFL since 2021, would give Las Vegas the most fearsome pass rush duo in the NFL. The Raiders are also familiar with the price necessary to acquire a talent like Parsons given they traded away a similar one in Khalil Mack back in 2018."

Pairing Parsons with Crosby would allow the Raiders to have the most dominant pass rush in the entire NFL.

It would also be the perfect response in stopping Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

I still don't feel like Parsons will ever be traded, but if he did, landing in Las Vegas would take most of the sting out of it, as that would mean he didn't go to a place that could make the Cowboys pay.
