Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett requested a trade from the franchise this offseason as he seeks an opportunity to make playoff runs and pursue a Super Bowl title while he is still in his prime.

While it is too early to tell where Garrett could land, Dallas Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons hopes that his team is in the mix to land the superstar.

Parsons dove into the possibility on radio row in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl LIV.

"He earned it," Parsons said of Garrett's call to request a trade. "I'd like to see him in Dallas. I don't know if we've got the money for him."

When asked if he's be willing to take a pay cut in his upcoming contract negotiations to bring Garrett aboard, Parsons didn't hesitate.

"Oh, 100%," Parsons said confidently. "Would he take less too? We definitely need to make that happen."

Because of financial reasons, it's unlikely that there will be a Parsons-Garrett duo with the Cowboys, but if Jerry Jones ever pulled it off, Dallas would have one of the scariest pass rush duos in recent memory.

Dare to dream, Cowboys fans.
