The Dallas Cowboys will be tasked with trying to extend Micah Parsons this offseason. He is set to play on his fifth-year option, but if they do not want to pay him, he could generate a massive return via trade.

The Cowboys will want to get a deal done with Parsons, but according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Cowboys have had "internal discussions" about trading him.

"While there have been no trade talks, sources say there have at least been some internal discussions about whether to pay Parsons or trade him for a king's ransom," wrote Pelissero. "If the Cowboys are willing to listen, they may get it. Cowboys COO Stephen Jones told NFL.com in December that the team will study the wisdom of having so much money invested in so few players, but added: 'I can't imagine there's a scenario where he's not wearing a star on his helmet.'"

Parsons would generate a great return if he were dealt. While the odds are low, FanSided's Desmond Ordonez proposed this trade that would send Parsons to the Green Bay Packers while adding two young players to fill positions of need:

Cowboys receive: wide receiver Jayden Reed, safety Javon Bullard, 2025 first-round pick and 2025 third-round pick

Packers receive: EDGE Micah Parsons and 2025 sixth-round pick

Parsons would instantly give the Packers the elite pass rusher they need. He is a four-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro and has 52.5 career sacks. Meanwhile, Reed had over 1,000 scrimmage yards last season in a crowded Packers offense. He could be a great player with CeeDee Lamb getting the most attention from defenses.

"For the Packers, parting ways with Reed seems like a questionable decision. Rumors suggest, however, that a veteran receiver like Davante Adams could join the team soon," wrote Ordonez. "This could make it easier for the Packers to let Reed go. All-Pro running back Josh Jacobs has been vocal lately, encouraging Green Bay to do whatever it takes to secure a solidified receiver. Is this a slight jab towards Reed and his capabilities? It could be and as a result, Dallas could take advantage of this potential bombshell and give Prescott an elite 1-2 receiving punch with Reed and Lamb."
