Micah Parsons, Tyreek Hill, DK Metcalf among NFL stars who SHOULD be traded this offseason - NFL.com
Micah Parsons is one of just seven players to top 50 sacks in his first four NFL seasons. Could the Cowboys really be moving on from the 2021 Defensive Rookie of the Year this early in his career? There are actually ample reasons to think an extension is forthcoming heading into the final year of his rookie contract. Then again, NFL Network Insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport recently reported that the team has internally discussed “whether to pay Parsons or trade him for a king’s ransom.” And mulling over the trade proposals being thrown around for Myles Garrett, I can’t help but wonder what Parsons might fetch. It’s probably a lot. Even before we know what Garrett would actually go for, we can look back at the haul the Raiders extracted from the Bears for Khalil Mack in 2018 as the baseline of a deal for Parsons, with multiple first-rounders and maybe a few players mixed in as well. A swap like that would surely go a long way toward boosting the roster around Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, to whom the team has committed a healthy amount of money.

I’ve seen some mention $13 million yearly, but I would be stunned if he doesn’t get more on the open market. Anyone who runs a similar defense style to Fangio’s will be all over this guy. I would do what it takes to keep him in Philly. The Eagles have historically ignored the linebacker position in order to prioritize other positions. Now is the time to buck the trend. It’s time to pay Zack Baun.
Bumps in the Road - Iggles Blitz
After watching the Eagles blow out the Chiefs in the Super Bowl it is pretty easy to think about what a great season 2024 was. It feels like everything went the Eagles way. You know opposing fans certainly feel like that. “Lucky Eagles had it so easy last year.” That wasn’t exactly the case. The Eagles did have to overcome some adversity along the way to their second SB title. Go back almost a year. The Eagles signed Devin White to be the veteran off-ball LB. The plan was for...
