The Dallas Cowboys are considering trading for a pass rusher with an NFC East rival following Micah Parsons’ remarks
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly interested in trading for a pass rusher on the Philadelphia Eagles roster this offseason. The potential move comes in an offseason where star Edge Micah Parsons has been critical of the Cowboys’ pieces on defense.
Parsons says he wants the defense to add depth at the linebacker position and on the defensive line. He wants interior defensive line help. But the main point of Parsons’ comments is that he needs help putting pressure on the opposing offensive line.
Per Mike Fisher with Sports Illustrated, the Cowboys have an interest in trading for veteran pass rusher Haason Reddick:
The Eagles recently gave permission for Reddick to seek a trade. The Eagles are doing so, hoping to alleviate issues with their cap situation, and Reddick wants an extension. Cap concerns are also present in Dallas.
The Cowboys’ defensive pass rush would be much better with Reddick on the other side of Parsons. But Reddick’s cost might not be worth the bite for Dallas either, especially with Parsons playing in the final year of his rookie deal. The Cowboys will have to fork over a ton of cap to him not too long after handing a bag to Dak Prescott.
Regardless, there is a reason the Cowboys are at least interested in exploring the trade.
