- Predicting a Steelers trade package for Cowboys' Micah Parsons after official request
Micah Parsons' trade request has sparked rumors and speculation galore — but his viral Steelers comments from several months ago are the true hidden gem. It begs the question: could Pittsburgh actually acquire the superstar defender?
Although it remains to be seen if the Cowboys will honor Parsons' request, if the Steelers were to offer a trade package, they'd need to send Dallas his replacement while also offloading a high contract — which is where EDGE Alex Highsmith comes into play.

If the Steelers dealt Highsmith and his cap hits over the next three seasons of $18.6 million, $20.1 million, and $21.1 million, they could theoretically pay Parsons the top edge rusher money he's looking for — but may need to offer the Cowboys some additional premium draft picks as well.
Here is a look at a completely hypothetical trade package that sends the Cowboys' star edge rusher to a destination he admittedly prefers :
Steelers receive:
-
EDGE Micah Parsons
Cowboys receive:
-
EDGE Alex Highsmith
-
2026 second-round pick
-
2027 second-round pick
-
2027 seventh-round pick
The price to pay is undoubtedly steep — but there's no question the Steelers would boast an even more devastating pass rush with All-Pro DT Cameron Heyward on the interior and the edge rush duo of Parsons and former 2021 Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt .
