Yesterday it was Terry McLaurin. Today it’s Micah Parsons.

It’s not often a 26-year-old superstar in the prime of his career asks for a trade. Let alone from a team like the Dallas Cowboys. Whatever you think of the franchise, they are one of the big names in world sport.

Yet here we are. A bungled, hapless approach to contract talks has led to Parsons calling for a change of scenery.

So what are the chances of the Seahawks trading for him?

Firstly, let’s just acknowledge that 30 other teams would also be interested in this move. Parsons is a fit everywhere. He has 52.5 sacks in four years. He’s a three-time All-Pro. He has nine forced fumbles. He had a 90.0 grade per PFF last season. He can win you games as a pass rusher. His next contract will re-set the market and nobody will flinch. He is that good.

If you want to supercharge a rebuild, he’s a fit. If you want to go from good-to-great, he’s a fit. If you’re a contender who wants to become even better, he’s a fit.

Everyone will want him.

If the Cowboys start listening to offers they might soon have a change of heart and throw money at their main man. They are likely to find out very quickly just how valuable an asset they possess.

Parsons might’ve said goodbye prematurely on Twitter but ultimately he has no real power to force anything here. The Cowboys are unlikely to trade him. It’d be a ludicrous decision.

Any buyer is going to have to give up a ton to convince Dallas to move on. You could be looking at three first rounders. Players like this don’t get traded. Then you’d have to give him more than TJ Watt’s $41m a year.

So while Parsons would be the ideal finishing touch for Seattle’s defense and potentially put up monster numbers in Mike Macdonald’s scheme, the chances of it actually happening appear remote.

Personally I’d be in favour of a big splash. This is the kind of player who can push the Seahawks over the top. He can be their Nick Bosa or Aaron Donald — a legit X-factor defender capable of helping carry a team to the Super Bowl. Bosa and Donald have appeared in Super Bowls with Jimmy Garoppolo, Brock Purdy, Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford at quarterback. It’s a great review of their influence on games.

The NFC is wide open and there to be won.

I wouldn’t complain if John Schneider went all-in. This isn’t a Jamal Adams trade. This is far more logical for such an impactful player at a vital position.

However, the price-tag in a trade coupled with the salary and the likely cash needed to secure his immediate signature just feels so challenging.

He has relationships in Seattle. Aden Durde coached him in Dallas and there’s mutual respect between the two. Durde hailed Parsons “extremely unique” qualities during his time in Dallas. Equally, Parsons has praised Durde — as did DeMarcus Lawrence prior to his decision to move to the Pacific Northwest.

There was a little bit of drama recently when Parsons reacted badly to an interview Lawrence gave Brian Nemhauser about his decision to leave Dallas. Parsons’ decision now might actually help build bridges and Lawrence can give a veteran “I told you so” look in his former team mates’ direction.

It’s also easy to imagine Parsons being intrigued with Macdonald as a Head Coach and what he could do for his career. The Seahawks have legit cap-space and can take on a big contract if they choose.

It would be a huge statement of intent and possibly push Seattle into Super Bowl contention. I just don’t see Jerry Jones letting Parsons go, despite today’s news of a trade request. This probably drags out all summer, making headlines just like Jerry prefers, and eventually they agree on a contract that wrecks the market for pass rushers.

If he is made available the Seahawks should be ready to pounce — to upgrade their own team and make sure he doesn’t end up in San Francisco or LA.
