Micah Parsons Is Already Recruiting NFL Star To Join The Cowboys

Micah Parsons wasted little time wooing Tyreek Hill following the wide receiver's apparent trade request.
On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins ended a disappointing 8-9 season with a 32-20 loss to the New York Jets. After posting a league-leading 1,799 receiving yards in 2023, Hill finished the 2024 campaign with his fewest catches (81) and receiving yards (959) since 2019. The 30-year-old indicated after the Week 18 game that he wanted a change of scenery.
"I just gotta do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be, I'm finna open that door for myself. I'm opening the door. I'm out, bro," Hill said. "It was great playing here, but at the end of the day, bro, I got to do what's best for my career."
Perhaps he could go to another team that fell short of expectations without a healthy quarterback. Parsons pitched Hill on joining the Cowboys.
"We can be the fastest duo in the league!" Parsons wrote with lion and cheetah emojis representing their nicknames. "We also don't have state income taxes!"
On Monday, Hill replaced his X profile picture with a Photoshopped image of his face on Antonio Brown's body. The photo referenced Brown leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sideline during a game in 2022.
Hill may want to leave Miami, but Dallas seems like an unlikely landing spot.
Despite declaring to go "all in" last offseason, Jerry Jones didn't make much of a splash. Dallas gave Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb huge extensions without making any seismic additions.
The same thing could happen this year, as Parsons has one more season left under contract.
Despite missing four games with an ankle injury, Parsons tallied 12 sacks and 45 pressures this season. The star edge-rusher is due a massive payday, but the 25-year-old suggested he might consider a team-friendly deal to help the Cowboys build a strong supporting cast.
"It would be nice to be surrounded by good players," Parsons said last month. "Players that will help me win championships. To me, having $40 million and being chipped every play and slid into three, four people, that doesn't sound too fun to me."
While Parsons was seemingly joking about him and Hill forming the NFL's fastest duo, "Cheetah" and Lamb would create a dangerous pass-catching pairing.
