It would definitely peak my interest...

I'm making some assumptions in saying this, but adding Parsons could make this a complete roster that could go as far as their production takes them. Meaning, this may not be the year we win a Superbowl, but a lot of these guys are the players that are going to do it, so if you add a real edge rusher, youre that much closer.

Sounds like we would have to make a deal with Dallas, and that isnt gonna be easy. And it might just be too rich.

Sadly, Parsons didnt say hed take less to go to Chicago. That was a hoax unfortunately.

FB is full of crap.  Thank you for verifying. The taking less had me intrigued and I was excited to share.

Its a GMs job to check everything out that is normal business. BUT if you look at all of his contracts, the stars of the team all come do in 2027 and 2028. He sets up outs the year before. Adding a 40+mil player disrupts all the work he did to get to the day Caleb has to be paid. He said he wants to build thru the draft. Trading several high picks to get one player throws that out the window. He made a trade in the second round this year to get 3 2nd round picks. All with the chance to be core players. I dont think he throws his long range plan away to get a player as AZ54 said would be a situational pass rusher in this defense. This year he picked up Dayo, drafted Turner who should be able to play in and out. Signed Jarret to help with the pass rush. No way he signed Grady and Dayo to throw away the plan of a 40+ mil player.

The thought of a high end pass rusher is intriging but he traded for Sweat, 2 yrs ago to be that player and paid him which looks like a cheap deal now. He had a great first year and in the second yr was injuried with a dysfuntional coach. BJ has stated several times how good Sweat looks this preseason. I trust BJ's opinion.

Trading for Micah is just a passing thought that will never happen.

This article lays it out quite well why the Bears are not in the running for a trade for Micah.

Thanks for washing my time.  There's not one darn thing in that article that lays out why the Bears are not in the running for Parsons.

Again, I'm not for trading for him, but damn.

I think its quite stated, he is going to go to a SB contender. If your Micah, you have some control over where you go only if Dallas decides to trade him. As much I think the Bears will become a contender this yr, does Parsons believe that? Who has the cap space and ability to absorb a 40+ contract in the future? We dont. On that list NE and the Raiders dont qaulify as contenders but both have great preceived coaches that may be able to talk him into it. 

Its a multi phased answer.

We dont have the Cap space-everything is set for paying Caleb in 2028 with the contracts already constructed.

We brought in a respected D coach that Parsons does not fit his scheme. Of course he is a major talent but who are you setting down to play him? You just paid 15 mil to Dayo and you are paying Edmunds 17 mil this yr. You can not get out of lots of dead money if either was to leave.

We signed Dayo, Jarrett and drafted Shemar Turner. Have a preceived difference maker already on the team in Sweat. Traded a draft pick to get Booker last year. (is he kicking that to the side to pay out a 40+ contract?

With bringing in BJ and drafting Loveland and Burder to go along with DJ Moore-Rome-Kmet, we are clearing changing the assets to offense in the last few yrs since we drafted Caleb. Are we throwing all in for  spending big on defense now? I think the draft will decide our defensive players.

It is just what I think the Bears will do and not do. If there was betting odds on it, it would be very high on not trading for him.

Yeah, betting odds should 20-1 for staying in Dallas.

Since we control Caleb for these next four years, nothing is set in stone with our cap space.  Here's a scenario: 

Bears receive: Micah Parsons, Jack Sanborn and Cowboys 2026 2nd round pick.

Cowboys receive: Dayo, Tremaine Edmunds and Braxton Jones.  Also receive:  Bears 2026 1st and 3rd round pick and 2027 2nd round pick.

Creativity is bad bitch in the league.  They can always find ways to wisely move money around to make ways to pay greatness.
