Micah Parsons trade pitch reunites him with Penn State legend Sean Clifford

Perhaps Micah Parsons could form a duo with one of his former Penn State teammates, Sean Clifford. 

Clifford is one of the all-time great quarterbacks in Penn State history, doing whatever he could during his time with the Nittany Lions to help the team win at the highest level. 

Unfortunately, Clifford and Parsons didn't win a national championship, but several other factors also needed to be considered. Regardless, both of them found themselves in the NFL now, and while they’re in very different positions career-wise, it's possible that they could look to reunite. 

The Athletics' Matt Schneidman recently proposed an idea for that to happen, pitching an idea for the Cowboys to send Parsons to the Green Bay Packers after his trade request. The trade would bring back two first-round picks, something the Packers typically don't do.

“Packers trade 2026 first-round pick, 2027 first-round pick and WR Romeo Doubs for Parsons.

“The Packers don’t make these types of trades. General manager Brian Gutekunst might dry heave at the thought of giving away his next two first-round picks and a reliable offensive weapon. However, this situation is different, draft capital, Doubs and the contract Parsons is due be damned. Gutekunst is entering his eighth season as Packers GM having never made a Super Bowl appearance. New team president Ed Policy isn’t extending Gutekunst’s contract (yet), which has two years remaining on it, and doesn’t want him in a contract year,” he wrote. 

It feels safe to say that Parsons, at the very least, will cost two first-round picks. Perhaps the Cowboys don't have a ton of leverage, but this is also a top-two player in the NFL defensively. 

Parsons is that good, and that cost will be high.
