Micah Parsons may be using a familiar tactic to push contract negotiations along.
Micah Parsons sent shockwaves throughout the NFL last Friday when he officially asked the Dallas Cowboys for a trade.

Unhappy with his current contract, Myles Garrett was seeking an extension from the Browns despite the fact he had two years remaining on the five-year, $120 million contract extension he signed in 2020. His tactic of requesting a trade worked and ended up earning him a four-year, $160 million extension.
