Currently, the NFC East has plenty of drama, and the Philadelphia Eagles can sit back and watch it all unfold, knowing they don’t have anything to worry about at the moment.
Or, perhaps they could get involved. As the Dallas Cowboys recently learned that Micah Parsons wants to be traded, FOX Sports NFL recently dug up some odds via DraftKings to see who is favored to land Parsons for the 2025 NFL season and beyond.
The Eagles and the Patriots have the highest odds for any team not named the Cowboys.
A Look at the Odds
- Cowboys -300
- Eagles +1000
- Patriots +1000
- Chargers +1500
- Cardinals +1600
- 49ers +1600
- Rams +1800
- Panthers +2200
- Jets +2500
- Raiders +2500
The Cowboys remain the favorites to keep Parsons because, despite the drama, they hold the leverage.
Parsons is under contract for the 2025 NFL season, and the Cowboys aren’t going to cut his loose without getting value for him. The team has made it clear they don’t want to trade him away, and even if they did consider making such a move, it would take a huge haul in order for Dallas to pull the trigger.

The Eagles tend to find themselves favored for available stars more often than not, due to Howie Roseman’s aggressiveness in the front office. And when it comes to pass rushers, the Eagles are always intrigued.
But it’s hard to imagine the Eagles would be willing to cough up a ton of assets and be willing to offer Parsons game-changing money. He’s worth a major extension, but the Eagles’ ability to win a Super Bowl last season doesn’t make them desperate for such a franchise-altering move.
It’s also tough to picture the Cowboys sending one of their most important players of the past few seasons to a division rival like the Eagles. The entire division saw how letting Saquon Barkley walk to the Eagles turned out for the New York Giants. The Cowboys certainly don’t want to find themselves in that position.
Parsons entered the NFL as the 12th overall pick out of Penn State in 2021. He was the Defensive Rookie of the Year and earned a Pro Bowl nod in his first season.
Over four years, Parsons was named a Pro Bowler each time. He was also voted as an All-Pro three times, missing the mark last year, as he dealt with injuries.
Parsons hits the trade block with 256 tackles and 52.5 sacks.
