Okay guys, I have been sending in questions for years but have never had one answered. So I want your opinion on my draft idea. I love Micah Parsons, but I don't think the Cowboys can pay three players at the top of their positions. My idea is to trade Parsons to the Titans for the No. 1 pick and keep our pick at 12, take Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter and then see what falls to 12. Imagine the salary cap upside. Am I crazy here?Michael Mortensen/ Tampa, FL

Mickey:You are not crazy and applaud thinking outside the box. But I don't think your scenario is realistic. The Titans are not going to give up the first pick in the draft for just Micah Parsons. Plus, he's in the final year of his contract, and his cap hit of a guaranteed $24 million would far exceed what the Titans would have to pay the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

You are going to have to sweeten that deal with at least 2025 and 2026 first round picks. And the Titans would probably ask for more since they would also need to renegotiate that final year of his contract. Hey, but at least you got your question answered.
