Chicago Bears Connected as Suitor in Micah Parsons Trade Scenario

The Chicago Bears are, without a doubt, one of the more intriguing teams to watch with the 2025 NFL season officially underway.

After a very busy and aggressive offseason, the Bears are expected to take a huge step in the right direction. With Ben Johnson as the team’s new head coach and a lot of new talent on the roster, Chicago should take a big leap.

Last season, the Bears received a lot of hype as well. However, they were unable to live up to the hype and suffered through another disappointing year that ended with missing the playoffs.

Following the move to hire Johnson to be their new head coach, the team went out and brought in quite a few new players. Among those additions were offensive linemen Jonah Jackson, Joe Thuney, and Drew Dalman, pass rusher Dayo Odeyingbo, and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett.

Plenty of other moves were made as well.

With that being said, could Chicago be interested in making its most aggressive move yet? How about a trade with the Dallas Cowboys for superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons?

That is exactly what Matthew Schmidt of Chicago Bears on SI has suggested.

“Chances are, Dallas would want to trade Parsons out of the NFC if it did decide to move him, but if Chicago were able to put together a strong enough offer for the four-time Pro Bowler (a package that would probably include Booker and draft capital), the Cowboys may be willing to listen,” Schmidt wrote.

Of course, he is referring to second-year pass rusher Austin Booker.

Parsons finished the 2024 NFL season with 43 total tackles, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a defended pass in 13 games. Back in 2023, he totaled 64 tackles, 14 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and two defended passes in 17 games.

It’s still expected that Parsons will get a new deal from the Cowboys. However, if the team chooses not to pay up to keep him, the Bears would be wise to swoop in and try to acquire him.

At 26 years old, Parsons could be the face of the Chicago defense for years to come. He would be the kind of addition that could power the Bears to being a legitimate Super Bowl contender.

While it is an unlikely option, Chicago should keep an eye on Parsons’ situation with Dallas.
