But he plays the second most important position in football at the pro level.
Quarterback and guy who disrupts the quarterback, those are the two most important positions.
So could they get two first-round picks?
There's a chance they could.
Now, one wrinkle is, hey, he's got a contract through 2029 at favorable numbers, but...
Usually when you see a high-profile player like that get traded, he walks through the door with an expectation that there's going to be some sort of a sweetener.
So it isn't enough to just say, wow, the contract's really favorable.
We're not paying him $47 million a year like the Packers are paying Micah Parsons.
You're probably going to have to give him some money up front.
You're probably going to have to give him a raise relative to the market.
But even then...
The guy is incredible.
He works harder than anyone.
He's got a will to win.
He's told us stories at the Super Bowl how other players on the team will say, I want to be like you.
How can I be like you?
And he'll say, all right, show up at the gym tomorrow at 5 a.m.
And they come for a day or two and then they stop.
So he makes that commitment to be great.
And when you have a guy like that in the locker room, ideally with guys who are going to be influenced by that, it's going to make your team even better.
