The 2025 NFL season is coming up quickly, but Micah Parsons has stirred up the rumor mill in a huge way. After publicly requesting a trade from the Dallas Cowboys, plenty of speculation has been rising. One team viewed as a potential contender to acquire Parsons is the San Francisco 49ers.
Last season, the 49ers missed the playoffs. Just two years ago, they made a run to the Super Bowl before being defeated by the Kansas City Chiefs.
San Francisco wants to get back to the big game and win it. Making a blockbuster move to pair Parsons with Nick Bosa would be a huge step in that direction.

With that being said, the 49ers have received surprising odds as a potential suitor for Parsons.
In a recent social media post from Fox Sports, they shared the odds given by DraftKings for Parsons’ next team. San Francisco landed tied at No. 5 with the Arizona Cardinals.
What Are the Odds for Micah Parsons’ Next Team?
- Cowboys -300
- Eagles +1000
- Patriots +1000
- Chargers +1500
- Cardinals +1600
- 49ers +1600
- Rams +1800
- Panthers +2200
- Jets +2500
- Raiders +2500
Parsons would give the 49ers an even more intimidating defense. With Robert Saleh back in town as the team’s defensive coordinator, San Francisco is hoping to get back to their defense-first mentality from a few years back.
During the 2024 NFL season with the Cowboys, Parsons dealt with some injury issues and played in 13 games. He still racked up 43 total tackles, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles, and a defended pass.
In 2023 with a full 17-game season, he racked up 64 tackles, 14 sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and two defended passes.
At 26 years old, Parsons would be a long-term pickup for the 49ers. He wouldn’t come cheap, but he would be well worth the investment that it would take to get him.
There is still a chance that Dallas refuses to trade Parsons and that the two sides work out a long-term extension. However, if he does force his way out from the Cowboys, San Francisco should be one of the teams trying to make an aggressive move for him.
Expect to hear more news about Parsons in the near future. With his trade request now officially out in public, the rumors and speculation will continue gaining steam.
