If Bengals are hung up about giving Hendrickson a new deal that will likely be even cheaper than Parsons, why would they trade for someone who will likely be more expensive and/or look for more guaranteed money?
And why would Cowboys trade Parsons for Hendrickson only to get a 1st rounder but give up a 2nd?
Parsons and Hendrickson are both disgruntled, so it's possible neither would sign a new deal with their new team and both hit FA after this season.
And if Dallas sees their window being now, I don't know if they would feel the return would be enough to risk giving up their perennial 12+ sack guy who is hitting his prime and a fan favorite to get a guy who is older and may not fit as well in their defensive scheme, all to just jump up potentially 1 round in next year's draft.
If Dallas doesn't see their window being now, they may just look to trade Parsons for multiple early draft picks instead of getting Hendrickson + 1 draft pick.
Bengals- They get a 26 year old prime elite pass rusher.
Cowboys- They get a first RD pick and they get back an elite pass rusher in the process.
If they(Cowboys) can't get a deal done with the Parsons can they get a better trade than a first + Hendrickson.
