Would You Trade Micah Parsons for 2 First Picks in the 2026 NFL Draft?

[timb2]

Micah is our best player and his new contract will be very costly. The Browns have 2 First Round Picks next year. You could use these picks to move up to get Arch Manning or make deals multiple draft picks in the Day 2 & 3 and set us up with a bonanza of future key players. Would you do it?

I would trade Micah for a 4th in 2028

From which team? He's worth much more than two late round 1sts.

 

[TwentyOne]

In a heartbeat.

 

[jazzcat22]

When do you make this trade. He is playing on his 5th year option.
They would need franchise tag him, then wait until the draft to trade him.

What if the Browns do not have a top pick to get Manning. And maybe the Browns would want to pick Manning if none of their 5 current QBs work out.

For more like a 2nd and 3rd on top, yes.

 

[DoctorChicken]

No.

It’d turn the defense from fine to complete butt cheek. He’s one of the best pass rushers this team has ever had. He is a cornerstone player.

Look at what the Raiders got for Khalil Mack. They traded an elite pass rusher for two first round picks.

Where are the guys they selected with those picks now? Hint - they sucked. One guy is a bottom of the roster JAG on a different team and the other guy is in the CFL.

The fact that some people in this fanbase want to trade away a 25 year old who already has 52.5 sacks in his career is just absolutely absurd to me.

It is an inexcusably absurd opinion to me.

Jazzcat, this is Madden when everything falls your way and other teams do what you tell them.

Thanks for your thoughts …

Arch Manning would be a genuine foundational piece to build a roster from.

We then would just need a better roster builder(GM) and future teacher(HC) for him.
But yes, whatever steps it takes to finally land an actual elite QB should be done.

Good thing you have no input in anything. Hopefully your decision making in life is better.

Arch Manning will make a lot of NIL money in college and given that both his uncles, Peyton and Eli, played out their college years, I would not expect to see Arch Manning declare for the draft until 2027 or 2028.

The only way I see him leaving earlier would be if a team he wants to play for has the number one pick in the draft that year.

No. I think Micah is a generational talent and is worth the investment.

If there is a pricey player to move on from it’s Diggs followed by Dak

Maybe at the end of this year. Definitely not now.

I believe some of your information is wrong. One of those guys they selected with those picks was Josh Jacobs. The other first rounder is now in the UFL. They also received two late rounders. One is a JAG receiver now on another team, and the last pick was traded to the Jets for crap. The trade in reality became Mack for Jacobs. Neither Mack nor Jacobs is on the same teams involved with the trade.

I'd keep Micah. Not sure I trust Jerry to get two first-round impact players in the draft.

Rams have two 1st rounders next year. They like to do trades like that. I would Franchise Tag Micah next off-season. 2027 I would put the exclusive franchise tag on him and see if a team comes calling with two 1st round picks.

This was a different situation. The Raiders were in a full rebuild. Signing Mack to a huge deal would have been a waste for the Raiders. It's also a totally different reason than why the Cowboys would trade Parsons.

You would make this trade now, before the season. The Browns also don't need a top pick to get Manning. Just their good pick, with the Jaguars 1st rounder, along with the Cowboys 1st round pick, and whatever else to trade up in the draft to take Manning. All 3 picks will probably be between 3-12. I think that's what the OP was getting at. Not trade him to pick players. Trade him to move up and get Manning.
