KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Just five minutes ago, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made headlines by responding to shocking NFL buzz: Cowboys defensive star Micah Parsons is reportedly eyeing a move to Kansas City — right as a running back officially departs Dallas.
The NFL world was already in a frenzy after news broke earlier today that the Cowboys had released veteran RB Tony Pollard (or another RB, depending on official update). But Parsons’ alleged interest in the Chiefs — a team that just hoisted back-to-back Lombardi trophies — has sent the drama into overdrive.
Mahomes Breaks His Silence
Speaking briefly after a team walkthrough, Mahomes couldn’t avoid the topic.
“Micah’s one of the best in the game. If he ever wanted to be here, we’d welcome him with open arms,” Mahomes told reporters with a grin. “He’s a game-changer. I’m always about adding guys who want to win.”
Though Mahomes kept it light, sources close to the Chiefs locker room say the quarterback’s endorsement wasn’t just polite talk — it was a subtle green light to GM Brett Veach to explore the possibility.
Why the Chiefs?
Parsons, 25, has become the face of the Cowboys’ defense, earning All-Pro honors and racking up sacks at a historic pace. But in recent weeks, reports have emerged suggesting frustration with Dallas’ roster moves and playoff shortcomings.
Landing in Kansas City would place him alongside Chris Jones in a defense already ranked among the NFL’s elite. Combined with Mahomes’ offensive firepower, it’s the type of move that could turn the Chiefs into an even more unstoppable dynasty.
An AFC executive told ESPN:
“If Parsons joins the Chiefs, it’s game over for a lot of teams. It would be like giving Mahomes another Tyreek Hill — but on defense.”
The Cowboys’ Turbulent Week
The timing of this speculation couldn’t be worse for Dallas. The departure of a key running back leaves questions about the team’s offensive balance, and losing a defensive cornerstone like Parsons would be catastrophic for their Super Bowl hopes.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones remained defiant when asked about the rumors:
“Micah is a Dallas Cowboy. We’re going to do everything we can to keep it that way.”
However, insiders say that if Dallas refuses to meet Parsons’ reported “conditions to stay,” the door could swing wide open for trade talks — with Kansas City sitting at the front of the line.
Fans React in Real Time
Within minutes of Mahomes’ comments, Chiefs Kingdom lit up social media with mock-ups of Parsons in red and gold. Hashtags like #ParsonsToKC and #ChiefsDynasty began trending, while Cowboys fans expressed shock and frustration at the thought of losing one of the league’s most feared pass rushers.
One fan on X summed it up:
“If we lose Micah to the Chiefs, we might as well just hand them the next three Lombardis now.”
What Happens Next?
While no official trade talks have been confirmed, the combination of Parsons’ apparent interest, Mahomes’ public welcome, and the Cowboys’ recent roster shake-up has created one of the most intriguing storylines of the offseason.
For now, the NFL waits. And with Mahomes’ message out in the open, the pressure is firmly on Dallas to either secure Parsons’ loyalty — or risk watching him join the NFL’s reigning superpower.
