Predicting a Steelers trade package for Cowboys' Micah Parsons after official request
Micah Parsons' trade request has sparked rumors and speculation galore — but his viral Steelers comments from several months ago are the true hidden gem. It begs the question: could Pittsburgh actually acquire the superstar defender? Although it remains to be seen if the Cowboys will honor Parsons' request, if the Steelers were to offer a trade package, they'd need to send Dallas his replacement while also offloading a high contract — which is where EDGE Alex Highsmith comes into play. If the Steelers dealt Highsmith and his cap hits over the next three seasons of $18.6 million, $20.1 million, and $21.1 million, they could theoretically pay Parsons the top edge rusher money he's looking for — but may need to offer the Cowboys some additional premium draft picks as well. Here is a look at a completely hypothetical trade package that sends the Cowboys' star edge rusher to a destination he admittedly prefers: Steelers receive: EDGE Micah Parsons Cowboys receive: EDGE Alex Highsmith 2026 second-round pick 2027 second-round pick 2027 seventh-round pick The price to pay is undoubtedly steep — but there's no question the Steelers would boast an even more devastating pass rush with All-Pro DT Cameron Heyward on the interior and the edge rush duo of Parsons and former 2021 Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt. For up-to-date Steelers coverage, follow us on X @TheSteelersWire and give our Facebook page a like.

Bartram Trail graduate Julian Suri rallies from five shots back to win Korn Ferry Tour event
Julian Suri has finally won in America. Suri, a Bartram Trail graduate and Ponte Vedra Beach resident whose previous high-level professional victories came on the DP World Tour and the European Challenge Tour, birdied five of his last eight holes on Aug. 3 at the Ogden Golf and Country Club for a closing 63 to win the Korn Ferry Tour Utah Championship at 18-under-par 262. He defeated five players tied at 16-under, including 54-hole co-leader Taylor Montgomery and PGA Tour veteran Spencer Levin. Suri opened with a 69 in the first round and improved his score each day, posting subsequent rounds of 66 and 64 before the final day. Suri drained an 8-foot birdie putt at the last and had to wait until five more twosomes finished before he could put his hands on the trophy. Julian Suri moves closer to PGA Tour card Suri, 34, came from five shots behind Montgomery and Robby Shelton at the start of the day, the fourth comeback from a five-shot deficit or larger this season. Suri is the 13th first-time winner in 2025 on the Korn Ferry Tour and the second-oldest this season. Josh Teater won in Panama at the age of 45. Suri earned $180,000 for his second top-10 finish of the season and moved from 56th to 16th on the Korn Ferry Tour points list with five events remaining until the Korn Ferry Tour Championship. The top 20 players on the points list at the end of the season will earn PGA Tour cards for 2026. Suri won his first Official World Golf Rankings-sanctioned event since the 2017 Danish Golf Championship. That propelled a rise as high as 60th in the world, which qualified him for two starts each in the British Open and PGA Championship. He tied for 19th in the 2018 PGA. He has battled injuries since then and failed in two trips to the PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament the last two years to earn a Tour card. Suri has been playing on conditional status on the Korn Ferry Tour. Julian Suri won two state titles at Bartram Trail Suri has 15 career PGA Tour starts and won in his 39th Korn Ferry Tour start. His best finish was a tie for 8th in the Houston Open. Suri led Bartram Trail to the 2008 FHSAA state championship and is the only First Coast high school player to win back-to-back individual titles, in 2007 and 2008. He played at Duke for four years.

Cowboys' Micah Parsons requests trade, did Steelers' T.J. Watt play a role?
One of the NFL's best edge rushers has officially requested a trade, as Micah Parsons took to social media to declare his desire to leave the Cowboys amid ongoing contract talks — but one can't help but wonder if Steelers star T.J. Watt inadvertently played a major role in the decision. After months of failed negotiations with Dallas — and continuous shots from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones — Parsons made the trade request official with a social media post captioned, "Thank you Dallas!" Here is a short excerpt from his message: "Up to today the team has not had a single conversation with my agent about a contract," Parsons wrote on X. "Not one demand has been made by my agent about money, years, or anything else. Still, I stayed quiet, but again, after repeated shots at myself and all the narratives, I have made a tough decision. I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys. My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally." While Parsons alluded to other factors in play — like refusing to partake in negotiations without his agent present — the Cowboys star defender hinted at Watt's record-breaking deal and other edge rushers' contracts during training camp. 'When you go around the league, you see these other teams taking care of their best guys," Parsons said a few weeks ago. "I see T.J. got taken care of. Maxx [Crosby] got taken care of. Myles [Garrett] got taken care of, and he's got two years left on his deal. You see a lot of people in our league getting taken care of, and you wish you had that same type of energy." Despite claims that the trade request didn't stem from financial demands, his camp mentality tells a different story — and the Pittsburgh Steelers deserve more credit for getting Watt extended long-term, even if it meant making him the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL.
