# Rich Eisen: Eisen pushed back on the idea that Micah Parsons would demand a trade, saying Parsons stays in Dallas and gets his deal done late as usual, and he also argued the Bills will end up paying James Cook rather than letting him leave. He added that if Myles Garrett is traded, Cleveland will certainly draft Abdul Carter to replace him. **Claimed:** Feb 24, 2025 **Pundit:** Rich Eisen — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/rich-eisen **Outlet:** Overreaction Monday (podcast) — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/overreaction-monday-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/traffic.megaphone.fm/WWO6062167309.mp3?updated=1740420428 3 checkable claims — 2 trade and signing calls and 1 mock draft pick — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet.
