NFL superstar uses hypothetical scenario to explain how he would join the Pittsburgh Steelers

Micah Parsons is on pace to be the highest-paid non-QB in the history of the National Football League.
A three-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro only three years into his career, the 25-year-old is already on his way to a Hall of Fame career.
And while he believes he and the Cowboys will work out his contract situation, there is a world where they don't and he joins the Pittsburgh Steelers:
Parsons would 'Hypothetically' Join the Steelers
Parsons has no interest in playing anywhere but with the Cowboys. He said it’s important for his legacy and doesn’t want to bounce around. But if he hypothetically did go home later in his career it would be to join the Pittsburgh Steelers not the Philadelphia Eagles, partly because of Mike Tomlin. – Clarence Hill Jr., Star-Telegram
Parsons and the Steelers already have history, or should I say Parsons and T.J. Watt, and it wasn't exactly a good look for the talented superstar, who missed the mark when analyzing Watt's game:
"I'm not a sore loser, I thought it [DPOY] should have went to Myles [Garrett] if not me," Parsons told Zach Gelb of CBS Sports. "If you look at the Titans game alone, and no offense, but T.J. played the Titans, and did you see two tight ends following T.J. Watt? (Like they did vs. Myles Garrett). Say what you want, but his [Myles Garrett's] presence is felt a lot more than T.J. Watt's and thats’s just the reality of it…
"…If you look at my win rate and my double team percentage, I was the best one this year so I would say me, then I would say Myles [Garrett] then Maxx [Crosby] then Nick Bosa," said Parsons when asked to rank his top five pass rushers before stumbling to find a fifth…
"…The stats don’t lie. I think he [Watt] might have been fifth or sixth in pass rush win rate. Alex Highsmith might have had a higher pass rush win rate then he [Watt] did,” said Parsons when asked why Watt wasn’t in his top 5 pass rushers. "This isn’t my stuff, I’m not just pulling this out of my a**, look at the stats."
I debunked Parsons' exact statement, but I'm sure that Watt would gladly welcome Parsons should he join the team, which seems to be a pipe dream unless Jerry Jones and the Cowboys lose all their marbles.

And for less money at that.
