In a stunning move that sent shockwaves through the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys traded superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, following a protracted contract dispute that defined his offseason.
The Cowboys received two first-round draft picks and three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark in exchange for the All-Pro talent, marking one of the most significant trades in recent memory.
Parsons immediately signed a groundbreaking four-year contract with the Packers worth $188 million—making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history—and he quickly made an impact with his new team.
While Parsons expressed sadness over leaving Dallas, he emphasized that the decision was out of his hands, marking the end of an era for the player and the franchise.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones attempted to put a positive spin on the trade, claiming the team’s championship aspirations remain intact despite losing such a key defensive player.
The deal not only reshaped the competitive landscape within the NFC but also sparked intense reactions from fans and analysts alike, leading many to question the Cowboys' front office decisions moving forward.
