"I never wanted this chapter to end, but not everything was in my control, Parsons wrote in a statement he posted on X. My heart has always been here, and still is. Through it all, I never made any demands. I never asked for anything more than fairness. I only asked that the person I trust to negotiate my contract be part of the process."
"Cowboys owner Jerry Jones declined to discuss Parsons' deal with agent David Mulugheta. Instead, Jones spoke directly to Parsons and insisted they had agreed on the parameters of a new contract. The Cowboys are receiving two first-round picks and veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark for Parsons, a person with knowledge of the trade told the AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams haven't released the terms."
Micah Parsons is headed to the Green Bay Packers after a blockbuster trade, leaving the Dallas Cowboys following a lengthy contract dispute. Parsons and the Packers agreed on a record-setting four-year, $188 million contract with $136 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Parsons posted a statement on X expressing reluctance about the departure and a request for fairness and for his chosen negotiator to be involved. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones declined to discuss the agent and said he and Parsons had agreed on parameters. The Cowboys received two first-round picks and veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark. People with knowledge spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade has not been announced. San Francisco does not play either team in the regular season this year and opens the 2025 season Sept. 7 in Seattle against the Seahawks.
