"Seemingly against all odds, Micah Parsons' contract dispute with the Dallas Cowboys ended with the superstar edge rusher being traded. On Thursday evening, Dallas did the unthinkable, dealing Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The move paid off for Parsons, literally. Upon joining his new team, the Packers handed him a four-year, $188 million contract which included $120 million fully guaranteed at signing."
"The franchise-altering trade came a week before the 2025 season kicks off, changing what we think of the Cowboys and Packers for this season and beyond. But before I break this down, I want to make one thing clear: There is a price in which it makes sense to trade every player, even Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. But that doesn't mean Dallas got that type of return for Parsons."
The Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The Packers signed Parsons to a four-year, $188 million contract with $120 million fully guaranteed at signing. Parsons has produced 12–14.5 sacks each season and generates consistent down-to-down disruption as an edge rusher. The trade occurred one week before the 2025 season and immediately alters expectations for both franchises. The return for Dallas is viewed by some as insufficient relative to Parsons' impact and value, raising questions about roster direction.
