"Micah Parsons is headed to the Green Bay Packers after a blockbuster trade on Thursday, leaving the Dallas Cowboys following a lengthy contract dispute. The Packers gave up first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 along with three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark to get the two-time All-Pro edge rusher, who agreed to a contract extension with Green Bay. A person with knowledge of the details said Parsons and the Packers agreed on a record-setting $188 million, four-year contract that includes $136 million guaranteed."
""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.""
""We did think it was in the best interest of our organization not only for the future but for this season as well," Jones said. "We gained a Pro Bowl player in an area we had big concerns in, on the inside of our defense." Jones added: "I really like Micah. ... He's a great player. There's no question I could've signed him in April. We all know to have agreements, all parties have to agree. I did make Micah an offer. It wasn't acceptable and I honor the fact that it wasn't done the way he wanted to do it through an agent. There's not an ounce of vindictiveness. There's no bad feelings on my part.""
