"The Packers trading for Micah Parsons, after the Cowboys seemingly showed no interest in moving their likely future Hall of Fame pass rusher, shocked the NFL world on Thursday for more reasons than one. Beyond the fact that the Cowboys actually agreed to the move, Parsons' newest contract was certainly noteworthy, as he became the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history."
"Perry immediately shut down the notion that the Patriots would have been remotely interested in a deal of this magnitude, to which Bertrand suggested the strained relationship between Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones might have played a role. However, Perry dismissed that idea as well, stating his belief that trade talks would never have gotten far enough for their strained relationship to have been a problem."
The Packers completed a surprising trade for Micah Parsons after the Cowboys agreed to the move and signed him as the highest-paid non‑quarterback in NFL history. The Patriots were considered a realistic suitor because of available cap space, but the team did not engage in trade talks. Patriots fans expressed split reactions about surrendering two future first-round picks and a solid player. GM Eliot Wolf stated willingness to give up high draft capital for the right player, yet Patriots insiders say a deal of that magnitude never gained traction.
