Cowboys Trade Micah Parsons to Packers for Two First-Round Picks, Kenny Clark

The Dallas Cowboys traded star pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster deal involving two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Despite significant interest from multiple NFL teams, including the Philadelphia Eagles who offered multiple high-round picks, Dallas refused to trade Parsons within their division, leading to the Packers securing the trade. Other teams such as the Colts, Bills, Patriots, and Panthers also inquired but could not meet Dallas's demanding price of two first-round picks and a high-level defensive player. Parsons subsequently signed a record-breaking four-year, $186 million contract extension with Green Bay, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Although Parsons is listed as questionable for the Packers' season opener due to back issues, his arrival marks a major strategic push for Green Bay, while Dallas aims to leverage the acquired draft capital and Clark to rebuild their defense. The first game featuring Parsons against his former team is set for Week 4 on Sunday Night Football, setting up a highly anticipated matchup.
