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

The Dallas Cowboys traded linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in a swift and surprising deal, receiving two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in return. The Packers quickly moved on the trade, with Clark practicing the same day before the deal was finalized, highlighting the speed and seriousness of their pursuit. Parsons, an elite defensive player and 2-time All Pro, signed a record-breaking four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. At 26, Parsons is in his prime and known for his versatility and high-level pass-rushing skills, with impressive statistics and accolades including Defensive Rookie of the Year and multiple Pro Bowls. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones described the trade as a major win and detailed that the deal came together rapidly on the day of the trade. The move shocks the NFL but is seen as transformative for the Packers' defense and a significant shift in both franchises' futures.
