Dallas Cowboys Trade All-Pro Micah Parsons to Green Bay Packers

The Dallas Cowboys have traded star linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster deal that shocked the NFL. Parsons, a three-time Pro Bowler and one of the best pass rushers in the league, signed a four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. In exchange, the Cowboys received defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks, signaling a strategic shift for Dallas focused on long-term roster flexibility. The trade dramatically strengthens Green Bay's defense and elevates their Super Bowl contention prospects, with experts and fans widely praising the Packers for acquiring Parsons at what many consider a bargain. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones described the decision as "gut-wrenching," but necessary for the franchise's future, while former teammates and fans expressed shock and disappointment. This trade reshapes the NFC landscape, positioning the Packers as favorites in the NFC North and serious contenders for the 2025 Super Bowl.
