Packers Acquire Micah Parsons from Cowboys in Major NFL Trade

The Green Bay Packers completed a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys, acquiring star edge rusher Micah Parsons after a protracted contract dispute. In exchange, Dallas received defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks, while the Packers signed Parsons to a record-breaking four-year, $188 million contract, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Parsons, a four-time Pro Bowler with double-digit sacks each season, is expected to significantly bolster Green Bay's defense and elevate the team's Super Bowl prospects. Despite some injury concerns related to a back issue, Parsons has begun practicing with the Packers and aims to be ready for the season opener. The trade reshapes the NFC power balance, with players like Packers left tackle Rasheed Walker expressing confidence that Parsons' presence will greatly enhance the team's defense. Parsons will wear the number 1 jersey, a number not worn in regular season by any Packer since the team's founder, underscoring his iconic status within the organization.
