Cowboys Reject Eagles’ Largest Offer, Trade Parsons To Packers

The Dallas Cowboys traded star linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers despite receiving a larger offer from the Philadelphia Eagles, their NFC East rivals. The Eagles reportedly offered two first-round picks, a third, a fifth-round pick, and additional assets, but the Cowboys were unwilling to trade Parsons within their division, preferring to send him out of the NFC altogether. The Packers’ offer, which included two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, was ultimately accepted, with Clark viewed as a key piece to bolster Dallas’ defense. Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones declined to comment on the Eagles’ offer, emphasizing the team is focused on its future and winning games. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer remains optimistic about the Cowboys’ Super Bowl chances despite a Week 1 loss to the Eagles, and Parsons made his Packers debut following the trade. The decision highlights Dallas’ priority to avoid empowering a divisional rival even at the cost of a less lucrative trade package.
