Niners Nation
Slow news day? Not anymore. The Dallas Cowboys are trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. According to Adam Schefter, the Packers already have reached an agreement on a four-year deal worth $188 million.
That’s right, the same player who is one of three players to record at least 12 sacks in at least four of the previous five seasons. Oh, and Parsons is just now entering his prime at 26.
Schefter said the Cowboys will receive two first-round picks and a “front-line” player. That player is defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
It’s a major shake-up in the NFC. Some believed the Cowboys would bounce back after a down year. Good luck after trading away your best player and only getting back a 30-year-old defensive tackle and no edge presence. The Packers were always going to take a leap in Year 2 under Jeff Hafley. He’s too good a coach for them not to. Now, Parsons makes players like Edgerrin Cooper better and takes pressure off the likes of Rashan Gary.
Does this put the Packers over the top? Or do they still have a ways to go? Can we draw a red line through the Cowboys this season? There are still games to be played.
