NFL Trade Rumors
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones asked again about the decision to trade star DE Micah Parsons to the Packers a few weeks ago.
The move has seemingly elevated Green Bay’s defensive unit to being one of the best in the league.
Jones believes there are always ways to scheme around not having a great player available.
“There are 30 other teams, other than the Cowboys, playing without Micah,” Jones said during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan. “There’s ways to play defense and scheme that don’t necessarily involve, on any player, whether it be Deion Sanders, looking way back or who it is… A lot of people won a lot of games and didn’t have Deion Sanders on the field for them. How’d that happen? That’s called you’ve got to have about minimum 40-something players to play this game.”
Jones reiterated that the trade ultimately comes down to booster their future assets to build around QB Dak Prescott in the coming years.
“I see an allocation. I see more of an allocation here,” Jones said. “As opposed to Herschel Walker, which was to basically get draft picks and was basically a recognition that we would compete on another day, this was not that. This was a very conscious trade to get three, four, five, six players for one.
“Which will be better off? The one player? Outstanding. He’s an outstanding player. But we should be able to get, as a matter of fact, we’ve got one on the field [Kenny Clark]. And of course, people say, ‘But he’s no Micah.’ Well, I’m not going to debate that at all because Micah is very, very special. But I’ll tell you this right now, by the time this happens, and as we look forward to Dak’s time, when we made his contract and we look forward, this was the best way to maximize our chance to get a Super Bowl for Dak (Prescott).”
Jones also touched on positional value and allocating that much money to a non-quarterback.
