It’s been exactly a month since the blockbuster trade that saw Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys trade Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and veteran Kenny Clark. Tonight, the two teams face off under the lights in Dallas on Sunday Night Football while the rest of the world waits anxiously to see how the stars perform against their former teams.

Earlier today on the NFL on Fox pregame show, NFL Insider Jay Glazer revealed that both Parsons and Clark would be honorary captains for their respective teams tonight. He also noted that Parsons still owns his Dallas home and welcomed Packers coaches and players there last night ahead of the game. Glazer also spoke with Kenny Clark, who said he feels he’s been overlooked in the trade and added that he hopes to show the Packers tonight that they traded away the wrong guy.

Earlier this week Parsons said he still had his suite at AT&T Stadium, since he wasn’t allowed a refund after the trade, and had offered it to Kenny Clark. Tonight, though, it will be filled with Micah Parsons’ family, with Parsons saying the suite will be “packed out”.

Glazer also shared that during Packers training camp he spoke with GM Brian Gutekunst, who questioned just how serious the Cowboys were about trading Parsons. Glazer confirmed they were, and before long, Parsons was a Packer.

Now, all that’s left is to see who wins tonight’s head-to-head showdown…and whether the Packers can once again make Jerry Jones cry.
