The Dallas Cowboys are stunningly trading All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, per Adam Schefter and others.
Per Schefter, the Packers and Parsons have already agreed to a four-year, $188 million contract with $120 million guaranteed. That makes Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
Parsons posted this on ‘X’:
Giants fans might feel the same way … at least with the first part.
Here is a quick list from Schefter of what Parsons accomplished in Dallas since being the 12th pick in the 201 NFL Draft:
The folks at Acme Packing Company, SB Nation’s Packers website, are already celebrating the news. The folks at Blogging The Boys, covering the Cowboys, are in disbelief.
Keep dropping by both sites to see how the two fan bases process this monumental trade.
Parsons, of course, has been seeking a new contract. Dallas owner/GM Jerry Jones overplayed his hand, and has now ended up weakening the Cowboys by trading away a 26-year-old who might be the best defensive player in football.
Per Schefter, the Cowboys got defensive tackle Kenny Clark and a pair of first-round picks in return.
