Micah Parsons trade: Dallas Cowboys send All-Pro to Green Bay Packers

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:

Giants’ Andrew Thomas doesn’t sound like he believes he will play Week 1

Giants’ Andrew Thomas doesn’t sound like he believes he will play Week 1

New York Giants left tackle Andrew Thomas, entrenched in a lengthy rehab process from Lisfranc surgery in the middle of the 2024 season, remains uncertain whether or not he will be able to play in the Sept. 7 season-opening game against the Washington Commanders.

“I’m not sure yet,” Thomas said while seated in the Giants’ locker room on Thursday. “I haven’t really done a ton of reps. I’ve done some indy (individual drills), took some one-on-one reps. I’m just trying to progress slowly, so we’ll see. But like I said, I’m not making any projections right now.

“I’m just trying...

Canadian QB Taylor Elgersma working out for Giants, per report

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said on Wednesday that the would not carry a quarterback on their practice squad, going with the three they have on the active roster — Russell Wilson, Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston.

Elgersma, a 6-foot-3, 227-pound 23-year-old, was reportedly the first Canadian quarterback ever invited to the Senior Bowl after winning the Hec Crighton Trophy, Canada’s equivalent to the Heisman Trophy, in 2024 while leading Wilfrid Laurier University to a Vanier...

The New York Giants claimed former Baltimore Ravens’ safety, Beau Brade, off waivers on Wednesday. The 6-foot, 209-pound Brade is a former Maryland Terrapin — similar to someone we all know well (Ed Valentine) — and was teammates with Deonte Banks in college.

Beau Brade participated in the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl and...

TE Greg Dulcich signs with the Dolphins’ practice squad

TE Greg Dulcich signs with the Dolphins’ practice squad

Former New York Giants tight end Greg Dulcich has signed with the Miami Dolphins, per reports.

Dulcich is coming off of a strong preseason performance with the Giants in which he caught 7 passes for 53 yards and 3 touchdowns. While his total yardage wasn’t impressive, Dulcich showed a good rapport with the Giants’ quarterbacks and was targeted in high-leverage situations.

Despite that his performance, the Giants released Dulcich in final cutdowns. The Giants have a (potentially) very strong tight end unit with Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, and Thomas Fidone II, and the team opted for more blocking...

5 things we learned from Joe Schoen, Brian Daboll

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen was not biting on Wednesday on the idea of putting expectations on the 2025 Giants, or comparing the current roster to the previous three he constructed as the team’s GM.

He was, though, happy to talk about the veteran leadership dotted across the team’s “evolving” 53-man landscape.

“One of the things that Dabs [Brian Daboll] and I tried to do early on and it’s just hard, it takes time, is we talk about leadership in every room,” Schoen said. “We’ve finally been able to add leadership in every room, and we feel good...
