Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys Trade Micah Parsons To Green Bay Packers

Reese, Kmac and Alex discuss Jerry Jones trading Micah Parsons to the Packers.

Yesterday, Micah Parsons was traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster deal that has shaken up the NFL. The Cowboys received two first-round draft picks (2026 and 2027) along with Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark in exchange for their star linebacker. Immediately after the trade, Parsons signed a record-setting four-year, $188M contract with the Packers, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The deal includes $136M guaranteed, with $120M fully guaranteed at signing and $62M in his first year alone. The move has also drawn sharp criticism toward the Cowboys' front office.

Many consider the decision to trade Parsons—arguably the league’s most dominant defensive player—a major misstep, with some going as far as labeling it one of the worst mistakes in Jerry Jones’s career. As both teams move forward, the trade is expected to have a lasting impact on the competitive balance of the NFC and the league as a whole. Would you have traded Parsons? Was this a good trade? Were you shocked when you heard the news?
