Just prior to the kickoff of the 2025 NFL season, a gargantuan trade has sent a shockwave across the league.
The Dallas Cowboys announced on Thursday that they are sending Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round draft picks and DT Kenny Clark. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Jane Slater first reported the news. The all-world edge rusher had been a hold-in since the beginning of training camp -- seeking a new contract prior to the final season of his rookie deal -- and he publicly requested a trade at the outset of August. On Thursday, Parsons received both wishes. After his arrival in Green Bay, he will sign a four-year, $188 million contract with $136 million guaranteed that will make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league hist
