DALLAS — As of Thursday, it's official: All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons is packing up his bags after four years in Dallas and heading to the Green Bay Packers after a lengthy contract stalemate with the Dallas Cowboys.
In the latest shockwave to hit the Dallas sports world, Parsons was traded to the Packers on Thursday in exchange for two first-round draft picks and Defensive Tackle Kenny Clark.
Parsons agreed to a four-year, $188 million deal with the Packers to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
It marked the culmination of a long summer of offseason drama between Parsons and the Cowboys over a potential contract extension.
