Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday that the Cowboys inserted a poison‑pill clause in the Micah Parsons deal with Green Bay.
- Under the condition, the Packers would owe Dallas their 2028 first-round pick if they trade Parsons to an NFC East team such as the Eagles, Giants, or Commanders.
- Sources told ESPN the restriction applies through the 2025 and 2026 seasons, leaving no clean path to an NFC East move until 2027.
- A matching clause covers Kenny Clark, requiring Dallas to send Green Bay its 2028 first-round pick if Clark is dealt to an NFC North team.
- The original blockbuster sent Parsons to the Packers for two first-rounders and Clark, and league sources said the mechanism was aimed at keeping Parsons out of Philadelphia after an earlier Eagles pursuit.
