Garrett–Parsons Takes Center Stage as Packers Visit Browns in Week 3

The game doubles as a showcase of a pass‑rusher market reset triggered by Garrett’s March extension then surpassed by Parsons’ Packers contract.

Overview

  • Myles Garrett said he and Micah Parsons are "two of the very best of this generation," recounting that Parsons vowed in the offseason to beat his deal and later texted to ask, "Did I do right?"
  • After Dallas traded him to Green Bay for Kenny Clark and two first‑round picks, Parsons signed a four‑year, $188 million contract (about $47 million annually), topping Garrett’s four‑year, $160 million Browns extension.
  • Parsons has 1.5 sacks through two games on a managed workload for a recent back issue; he is off the injury report but said coaches will determine whether his snap count increases on Sunday.
  • Garrett enters with 3.5 sacks to tie for the NFL lead as Cleveland tries to avoid 0-3, while Green Bay is 2-0 and Jordan Love has not been sacked this season.
  • Parsons said his priority is getting his first career sack of Browns quarterback Joe Flacco, emphasizing his focus on Sunday’s matchup rather than next week’s return to Dallas.
