Overview
- Parsons was active on a managed snap count due to an L4/L5 facet-joint back sprain and logged a sack in Green Bay's 27-6 Week 1 win over the Lions.
- The Packers acquired Parsons from Dallas for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks plus Pro Bowl DT Kenny Clark, then signed him to a four-year, $188 million deal with $136 million guaranteed, the top non-quarterback contract.
- FOX’s Jay Glazer reported the Cowboys decided to move Parsons about a week before his Aug. 1 trade request and initially sought an AFC partner without success.
- Glazer said the Eagles submitted the strongest bid—two first-rounders, a third, a fifth and other assets—but Dallas refused to deal the All-Pro within the NFC East.
- League reporting indicates multiple teams, including the Colts, Panthers, Bills and Patriots, inquired once Dallas softened its stance, with an asking price of two firsts, a significant player and a record-setting extension.
