Overview

  • Green Bay acquired Parsons from Dallas for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, then signed him to a reported four-year, $188 million extension that makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback.
  • Parsons appeared at his first Packers practice on Monday, but multiple outlets report a facet-joint sprain in his back that could require an epidural and put his Week 1 debut against the Lions in doubt.
  • Dak Prescott said he "wasn't surprised" given how negotiations "got personal," framed the trade as a needed resolution to avoid a distraction, and praised the addition of Clark.
  • Cowboys owner Jerry Jones defended the move by saying Dallas can "win more games without" Parsons and highlighted a push to bolster run defense.
  • Rivals took notice, with Eagles left tackle Jordan Mailata calling the development a "sigh of relief," and Parsons is slated to return to Dallas with the Packers in a Week 4 matchup.
