Overview

• Green Bay immediately signed Parsons to a four-year deal reported between $186 million and $188 million, resetting the market for non‑quarterbacks.
• Jerry Jones said the trade was driven by run‑defense needs and stalled negotiations, with recent big contracts for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb shaping the team’s calculus.
• The Eagles made a strong play to land Parsons but Dallas refused to deal in the division, while executives said he was intrigued by the Ravens and Chiefs and the Panthers made an exploratory call.
• Jordan Love said he was kept out of the loop on the pursuit and praised the move while acknowledging the cost of parting with Kenny Clark.
• LaFleur described Parsons as rehabbing a back issue and “hopeful” for Sunday, and ESPN reporting indicates Green Bay could deploy him in a limited package if he suits up.
