Overview

• Dallas receives 2026 and 2027 first-round picks plus three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark, the teams confirmed.
• Parsons agreed to a four-year, $188 million contract with roughly $136 million guaranteed at $47 million per year, making him the NFL’s highest-paid non‑quarterback, with $120 million fully guaranteed at signing per reports.
• The move concludes a public standoff that included Parsons’ Aug. 1 trade request and a training-camp hold-in; he said he “never asked for anything more than fairness” and wanted his agent involved.
• Green Bay departs from its draft-and-develop model to bolster a pass rush that lagged last season, pairing Parsons with Rashan Gary a week before the regular season.
• League reaction was fierce, with multiple executives questioning Dallas’ timing and calling the decision to trade Parsons now “beyond idiotic,” according to reported texts.
