Overview

  • Dallas confirmed it traded the All-Pro edge rusher to Green Bay for defensive tackle Kenny Clark plus the Packers’ 2026 and 2027 first-round picks.
  • Green Bay promptly agreed to a reported four-year, $188 million extension for Parsons with roughly $136 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback at about $47 million per year.
  • Sportsbooks shortened the Packers’ Super Bowl odds after the move, reflecting expectations that Parsons elevates their pass rush and title outlook.
  • Anonymous NFL executives and early grades criticized the Cowboys’ timing and logic, calling the decision “beyond idiotic” and praising Green Bay’s haul.
  • Jerry Jones defended the deal as a push to bolster run defense and long-term roster construction, with a Week 4 primetime reunion set when Green Bay visits Dallas.
