Overview

• Green Bay is sending two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to Dallas as part of the trade, per multiple reports.
• Parsons agreed to a four-year, $188 million extension with $120 million fully guaranteed at signing and $136 million in total guarantees, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.
• The move follows Parsons’ Aug. 1 trade request and a training-camp hold-in during a dispute over whether negotiations could proceed without his agent.
• Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had said he believed there was a handshake agreement before talks unraveled; Parsons published a farewell message thanking Cowboys fans.
• The agreement was completed one week before the 2025 season opener, rapidly reshaping Green Bay’s pass rush and Dallas’s defensive front.
