Micah Parsons #11 of the Dallas Cowboys warms up before a game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on December 29, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • Dallas confirmed it traded Parsons to Green Bay for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks and veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
  • Parsons will receive a reported four-year, $188 million extension with about $136 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non‑quarterback.
  • The move ends a public standoff after Jerry Jones resisted working through Parsons’ agent and the All‑Pro formally asked to be dealt.
  • Parsons joins Rashan Gary on a unit that ranked 20th in pressure rate last season, with his Packers debut scheduled for September 7 against the Lions.
  • League reaction was sharp, with multiple executives questioning Dallas’ timing as Parsons thanked Cowboys fans and posted "GO Pack Go" on social media.
