Packers Acquire Micah Parsons in Blockbuster Trade, Star Signs Record Non‑QB Contract

The move follows a public contract standoff after the All‑Pro requested a trade.

Overview

  • Dallas will receive defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first‑round picks in the deal, according to Ian Rapoport.
  • Parsons agreed to a four‑year, $188 million contract that outlets describe as the largest for a non‑quarterback in NFL history.
  • Reports differ on guarantees, with ESPN citing $120 million fully guaranteed at signing and others reporting $136 million guaranteed.
  • The breakup followed stalled extension talks and reports that Jerry Jones refused to engage with Parsons’ agent, fueling the trade request.
  • Across four seasons in Dallas, Parsons earned multiple All‑Pro and Pro Bowl honors with 53.5 sacks in 67 games, underpinning his market‑setting value.
