Packers Acquire Micah Parsons on Four-Year, $188 Million Deal After Trade With Cowboys

Reports disagree on the fully guaranteed amount, a detail that could shape cap planning as well as the non‑quarterback market.

Overview

  • Dallas sent the All‑Pro pass rusher to Green Bay and received defensive tackle Kenny Clark plus two first‑round draft picks in return.
  • Contract figures reported by major outlets list a four‑year, $188 million agreement that would make Parsons the highest‑paid non‑quarterback, with guarantees variously cited around $120 million or $136 million.
  • Jerry Jones publicly defended the move, emphasizing immediate help versus the run from Clark and the long‑term flexibility provided by additional first‑round selections.
  • Parsons was introduced by the Packers and said he will wear jersey number 1 in Green Bay.
  • The three‑time All‑Pro leaves Dallas after four seasons with 12‑plus sacks each year, and his arrival addresses Green Bay’s need for a premier edge threat after inconsistent pressure last season.
