Packers Acquire Micah Parsons, Then Give Record Non‑QB Deal After Cowboys Trade

New reporting disputes Jerry Jones’ version of contract talks.

Overview

  • Dallas sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks in 2026 and 2027.
  • The Packers immediately signed Parsons to a four-year, $188 million extension with $136 million guaranteed, the top non‑quarterback contract to date.
  • Parsons is managing an L4/L5 facet‑joint back sprain and could need an injection to face the Lions in Week 1, a risk Green Bay accepted after reviewing his medicals.
  • Agent David Mulugheta says Parsons wanted to remain a Cowboy, contends the team refused to negotiate through him, and rejects Jerry Jones’ claim of a handshake agreement.
  • ESPN reports at least three other teams expressed interest if talks collapsed, and Parsons returns to Dallas with the Packers in Week 4.
