Overview

• Dallas sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, and the Packers signed him to a four-year, $188 million extension that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback.
• Green Bay announced Parsons will wear No. 1, the first Packers player to do so in 99 years since Curly Lambeau.
• Parsons said he did not expect to be traded and learned of the decision through his agent, and he added his back is healthy for the Week 1 game against the Lions.
• Jerry Jones and head coach Brian Schottenheimer presented the trade as a unanimous, roster-building decision that adds cap flexibility and draft capital.
• Reports citing Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer said Parsons had rankled some Cowboys teammates and coaches, while the Packers evaluated him as a violent, versatile edge who can boost their pass rush in multiple alignments.
