Packers Land Micah Parsons From Cowboys on Record $188 Million Deal

Parsons eyes an early debut in Green Bay after choosing No. 1 at his introduction.

Overview

  • Dallas sent the All-Pro pass rusher to Green Bay for defensive tackle Kenny Clark plus two first-round draft picks.
  • The four-year, $188 million agreement has been reported as the richest ever for a non‑quarterback, with outlets differing on the fully guaranteed figure at either $120 million or $136 million.
  • Parsons said he feels physically strong, will coordinate a ramp‑up plan with team doctors, and hopes to play in Week 1 pending clearance.
  • Jerry Jones defended the move as best for the club, citing run defense needs addressed by Clark and the added draft capital.
  • The trade follows Parsons’ public request to leave Dallas after stalled negotiations, capping a four‑year run that included multiple All‑Pro selections and 12‑plus sacks each season.
