Overview
- Both teams confirmed the deal sending Parsons to Green Bay, with Dallas receiving Kenny Clark plus first‑round picks in 2026 and 2027.
- Multiple outlets report Parsons will sign a four‑year, $188 million contract with $136 million guaranteed, making him the league’s highest‑paid non‑QB.
- Parsons was introduced by the Packers and chose jersey No. 1, a number last worn by franchise co‑founder Curly Lambeau nearly a century ago.
- Kenny Clark said he was shocked to be included in the trade, later describing a warm reception in Dallas and outlining plans to bolster the run defense.
- The swap follows Parsons’ early‑August trade request after stalled extension talks, a stretch in which he skipped Cowboys practices citing back tension and reportedly sought second medical opinions.
