Overview

• Dallas sent Micah Parsons to Green Bay for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two future first-round picks, and the Packers signed him to a four-year, $188 million extension with about $120 million fully guaranteed.
• Agent David Mulugheta says Parsons wanted to remain in Dallas and never believed he was negotiating a contract in his March conversation with Jerry Jones.
• Jones’ side maintains there was a handshake agreement, while reporting details a Cowboys proposal around $40.5 million per year with a structure the agent says lacked strong early guarantees.
• Green Bay’s pursuit included broad due diligence, including contacts tied to former Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, and at least three other teams were prepared to engage if the Packers’ deal fell through.
• Parsons is practicing with a back issue that puts his Week 1 availability against the Lions in question, with reports noting a possible injection to play.
