Micah Parsons will wear No. 1 for the Packers, a number unused since 1926, following a $47 million per year contract after his trade from the Cowboys.
- Micah Parsons was traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday and announced he will wear jersey number 1 for the Packers.

- Parsons signed a four-year, $188 million contract averaging $47 million per year, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL and the franchise's biggest acquisition since Reggie White in 1993.
- The Packers abolished their long-standing jersey policy to allow Parsons to wear number 1, signaling confidence in his impact as they prepare for their Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.
