Dak Prescott expressed relief that trading Micah Parsons resolved months of uncertainty, allowing the Dallas Cowboys to focus on their season opener and team cohesion.
- Micah Parsons was traded by the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers four days ago in exchange for defensive lineman Kenny Clark and the Packers' first-round selections in the 2026 and 2027 drafts.

- Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst called Parsons a unique and rare talent, while coach Matt LaFleur described the deal as a "rare, rare, rare opportunity" to acquire a premier player.
- Since 2021, Parsons has maintained the highest quarterback pressure percentage in the NFL at 20.3%, and over the last four seasons, he has accumulated 330 pressures—matching the league's top total alongside Maxx Crosby, according to TruMedia.
- The Cowboys gained draft capital and Kenny Clark but face challenges at edge rusher, motivating interest in Falcons defensive end Arnold Ebiketie to fill the position.
