Cowboys Trade Star Edge Rusher Micah Parsons
Micah Parsons receives a record $188 million contract with the Packers; Cowboys gain defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks, freeing $19 million in cap space.
- On Thursday, Micah Parsons was traded to the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster deal that ended the saga beginning on Aug. 1.
- After months of talks, Micah Parsons pushed for a new deal to top T.J. Watt's pay, but Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones insisted he play under his current contract or leave, negotiating directly in April while Parsons wanted David Mulugheta to finalize terms.
- As part of the trade, Parsons secured a record contract worth $188 million with $136 million guaranteed and a $47 million average annual value, resetting the market.
- The move immediately frees up $19 million in salary cap space, and Jerry Jones argued it improves run defense despite critics noting the draft picks won't benefit Dallas' 2025 season.
- Long-Term, this trade echoes the Herschel Walker trade as Micah Parsons could boost Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love toward championships while Dallas uses draft picks to rebuild toward its 1990s dynasty.
