Around the League

Wow -- just wow:

Adam Schefter
ESPN Sources: Cowboys are trading three-time All-Pro LB Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.

Parsons and the Packers already have reached agreement on a four-year, $188 million contract. @DavidMulugheta of @Athletesfirst had a hand in the trade and ultimately negotiating the record-breaking contract that includes $120 million fully guaranteed at signing and makes Parsons the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.

Is Jerry tanking?

From what I see the Cowboys get a DT and 2 #1's . Glad he is out of the NFC East but IMO they let him go cheap.

I agree. I would have expected a bigger haul than this. I imagine that folks in Dallas are flipping out. (First Luka Doncic, and now Micah Parsons -- I guess Dallas is a place stars want to flee.)

I wonder which other teams were in the running here. I doubt Jerry would have traded him to us for anything. I guess in his old age he forgot that the last team to bounce Dallas out of the playoffs was Green Bay.

Just saw this go across the ESPN ticker. I can't believe that. Really surprised because Jerry usually pays his top players.

The guy is a 3 time all pro pass rusher and just 26

What the fuck are you doing Jerry?

Parsons and Reggie White are the only two players ever to have 12+ sacks in each of their 1st 4 years in the league. The Packers have to pay Parsons a lot of $, but gave up 2 1st rounders (will likely be at the bottom of the 1st round) and an aging DT that had 1 sack last year.

Jerry -- you got totally fleeced, bro. The Eagles sent Jerry a thank you note (I give them credit for that). The Dallas D was not good last year, and they've now lost their best and most impactful player.

We play the Packers on Sept. 11 -- maybe Parsons won't quite be back in game shape by then (I hope). Nice to not have to face that dude 2X/year.

The Eagles are going to destroy Dallas in week 1, and you know all the talk will be about Parsons no longer being on the team.

and Dallas plays the Packers week 4. This will be Micah Parsons month in Dallas sports media

Jones states he already offered Parsons the top deal for a non qb in the league and he rejected it. Real games are about to start. I see the trade a bit differently honestly. Kenny Clark is a 3 time pro bowler at a crucial defensive position who is supposed to be great against the rush. He's also durable. Getting 2 1st rounders is no joke at all and should net at least 2 very solid starters and potential superstars.

Could Jerry have gotten more? Maybe but doubtful. He was proactive and got a lot of value for a guy he figured he could not get a deal with.

I think getting two first rounders is a big deal. But this is Jerry we're talking about, he will find a way to screw it up. We do play the Packers in week 2, but I'm glad to have Parsons out of the NFC East.
