One week before the start of the NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys shocked social media when news broke that they had traded their defensive star, Micah Parsons, to the Green Bay Packers. In return for the Penn State standout, the Cowboys received two first-round draft picks (2026 and 2027) and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, a three-time Pro Bowl selection.
Micah Parsons shares emotional reunion with Cowboys
The situation arose because Micah Parsons wanted a new contract. In four years with the Cowboys, he had been the team’s best player, recording 52.5 sacks and earning countless accolades. Parsons requested to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The Cowboys refused, but the Green Bay Packers agreed.
Parsons signed a historic deal with the Packers: four years for $188 million, with $136 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. He has already debuted and, while he hasn’t fully exploded yet, he has accumulated four sacks with his new team.
Jerry Jones did the right thing, according to experts
Jerry Jones was heavily criticized for sending Micah Parsons to the Packers. Critics argued that edge rushers don’t win Super Bowls and that Jones didn’t want to commit more money to a single player. Cowboys fans directed a lot of anger at the team owner.
However, NFL analyst Colin Cowherd, on an episode of The Herd, said he would have done the same: “I would’ve moved Micah Parsons, too. Edge rushers do not equal Super Bowls.”
Only time will tell who is right, but one thing is clear: Micah Parsons is now with the Green Bay Packers. He hasn’t fully hit top form yet and is easing back after recovering from an expected injury, but after four weeks, he has recorded four tackles and 2.5 sacks.
One of those sacks came against the Dallas Cowboys in a game that ended in a 40-40 tie. In overtime, Parsons sacked Dak Prescott, preventing him from reaching the end zone.

Newey: Aston Martin on ‘back foot’ by four months
Aston Martin boss Adrian Newey has revealed his team have been on the "back foot" by four months.Formula 1's biggest regulation changes ever could lead to a shake-up in the pecking order, with Aston Martin tipped to potentially make a big leap forward under the influence of design genius Newey, who has helped create 15 championship-winning cars. F1 teams have been allowed to work on their 2026 machines since January 2025, and longer on the power unit side, but Aston Martin have already been playing catch-up and were late to last week's Barcelona Shakedown. "The AMR Technology Campus is still evolving, the CoreWeave Wind Tunnel wasn't on song until April, and I only joined the team last March, so we've started from behind, in truth. It's been a very compressed timescale and an extremely busy 10 months," Newey said on […]
