This is the type of trade that shakes the foundation of not just the NFL, but all of professional sports.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dallas Cowboys have traded NFL All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in a deal that will immediately go down as one of the biggest trades in NFL history.
“ESPN Sources: Cowboys are trading three-time All-Pro LB Micah Packers to the Green Bay Packers,” Schefter wrote on his official X account on August 28. “Parsons and the Packers already have reached agreement on a four-year, $188 million contract. David Mulugheta of Athletes First 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.”
Parsons, 26 years old, was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft and is a 3-time NFL All-Pro and 4-time Pro Bowler through the first 4 seasons.
Parsons officially requested a trade on August 1, announcing his decision via social media.
“I have made a tough decision,” Parsons wrote. “I no longer want to play for the Dallas Cowboys. My trade request has been submitted to Stephen Jones personally.”
