Micah Parsons to the Packers instantly makes them Super Bowl contenders.
I don't care what they gave up: It was worth it.

As a Bears fan I do not approve of this trade. I'm just glad we don't play them till late in the season this year
-
Frankly I can't believe they didn't give up more
-
Yahoo! writers are saying they're surprised.
After the beginning of this week, why? I would have been surprised if Micah played for Jerruh for $500M/yr after the insulting crap Jones said.
-
Yep. Thanks Jerruh for screwing your team again.
-
Ask older Vikings fans how they felt about the Herschel Walker trade.
-
He’s going to eat the cheese
-
47 million a year
-
If they end up having a good/great season, then it's even better for them and worse for the 'Boys because those 1st round picks will be diluted. Can't wait to hear Jerry Jones try to spin his way out of this
-
Not worth till you win.
-
I mean, they still have Jordan Love at QB....so while Parsons helps them, they still are not beating the better NFC teams.
-
Laughs in Giants fan.
-
I now dread what Jalen Carter is going to get
-
Yay, great news. Jerry Jones is an idiot.
-
I believe Dallas law enforcement would refer to this as a Self Inflicted Gunshot Wound.
-
Do they just hate superstars in Dallas or something? 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
-
All depends what you think of Jordan Love, pretty sure B-Flo will have something to say.
-
It’s one player plus playing in that frozen hell people are always hurt.
-
Okay I hope I am wrong but I have also noticed the trend that these players who get insane contracts also get hurt early in season or a total bust ( scheme is just not a good fit or they get complacent, etc)
He’s amazing and I hope he stays healthy and makes Dallas feel stupid 100 times over tho
-
Omg, I can’t believe it. I can’t believe Jerry Jones would do this. I am thankful, but damn.
-
Yeah, cuz the Cowboys have been there soooo many times in the past few years.
-
not with that QB.
-
-
Yup. Just like he made Dallas Super Bowl contenders.
-
HA!!!!!!!🤣
-
They got a good deal but it doesn't Sb contenders by a longshot
-
I hope you haven't recorded next week's Distraction episode yet because @drewmagary.bsky.social will want to talk a lot about this
-
Despite this addition, I am still hoping Detroit wins the division...
-
Their problem was their offense sputtered when it mattered. Love has proven to be highly inconsistent.
Micah does not fix their biggest issues.
-
Cowboys or the packers?:)
-
Huh? Is this real?
-
They are going to be mid to late-round firsts, and Kenny Clark may be exiting his prime. Great trade for the Packers.
-
maybe if they found a way to line him up out wide
-
In my opinion. They didn't give up much. Highway robbery
-
He’s not a DE, he’s an OLB. He only plays there so he can get payed like a premier DE. He too small to take on guys weighing 75+ lbs more on any given play. Why his back is always hurt and teams run right at him. Cowboys became terrible run defense when he moved from OLB to DE.
Ask Packers in ‘23.
-
The Reggie White deal all over again?
-
Still no offense lol
-
-
They didn't give up much
-
Nah he’s too worried about his podcast.
-
Starting the team draft podcast right before this news dropped has added palpable drama to the listening experience.
-
Parsons for two picks between 25-32 in the draft is a steal. He is a one of one type player.
-
NFC North is going to be too interesting. I just needed a steady few years of the Lions solidly on top y’all.
-
Remind me how the cowboys did with him?
-
Well they gave up basically nothing. Just another example of Jerry’s ego being more important than winning. It’s pathetic.
-
Damn it!
-
Packers made an offseason move!
-
can’t believe they traded brett favre
-
First player to not back down, good for um
-
The Packers never make these kind of trades.
I can't believe my team has swung for the fences like this!
-
I just watched you on NFL Live and you said that it’s a mistake for Dallas to trade him, great job Packers but still bad Cowboys right??
-
Career playoff sacks...
That's not Reggie White walking through those doors.
-
I would be happy to see both the Cowboys and the Packers miss the playoffs for the next 10 years at least.
-
-
Yasssss queen!!!
-
Two 1st round picks are not enough
-
Dallas got a reasonable amount back, don't hate this trade for them, but if Love isn't up to the task GB aren't SB contenders.
-
Of all teams. Why.
-
Jerry Jones didn’t even get Micah out of the conference. Idiot.
-
The Packers are going to be good for the short term and long term. Thus the two #1 draft picks to Dallas will be very late in the 1st round.
-
Looks like I am a Packers fan now
-
Interesting to see who in the media is defending this trade (Bayless, Cowherd, Herbstreit.) They’re fools. And Jerry Jones is insane.
-
Dude's got a motor, that's for sure. I'm not super familiar with the Packers D. What other parts are around him?
-
I have to agree.
Another disaster for Jerrah. Interesting they kept him in conference. The only real surprise is they didn't send Parsons to either the Eagles or Giants.
You can now nail this to the wall and the season hasn't even started yet:
-
It’s a sad day in Chicago 🐻 ⬇️
-
I don't know why y'all think Jordan Love is that great. But I guess if you look at him like Trent Dilfer, a Packers Super Bowl could make sense.
-
I would have traded for a new thumb for Jordan Love if it was on the market, but this is something if Parsons gets in football shape quickly / doesn't get hurt in the process. Still think the layoff led to Aiyuk's injury.
-
I’m done with Jerry. After 40+ years of rocking with the Cowboys.
-
Dallas fan here. Not a bandwagon one but real fan. I blame Jerry for a lot of things but this one makes sense. Except how he handled it. Should have done it before draft and shown respect. But people need to understand Micah’s game. It’s all speed.
-
Luka level stupidity by my Boys.
-
Hyperbolic nonsense. They still are heavy underdogs in NFC north alone.
-
We will see.ots of times teams acquire big names thinking it will put them over the top and it doesn't move the needle.
-
Thanks, I hate it.
Love, Bears fans
-
Jerry Jones is a fucking clown and the Cowboys aren’t a serious team. I checked out last season and looks like I’ll stay checked out, maybe find a new team.
-
They could have all of next years draft as far as I’m concerned.
-
This Lions fan is less than happy😤
-
Bears fans right now:
-
Can't wait to find out what Tom Grossi thinks
-
The NFC North continues to be the most fun division in the NFL to talk about. A great move by the Packers.
-
As a cowboys fan, how on any level can this be viewed as not a complete and utter debacle.
-
Jerry Jones whips out his six-shooters, yells "Yeeeeee-Haaaaaaa", then shoots himself in the foot.
-
Jerry Jones is the worst GM in the long sad history of bad GMs
-
As a Seahawks fan
-
Luka and Micah in one year, sheesh
-
Micah wins and jerry proves to be a 🤡
-
That contract is a back breaker though. If he's not pulling the kind of #'s from his rookie season, not the last 2, it's going to be a disaster.
-
I love your work but it’s even better when you say things I want to hear lol. GPG
-
but i love kenny clark :( and two firsts on top of that plus the boat load of cash... i hope this kid is ready and hungry to win a ring
-
Micah Parsons in my division
-
-
Except that they gave up their heart and soul in Kenny Clark. As a life-long Vikings fan, this is exactly the type of move we've made often in the past that never worked out.
-
Agree! The NFC east opponents said Yay! The NFC Central said Oh No!
-
Before I knew the details I texted my Packers pal to congratulate him on the Packers Super Bowl victory over the Ravens & said “whatever they gave up was definitely worth it.”
-
-
Too bad for the @detroitlions.bsky.social
-
Go Pack Go!!!
-
And for years to come
-
Thank me later: bsky.app/profile/pack...
-
Crazy Dallas hahaha!
-
Dallas getting a bucket of chicken and a 5th round pick??
-
The “shareholders” are going wild!
-
Ffffffffffuuuuuuuuuccccccckkkkk Signed, a Lions fan
-
For a player like Micah any price is worth it, no matter how high.
-
God I hate being a cowboys fan
-
When was the last time the Packers were legitimately bad and had a top 10 pick? If they're what they should be, those picks are probably in the 22-25 range. They do this 10/10 times
-
Correct!
-
As an Eagles fan, I'm glad that the Jerry clown show continues and that Micah ended up in another division.
-
What if they gave up their QB
-
This Sunday night game is going to be insane. 😂
-
Help me, Mina. I am in crisis.
-
Lmfao. No it doesnt
-
What no it doesn’t. Who’s in the secondary
-
Me rn
-
As a Lions fan I am writing Brad Holmes a STRONGLY worded letter
-
Sure wish he went to Tampa 😭
-
Ehh
-
This trade crazy
-
Remember when the Titans traded away AJ Brown? This is dumber.
-
I know Parsons is a once-in-a-generation talent, but as a Cowboys fan, I'm cool with this. I'm worried about Parsons' long-term potential given his size and durability issues, and they get two 1's, a DT, and financial flexibility.
It does remind me of the Walker trade; here's hoping.
-
-
I can't even work out what they had to give up that matched the holes in the Dallas team.
-
-
"Micah Parsons is the ace up their sleeve. The Packers are gonna be trouble."
-
If Parsons were a ginger---Jerry Jones would overpay him....
-
They didn’t give up a damn thing… Jerry jones got worked like the failing dotard he is
-
Someone needs to get power of attorney over Jerry. Either that or he's betting it all on a GB superbowl.
-
Ditto
-
As Packer fan, I approve. Also how many more times can the Packers snatch the hearts of Cowboy fans?
-
This is the correct analysis.
-
Naw
-
They didn’t give up much.
-
Wow
-
As someone who has spent 30 years molded by Thompson/Gutekunst "we have impact players at home" thinking I'm a little traumatized by the price tag but hopefully this will pay off down the road.
-
And they gave up nothing
-
Can we talk about how you spoke your Dynasty QB depth into reality on the Ringer fantasy pod, with Spencer Rattler retaining the job, much to @dannybkelly.bsky.social 's chagrin?
-
Well, as a Vikings fan, this news just sucks.
-
Micah Parsons teamed with Edgerrin Cooper. Two rockets in the front seven.
-
The money is the biggest thing they gave up. They gave the Cowboys far less than market value. Incredible.
Go Pack!
-
Go pack go
-
Nonsense.
-
Caleb Williams right now.
-
-
He's a turd and the Packers suck
-
This year for certain. With 9 up for extensions they are going to have to make some hard decisions going forward.
-
It still runs through Philly but that defense just got a lot better
-
-
Does it though
-
Wow! I hear Ted Cruz was seen boarding a flight to Cancun.
-
-
As a Lions fan…. Good lort, smh 🤦
-
Well that sucks.
-
Except when he pulls a hammie in week one from not being ready.
-
Literally
-
All that just to lose to the Lions and Vikings twice a piece, smh.
-
Have to agree, Packers made a good call for a player as impactful as Parsons
-
2 firsts for a generational player that is only 26. 2 first round picks from the Packers, which have infinitely less value than cowboys picks. It's essentially a 1st and a 2nd in value.
-
Mmm, nahh
-
The real winner.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, gosh I love Jerry
-
He is young and wants to be with young people. You cannot mortgage your future, when you are the youngest team in the NFL.
-
Is Dallas just trying to exit sports altogether?
-
Every team is a Superbowl contender at this time of the year.
-
The city of Dallas has jettisoned Luka Donic and Micah Parsons in less than a year.
-
$120M guaranteed. This sort of changes the geometry of every contract negotiation moving forward, right?
-
I read that by some advanced metrics, Dallas has been one of the best defenses on a per play basis with Parsons on the field. And the worst when he's not on the field. Could Jerry be trying to tank so he gets a shot at Arch Manning?
-
Crazy days.
-
jerrry jones fails again. the worst gm in the nfl.
-
And the Cowboys continue their irrelevance in the NFL.
🏈
-
It wasn't much. 30 yo DT and 2 1st rounders that will be in the 25 and lower slots. Dallas on the other hand blew it. Should have traded him earlier to get a better haul.
-
Party time in America's Dairyland!
-
Somehow it didn’t make Dallas a contender though. I’m not saying you are wrong but
-
Jerry saw his own doc sand said: I can do it again. Can you have a recency bias of something that happened 3 decades ago?
-
Tanking for a Manning before the season starts
-
You could've picked any other team Jerry!
-
I doubt it very much.
-
This is how I found out lol
-
Put it like that….the Boys should’ve done what it took
-
As a former Cowboys fan I am disgusted!
-
As a Cowboys fan, I'm done with this team. Like, I dealt with them, but I wasn't too invested anymore. Now, I'm out.
When is basketball starting. I want to see Wemby. At least the Spurs are a competent franchise.
-
Bwahahaha! They might make the wild card in third place in the division again. That's about it. Vikings are going to win the division. Lions second, and Packers and Bears are vying to not be in last place. NFC North defenses are insane this year.
-
Best thing to happen to the Packers.
-
Packers GM can borrow that T-Shirt from the Rams GM after they win it all.
-
Cowboys will never excise the Dez Bryant drop at Lambeau.
-
But all anyone has to do is run or pass to the other side of the field. One LB or Edge rusher does not make the Packers a contender.
-
Trading away the best player at his position in the league is never a good move.
-
Besides what they gave up in the trade, they are also giving up multiple future players because of the money he commanded. I’m guessing that was part of Jerry’s calculus.
-
1 player does not make a Super Bowl team. He might make a difference, but you still have Love at the helm. Good luck. #GoBirds #FlyEaglesFly #Packers
-
-
Well his note to Cowboy fans doesn’t make it sound like he wants to be with us. That’s a little concerning regardless of any contract his guy negotiated
