Ex-Cowboys Coach ‘Shocked’ by Micah Parsons Trade
Micah Parsons signed a record four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers after Cowboys refused to trade him to division rival Eagles, despite Eagles' strong pursuit.
- This summer, the Philadelphia Eagles made a strong play to acquire All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons, with GM Howie Roseman calling Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones before Parsons was traded last week to the Green Bay Packers.
- Dallas had resisted trading Micah Parsons to a division rival, citing months of failed contract negotiations and a frayed relationship that led to the move last week.
- The Packers then signed Micah Parsons to a four-year, $188 million contract with $136 million total guarantees and $120 million fully guaranteed at signing, after trading Kenny Clark and two first-round picks.
- The Eagles had already started game-planning with Micah Parsons in mind and will face him later this year, including Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field on Nov. 10.
- The trade reshapes the NFC, as Micah Parsons, with 52.5 sacks in 63 games and Pro Bowl and All‑Pro honors, joins Green Bay Packers while Dallas Cowboys gain first‑round draft picks and Kenny Clark; Philadelphia Eagles had the capital to compete.
