In a blockbuster NFL trade, and perhaps one of the most stunning trades in recent NFL history, the Dallas Cowboys traded star LB Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday. After weeks of contention between Parsons and the organization, Jerry Jones finally pulled the trigger and dealt his star defensive player to the conference rival Packers.
The trade sent shock waves around the league and the Cowboys locker room. Most expected Dallas and Parsons to ultimately reconcile because you just don't see stars like him get traded while still under team control for multiple years.
