Bears safety Jaquan Brisker is on a text thread with a few of his former Penn State teammates, including star edge rusher Micah Parsons. During training camp, after Parsons requested a trade from the Cowboys, the Bears safety playfully lobbied via text for his buddy to come to Chicago.
One day in August, Parsons texted the group and asked offensive lineman Rasheed Walker to get ahold of him.
Walker plays for the Packers.
“Ahhhh,” Brisker groaned Thursday. “It was like, ‘Yeah, he’s [going] to the Packers.’”
He did a few days later, in a trade that sent the Cowboys defensive tackle Kenny Clark and first-round draft picks the next two years.
