Cowboys inserted hidden Brett Favre-style clause into Packers' Micah Parsons trade

The Green Bay Packers don't have any intention of trading Micah Parsons to another team, but if that changes, they'll need to choose the destination carefully.

Green Bay landed a phenomenal deal for Parsons, only sending two first-round picks and Kenny Clark to Dallas for a generational pass-rusher entering the best years of his career. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter revealed a Brett Favre-style "poision pill" clause the two teams inserted into the deal.

"Unbeknownst to everyone except the few who crafted the August blockbuster trade that sent Parsons from Dallas to Green Bay was a 'poison pill' condition that, according to sources involved with the deal, prevents the two-time All-Pro from playing for Philadelphia in the immediate future," reports Schefter.
