Cowboys trade Micah Parsons to Packers

The Dallas Cowboys shocked the football world on Thursday by trading pass-rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster deal. The Cowboys received two first-round picks and DT Kenny Clark in return for the three-time All-Pro LB, who will reportedly be rewarded with a four-year, $188 million deal, making him the highest-paid non-QB in the NFL.

Parsons, 26, had been holding out during training camp and preseason while seeking a new contract from Dallas. He eventually requested a trade if a deal couldn't get done and now he heads to Green Bay to be the anchor of the defensive line for a Packers team looking to contend.
