The Green Bay Packers shocked the NFL world less than two weeks ahead of the 2025 NFL season as they traded for Micah Parsons and gave him a four-year, $188 million extension to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. The pass-rusher had spent the first four seasons of his career with the Dallas Cowboys, establishing himself as one of the league's premier players.
Parsons is set to make his return to AT&T Stadium this weekend as the Packers visit the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Former Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy, who also coached the superstar during his entire tenure in Dallas, had high praise for the newest Packers star.
