Last Thursday afternoon, the Packers made one of the biggest moves in the team’s history by trading for Micah Parsons. The Packers traded away their 2026 and 2027 first-round picks and Kenny Clark to acquire the three-time All-Pro pass rusher. The Packers never make moves of this magnitude, and opportunities to acquire a player like Parsons only come around once in a lifetime. But as great as this move is, it will come at a cost.
Before diving in, let’s get one thing straight - this was a tremendous move by the Packers. Parsons is only 26 years old, has already been named to multiple All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams, and is just entering his prime.
