Some thoughts on the Packers stunning acquisition of Micah Parsons:
A move like this, a big swing so uncharacteristic of the way the Green Bay Packers usually do business, is an indication that Brian Gutekunst knew that his team was not quite good enough to realistically compete for Super Bowls. When the 2025 roster was finalized after the Tuesday afternoon cutdowns, you could examine the roster, position by position, in great detail. It was a solid team. No glaring weaknesses. A young team but not an inexperienced one. A young, potentially star quarterback was in place. One of the league's best running backs behind him.
