BLOCKBUSTER Trade: Cowboys Trading Micah Parson To Packers

Green Bay is sending the Cowboys two first-round picks as part of this trade. 

The Packers are signing Parson to a four-year, $188 million contract that includes $136 million guaranteed as part of the deal.

This contract pays Parson a staggering $47 million per year, which makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

Parsons, 25, was the former No. 12 overall pick by the Cowboys in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Penn State. He played out the final year of a four-year, $17,079,792 rookie contract that included a $9,781,667 signing bonus.

Dallas exercised the fifth-year option for Parsons, and he’s slated to make $21.32 million guaranteed in 2025. 

In 2024, Parsons appeared in 13 games for the Cowboys and recorded 43 total tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, two forced fumbles, and one pass deflection.
