Comparing the Eagles' worst trade ever to Cowboys’ Micah Parsons blunder

Philadelphia Eagles fans are still laughing at the Dallas Cowboys for trading their best player, Micah Parsons, to the Green Bay Packers, but how does this deal compare to Philly's worst trade?

To put it into context, the Packers received Parsons and gave him a four-year, $188 million deal, which is $47 million per year, the richest non-QB contract in NFL history. Dallas received two first-round picks and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark.

Many Eagles fans would say the team trading star running back LeSean McCoy to the Buffalo Bills for linebacker Kiko Alonso in 2015 is the worst trade in franchise history. So, the question is which one was worse: McCoy's or Parsons'?

Examining how bad each trade was

Obviously, it's too early to judge the Cowboys-Packers trade, but Green Bay instantly receives a player that could be consisidered one of the best pass rushers in the NFL in the last 10 years. Parsons had had 12+ sack seasons in each of his four years, been to four Pro Bowls, and selected to three All-Pros.

The Cowboys get two first-round picks that look like they will be low picks since Green Bay will be competitive for a long time. Clark has been to three Pro Bowls in his career, so let's not discredit what he can do for the Cowboys' run-stopping abilities.

Looking back at the Eagles-Bills trade, Buffalo was acquiring a three-time Pro Bowler, two-time All-Pro, and leading rusher in the NFL in 2013. McCoy would go on to make three more Pro Bowls in the next four seasons for the Bills.

The Eagles acquired Alonso, a player signed by former head coach Chip Kelly. Alonso would disappoint, Kelly was fired, and Howie Roseman took back control of general manager duties. One of Roseman's first moves was letting Alonso go after one season.

Philly's trade was disastrous, but it at least sparked the franchise to make changes and win the Super Bowl two years later. Dallas has been set back for years from even making the playoffs, and there are no signs of the Cowboys' owner and general manager, Jerry Jones, removing himself from making football decisions.

The Cowboys should get the edge on their trade with Parsons still being worst than the Eagles' trade of McCoy.
