Green Bay Packers: Jordan Love’s Pitch to Micah Parsons Resurfaces Amid Wild Trade News Bombshell

Dallas Cowboys superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons dropped a trade request bombshell on Friday, making his demand clear to this team that he wants out. The Green Bay Packers are among the teams that can definitely get a boost on their stop unit with a player addition of Parsons’ caliber.

But, it remains to be seen whether they would throw their hat into the ring and join the seemingly looming sweepstakes for the services of the former Penn State Nittany Lions star linebacker.

Love tried to recruit Parsons to the Green Bay Packers—and the internet didn’t forget

Given Parsons’ trade request, it’s just timely for the internet to walk back a little down memory lane and bring up how Packers quarterback Jordan Love attempted to recruit Parsons back in February.

During an appearance on Parsons’ “The Edge” podcast, Love said that the player he wants Green Bay to sign was “sitting right next to me,” referring to the four-time Pro Bowl linebacker.

Parsons responded by saying that he’s a “for-lifer.”

That tune has surely changed several months later, with Parsons no longer having the desire to play for the Cowboys amid his desire for a huge extension contract.

Parsons, who is just 26 years old, had his 2025 option worth $24 million picked up by the Cowboys in 2024.

Through four years in the NFL, Parsons has accumulated 52.5 sacks with nine forced fumbles, nine passes defended and 256 combined tackles across 63 games.
