The news that the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers is never going to settle in the minds of the fanbase.

Parsons was well on his way to having a potential hall of fame career in Dallas. Now, fans will watch him do that in another uniform.

It's never easy to lose a fan favorite, especially right before the start of the regular season. However, the team and its fanbase need to realize that not all is lost.

The Cowboys didn't trade Parsons for a washing machine. The team actually got some talent out of the deal with defensive tackle Kenny Clark.

Clark made his Dallas arrival on Friday, and his first comments about what he brings to the team should have every fan lining up to buy his new jersey.

"I'm here to ball. I'm here to be my best self. I feel like when I'm my best self, there's nobody messing with me. That's what I bring to the table, I'm here to play my ass off," Clark told Tommy Yarrish of the official Dallas Cowboys website.

The Cowboys really got a star run-stopper, who will do all the ugly work that goes unnoticed during games. But he's the exact player this franchise has been looking for.
