GREEN BAY — At the end of the day, Micah Parsons is fine with the fact that the Dallas Cowboys don’t plan on having a welcome-back video tribute waiting for him on the AT&T Stadium scoreboards. 

He’s even willing to accept the so-called “America’s Team” not giving refunds on season-long luxury suite rentals at the stadium, even if it means his will only get used once, this Sunday.

In fact, if there’s anything the Green Bay Packers new star defensive end is still perturbed about from the way things ended with the Dallas Cowboys, it’s that owner/general manager Jerry Jones didn’t even have the courtesy after four Pro Bowl seasons to tell him — face-to-face or over the phone — that he was being traded to the Packers and his time in Big D was done.

“It’s just one of those things,” Parsons said with a shrug Wednesday afternoon as the Packers (2-1) prepared for their matchup with the Cowboys (1-2) on “Sunday Night Football” at AT&T Stadium.

Perhaps that’s because, if the best revenge is indeed living well, Parsons believes that he is far better off with the Super Bowl-contending Packers — and yes, they are still very much a title contender despite last Sunday’s ugly loss to the Cleveland Browns — than he would be still in Dallas.

After all, not only did Parsons get the big payday Jones and the Cowboys were trying to avoid (four years, $188 million, $132 million guaranteed), but he also joined one of the NFL’s top defenses and has delivered an undeniable jolt to the team’s confidence.

So, so what if they aren’t planning on a video montage?

“There’s a lot of things I can consider disrespectful throughout this process, but I wouldn’t say the [lack of a] tribute is one of them,” Parsons said. “I just think there’s hard feelings maybe there for them.

“But for me, I’m happy where I’m at. And we’ve got a really good football team. So I guess I can [receive] my tribute in a win, I hope.”

While Parsons claimed Sunday night’s matchup between his present and former teams is “just going to be another game for me,” that sounds a lot like what a player heading back to their old stomping grounds is supposed to say.

“Once the game starts, who’s going to be worried about any trade?” said Parsons, who came to the Packers in an Aug. 28 trade that sent the Packers’ 2026 and 2027 first-round draft picks and three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Cowboys.

“I think the fans, the media’s going to get off on the pregame hype and all that, but once the game [starts], ain’t no one talking about the trade. We’re talking about winning the football game.”

Parsons said he has kept up correspondence with a handful of his former teammates — including wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who will miss the game with a high-ankle sprain — and Cowboys first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer said his players are looking forward to seeing their former teammate.

“They’re all excited to see Micah. I’m excited to see Micah — before the game. Maybe not on the field, because he’s such a good player,” Schottenheimer told Dallas-Fort Worth area reporters Wednesday. “It’ll be great to see him, but it’s a normal week.

“Look, Micah’s a great player. Micah’s going to make plays. I’ll just put that out there. Does he get a sack? [Expletive], I hope not. But, he might. He’s pretty good.”

Through three games, Parsons has a 90.1 overall grade from Pro Football focus, which ranks fourth out of 155 eligible/graded edge rushers, and his 15 QB pressures are ninth-most among edges. In 128 defensive snaps, Parsons has 1.5 sacks, five combined tackles and six quarterback hits.

In last Sunday’s loss to the Cleveland Browns, Parsons had five pressures, including two quarterback hits, and two run stops across 51 snaps. He also drew a holding penalty.

“I don’t know what that feeling is like, going back to obviously the organization you played for, the team that drafted you. But I’m sure it’s probably a weird feeling for him,” quarterback Jordan Love said. “But for the rest of us, [we] just focus on another week for going 1-0. Obviously, we want to get it for him, but every week we’re trying to win.”

Parsons wasn’t kidding about being stuck with the stadium suite for the entire season — “Yeah, no refunds,” he said — and he did reach out to Clark to see if the ex-Packers star wanted to sublet it from him. Clark passed.

As a result, Parsons promised that the suite will be teeming with friends and family members rooting for him — “The suite’s going to be packed out for sure, trust me,” he said — but he expects the Cowboys fans to welcome him back warmly as well, with or without Jones’ blessing.

“You know, I think Dallas loves me,” Parsons said. “I think they’re going to give me a good round of applause. There’s no hard feelings there, at least from me.

“It’s going to be a great atmosphere. I think this is some of the football you’re going to get in Dallas when it’s Sunday night against a rivalry opponent.”
