Jacksonville Jaguars’ cornerback Jourdan Lewis, a former teammate of Micah Parsons, reacted to the news that he was traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers.
In a blockbuster trade, the news broke on Thursday afternoon that the Cowboys were trading Parsons to Green Bay in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
In addition to that, Parsons is now the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL, signing a new deal with the Packers worth $188 million over four seasons, which includes $136 million guaranteed.

Before joining the Jaguars, Lewis had spent eight seasons with the Cowboys, which included playing the last four with Parsons.
