As the football-following world began to come to terms with the possibility that the Packers could be very bad this year, Cowboys fans began to perk up.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the Micah Parsons trade, the Cowboys hold Green Bay\u2019s first-round pick in 2027. So, the worse the Packers do, the higher the 2027 first-round pick climbs.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s an important caveat, which works to the benefit of the New York Jets.<\/p>\n
The trade that sent defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to Dallas includes an important term as to the 2027 first-round pick the Jets received. It\u2019s not necessarily the Cowboys\u2019 pick. It\u2019s the higher of the two picks the Cowboys will have.<\/p>\n
Which means that, if the Packers bottom out (and the Cowboys don\u2019t), the Jets get the Green Bay first-round pick in 2027.<\/p>\n
The Jets, of course, failed to help themselves on Sunday, when they blew a 10-point lead to the Packers and mismanaged the late-game and overtime scenarios.<\/p>\n
Still, it\u2019s good news for the Jets. Especially since they also hold the Colts\u2019 first-round pick for 2027 \u2014 and the Colts are 0-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the football-following world began to come to terms with the possibility that the Packers could be very…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1010475,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[7,41,345,2514,2513,6,428],"class_list":["post-1010474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-green-bay-packers","tag-football","tag-green-bay","tag-green-bay-packers","tag-greenbay","tag-greenbaypackers","tag-nfl","tag-packers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117332363424408265","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1010474","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1010474"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1010474\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1010475"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1010474"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1010474"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1010474"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
