This is not a drill. Micah Parsons has been traded.<\/p>\n
No, not to the Seattle Seahawks, and thankfully not to any opponents on Seattle\u2019s regular season schedule, but this is still massive NFL news. The star Dallas Cowboys pass rusher, disgruntled and unable to agree to a long-term extension, has been sent to the Green Bay Packers, who are very much willing to pay him what he wants.<\/p>\n
Parsons, who has a measly 52.5 sacks in his first four seasons in the NFL, has reportedly agreed to a four-year deal worth $188 million and a whole lotta guarantees.<\/p>\n
The compensation is reportedly two first-round picks (as expected) and defensive tackle Kenny Clark, who\u2019s entering his age 30 season and coming off a down year.<\/p>\n
Good luck to former Seahawks offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, whose first year as Cowboys head coach now just got a lot harder thanks to no longer having one of the premier defensive players in the NFL. And to make matters worse?<\/p>\n
There you go. Any thought about the Seahawks trading for Micah Parsons is officially squashed. But at least Parsons isn\u2019t going to an NFC West rival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is not a drill. Micah Parsons has been traded.
