The biggest news in the NFL on Thursday didn’t involve the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>, but it does impact them. The trade of defensive end Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers impacts two games the Cardinals play in 2025.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys sent Parsons, who had been in a contract battle with the team, to Green Bay for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks.<\/p>\n

Parsons, in four NFL seasons, has 52.5 sacks and last season it was his lowest total with 12, which he accomplished despite missing four games.<\/p>\n

The Packers then immediately agreed to a massive contract worth four years and $188 million, making im the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league.<\/p>\n

Micah Parsons trade: What it means for the Cardinals<\/p>\n

The Cardinals are scheduled to play both the Packers and the Cowboys.<\/p>\n

The Packers got notably better. The Cowboys are worse and less scary, for sure.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals will host the Packers in Week 7. Parsons now gives them a scary pass-rushing threat to pair with Rashan Gary.<\/p>\n

The Packers were favored by 1.5 points originally for that game. That spread will certainly change.<\/p>\n

The Cardinals play the Cowboys on the road on Monday night in Week 9. Parsons was their best player. Yes, Clark is a nice addition for their run defense and gives them a solid pair of DTs with Osa Odighizuwa.<\/p>\n

But now their starting defensive ends are Dante Fowler and Marshawn Kneeland.<\/p>\n

The Packers are less beatable now and the Cowboys are more beatable.<\/p>\n
