LeRoy Butler compares the Micah Parsons trade to Reggie White signing<\/p>\n

In his weekly show with Tom Silverstein, taped the day before the trade went down, LeRoy Butler compares this deal with the one that brought Reggie White to the Packers.<\/p>\n

Like almost every Wisconsin native who grew up following the Green Bay Packers<\/a>, former Wisconsin and NFL star J.J. Watt wanted to make sure this wasn’t April Fool’s Day in August or that “Parsons packing for Green Bay” wasn’t a satirical headline in “The Onion.”<\/p>\n

The impossible dream of Packers<\/a> general manager Brian Gutekunst pulling off a trade for star edge rusher Micah Parsons<\/a> couldn’t actually be real, could it?<\/p>\n

Yes, it could, and indeed, it is.<\/p>\n

Keep refreshing and reading to make sure it\u2019s real.<\/p>\n

No wayyyyyyy.<\/p>\n

And the Packers signed Parsons to a four-year contract worth $188 million? Thats a healthy sum of green and gold.<\/p>\n

As you can probably guess, participants in the social media game had plenty to say about Gutekunst’s all-in move to acquire Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n

This is a Lambeau Leap that Hollywood couldn’t have scripted better.<\/p>\n

(OK, like the “Draft Day” movie, perhaps it would be better if the Packers somehow got those two first-round picks back).<\/p>\n

But let’s get back to the blockbuster of a box office move the Packers and their fans think this can be. Here’s more social media reaction to the super-sized trade by the NFL’s smallest market.<\/p>\n

Quarterback Jordan Love immediately warmed up to Parsons chasing opposing quarterbacks:<\/p>\n

And Packers fans are ready to build sports media personality, Packers fan and Parsons trade-pusher Kay Adams a statue.<\/p>\n

And Parsons is a franchise player, so get ready for video game numbers.<\/p>\n
