Jerry Jones is an idiot,and....

....I love it. He traded Micah Parsons, in his prime, to the Packers for a 30 year old defensive lineman, and two 1st round draft picks in '26 and '27 that will be late in the 1st round.

What an absolute botch job. Dallas has to be reeling right now. Luka Doncic last winter to the Lakers, now Parsons. I am looking forward to the Cowboys season absolutely going off the rails.

Yeah as an Eagles fan, that trade is fine by me

I was concerned that he would end up in Detroit but GB is ok. I don't think he is going to put GB in the SB, but obviously he will change how opponents game plan for their defense. However, if the Lions got him, and I believe that they had more cap space than GB; I think you could have penciled them in the SB today. Hutchison on one side and Parsons on the other would have been a nightmare for the whole league.
Maybe Dallas could have gotten a better return than one starter and two 1st Rd draft picks (probably late picks, but you never know), but they were never going to get a "H.Walker" deal. The flip side is that the cowgirls now have four 1st Rd draft picks in the next 2 yrs and that's not too terrible

.
Lastly, I know that Parsons played in cold weather at Penn St, but I do wonder how well he'll hold up playing in the really cold weather in GB...heated field or not, it can get real cold up there

Well said. Jones has proven to stick with coaches and qb's to long. Tony Romo was never going to get to a SB, nor will Prescot. His best decision was hiring Jimmy Johnson, his worst, letting him go. My three fav teams are the Broncos, and whoever is playing the Raiders and Cowboys.

Live forever, Jerruh. Live freakin' forever. Keep making money hand-over-fist.....because that clearly distracts you from the obvious.

Signed, every Eagles fan ever born

P.S. That said, $47m/year -- if the number is real and not inflated for publicity purposes -- is too high for Micah. Or any non-top 5 QB. Fine for 2025, but when some of the GB rookies want/expect to get paid, there will be some hard decisions to make. Absolute NFL truism: when you pay more than one player on your team above-market rates....bad things ensue, and your contention window starts to close.

Green Bay may have made a mistake giving him $136m in total guarantees over 4 years. I have a feeling you are correct in your assessment. The NFC north division is not happy today.

Dallas will be better in the long run. Parsons was paid way too much and GB is going to be hamstrung for cash to keep players. Dallas got a good player in return and 2 first round draft picks.
