Jeff Hafley is still an unknown commodity around the league.
He's an interesting commodity, going from his heavy man-based college stuff to more zone (like a lot of the league) with the Packers,. But , I am guessing anyone can make good use of Parsons
IIRC, Hafley was once on Bucs staff
Micah Parsons is only 25… he is/will be a game wrecker for a LONG time - and I agree with your assessment on GB.Micah Parsons is definitely in the Myles Garrett realm of talent. He's reached 13+ sacks since entering the league and his worst season as a pro playing 13 games, he still had 12 take downs. An all-pro talent, in his prime for 2 firsts and a player is a good deal for GB. Clark is a very good player himself but he's not in Parsons class. NFC North is a pass heavy division so its a good fit for Parsons and GB.
Still not convinced that is a super bowl caliber defense with the pick-up. Their cornerbacks are nothing to write home about and Jeff Hafley is still an unknown commodity around the league.
So what is the deal worth? It depends on whether he was viewed as a linebacker or as a defensive end. As a defensive end, the new-money APY is $47.17 million. As a linebacker, the new-money APY is $46.5 million.
