Green Bay traded 2 first round picks and DT Kenny Clark for Micah Parsons.
Wow. Dallas seems to be imploding - but it’s likely crazy Jerrie going into the deep vault of wizardry. Probably All-In 2025 version?

Green Bay is going to be a tough out now. The NFC while wide open it still is going to be a tough battle.
Micah is a really good player, but he’s not nearly as good as the lore behind him. I wouldn’t have give two first round picks for him. Packers see a window, so now it’s really on in the NFC North. Both the Packers and the Vikings will finish in front of the Lions. The Lions window is completely closed.
Holy hell
Wonder what @Dalbuc thinks of this one…
Damn. Would've been nice to get parsons. this trade firmly puts GB in the SB contender conversation with PHI. And lookit, he'll definitely be game-ready by the time they play DAL in Week 4.
Yeah, it definitely makes them contenders, but I’m not so sure Super Bowl is where they end up. A lot of teams are now in the “good” range in the NFCDamn.

Oh, I'm not crowning them yet. Just saying, if Parsons has a similar effect on GB's defense as he had for DAL, they're going to be the team to beat in the NFC-N and maybe the best overall NFC team to knock off PHI. Assuming Parsons gets 100% healthy from whatever back issue he has and whether GB-DC actually uses him properly (which I don't see as much of a problem). I mean, Love still has toprove that he's at least 80%=90% of what most people seem to think he is, but if he can do that, GB is going to be a seriously tough out.
Gotta put the Packers at the top of the NFC contenders with Philly and Detroit. Tampa not far behind, but the Pack just leapfrogged us.
Eh, I think Love and Dak is a similar comparison. Micah has been sitting out, now he's moving to GB with a boatload of money I think he has a little bit of a downyear getting his conditioning back and just having more money haha
This puts GB in front of Minn for sure, I still think the Lions are better.
Goff is miles better than Love.
Hutchinson vs Parsons is a wash
Lions skill positions are on another planet compared to GBs too.
I'm not nearly as high on this trade as the rest... Insane contract, lost inside DT, 2 first round picks... And their offense is still middle of the pack (pun intended)
“The facts are specifically, we need to stop the run,” Jones said during a Thursday night press conference. “And we haven’t been able to stop the run in key times for several years. And when you have the kind of extraordinary pass rush that [Micah] had, then the way to mitigate that pass rush is to run at you. If the pass rush doesn’t get you ahead pretty big time, and you’re playing even or behind, then you’ve really got a problem in stopping the run."
Micah is a really good player, but he’s not nearly as good as the lore behind him.
Who was the last player that two different franchises offered the highest non-QB contract in NFL history to?
Not bad for being overrated.
