BREAKING NEWS ***** Cowboys are trading LB Micah Packers to Green Bay Packers *****

Opposing offense had to gameplan for Micah. Now they'll face Dante Fowler, Sam Williams, Kneeland, and a rookie.

This is not, in any way, a 'good trade'.

The Cowboys won 7 games last year.
Micah doesn't move a needle enough for this team to pay him the highest ever non-QB contract.

They saved about 40M PER year in the Clark/Parsons swap and got two R1 picks.
And yes, we can forecast those will be picks in the mid to late 20s until we see GB suffer injuries or some nonsense and you end up picking higher than you ever expected.

No doubt Micah is a stud pass rusher, but you have been adding top 60 draftee pash rushers every season for 3 years now.
Williams, Osa, Clark, Fowler is a lot better than most teams on 3rd down.

Dallas was in big games with Micah, see the Green bay playoff game but it didn't help, he ran his mouth all week prior to the game, didn't show up in the game and then ran out of the training room and avoided questions from reporters, yeah some leader....NOT!

Apparently the Packers didn’t see what you did. What were they thinking? They gave up too much for him. I agree.

You’re not a cowboys fan.

Doesn’t it get old coming here and trolling all of us?

This team traded the wrong guy if they want to win rings. Micah was number 11 not 4.

What you seem to not understand about football is you can’t just keep trading players and drafting new ones. Once you hit on a player you keep them.

Funny thing is you actually think Jerry and his dumb son are going to do anything with those picks. Get ready for another Taco or Mazi situation.

You're literally whining that the Cowboys aren't paying more per year for 13 sacks than the Chiefs are for Mahomes like the Packers are now doing.

Just like you whined about Zeke being let you go and lost a bet to me.

You have no idea what you're taking about. You're too emotionally attached to players.
 
Alleluia! Out of Dak, Diggs, Parsons and Lamb, Parsons is the guy that should have been signed. That ship sailed and Parsons was not going be any help for the Cowboys the next couple of years, at least. Jerry made the right move.

Being from MS, I always pull for the Mannings. Congrats on the first game! Our crew bleeds red and black. William Carey University in Hattiesburg…NAIA. My wife played basketball there. 2 of 4 daughters played softball there. One of my daughters is the pitching coach/recruiting cord. there now. My wife retired from coaching last year. Another daughter coaching HS basketball in our area. Lots of grands playing organized sports from MS to FL. I’ve got a granddaughter, 6th grader, starting for the HS softball team at the same school one of my daughters coaches BB. She’s got a huge upside. Life is good! God is good!

I’m just glad they took action. Either sign him or trade him. They traded him. Ok.

IMO there are two problems with the trade…
  1. They traded Parsons to an NFC contender
  2. They didn’t get enough in return.
Other than that, I’m glad this stupid drama is over.

We won't contend for 2 or 3 years. Micah was overused and out of position....that took time off of his career. Because of this, they got enough.

Ohhhh you wanna go back in time and bring up the one time I was wrong? Lol. Good job. You won a bet.

You lost one when Dak got signed and hamstrung this team for 4 more years. Guess we’re even.

This better be all for packaging 3 first round picks to nab Arch Manning in the draft.

I just can’t with Jerry Jones anymore :facepalm::facepalm:

Bad news for you, Arch is probably not entering until the 2027 draft. Now, if we suck badly enough, maybe we can trade back and get more first rounds, but, at this point, we should go on a firesale.

If we got the DT, I like that. Would have liked a younger one, though, than Clark. Still, we've had more trouble drafting DTs than DEs.

Right they have Sam Williams the rookie Eazy E along with Fowler and Houston and Kneeland.. Maybe they believe they have enough To at least make up for a small part of his loss.

Exactly They have players on the team they can probably as a team and as a group with a good scheme try to cover him up the loss of Parsons... I mean everyone's screaming for a defensive tackle I think he plays more nose tackle but I think he's flexible And we have a lot of pass rushers they may not be as good as Parsons but together as a group I mean you do realize that Washington took our backups in Armstrong and Fowler last year and they were starters They went to the NFC championship game with Armstrong and Fowler people wake up Parsons is not worth $47 million..

Knowing what he got from the Packers means that old rumor probably wasn't a rumor and that they were asking for four years $200 million from the Cowboys that's $50 million it sounded crazy back then but apparently that tweet and that rumor was not fake.

Can guarantee that's what they were asking from because they were fed up with Jerry and that's what they were gonna hold him to and they took a little less from the Packers but there's no way in hell I could be OK with them paying parsons that kind of money.... About three years we'll know if this was a big mistake or not we'll get to see what we replaced him with and we'll get to see what the Packers have done with him that's it we have to wait about three years...

I'm not happy about the trade in it being to the Packers but you're right the Cowboys do better picking defensive ends and pass rushers both in the draft and free agency then they are with defensive tackles..

A pretty good drafting team as well to get two 1st round picks even though they're probably going to be lower 1st rounders I think they have a good chance of using them properly hopefully..

I wanted more, but 2 first round picks and a player that can help a weak point is good at least.

The alternative was not having those and not having Parsons if he was sitting out.


I agree. I thought we would get at least 2 firsts and a mid-round 2026 pick.


I have said this for years.

Every year every position should be up for grabs. Every player should be available for trade if the right offer comes along.

What type of trade package would be doable for the Chiefs to trade Mahomes or the Bengals to trade Burrow (if you were their GM)?
