He's a PA native he's tough! And that GB weather will toughen him up more. A long with better coaching and supporting cast. At least he doesn't have to feel all alone out on the field while his teammates watch him do all the work. He is in a place where he's wanted and appreciated.
All true
Honestly, it's because he was playing out of scheme to make big plays and he was doing it too much, and that's how we were getting ran all over.
Gonna have to agree to disagree. Micah had no say in where he went. He did not choose GB. We could have traded him to the Raiders, Saints, Cards, Bucs, anyone at all. He wanted "highest paid non-QB" and he got it. Let's see how he handles a team that is not a "made for TV" drama. I hope that every Packers opponent this year runs right at him. They don't call that the "Black and Blue Division" for nothing.
He could have not agreed to the extension. Micah certainly had leverage here. He also took a deal that was about the same as what Dallas offered. Maybe less when you include state taxes.
Um, I don't think that anyone asked him if he would "pretty please play for the Packers." He was traded to them and they extended him. Maybe those negotiations started before the trade was complete. Or not. I don't know the exact timing of things. But what I do know is that he did NOT have a "no trade clause" and, thus, he had no say whatsoever in this matter.
I don't think any team would agree to give multiple picks for a player who doesn't want to be there. He might have "back tightness" when he gets there. As such, Micah had leverage over where he went. The deal took all three to agree, Dallas, GB and Micah. Micah couldn't force himself to go to any team he wanted but OTOH, Dallas couldn't have just dumped him anywhere. That's probably why the haul wasn't quite as good as we had hoped for Dallas.
Though I understand and agree --to a point. Parsons #1 thing he is concerned with is NOT winning but making money. Again, understand but winning is not his #1 issue. If Parsons really put winning #1, then he would have played his senior year at Penn State. But nope, he held out, as he just did with our Cowboys. Why? His own interest in making straight cash homie. Parsons didn't want ti risk getting injured his senior year to protect his investment---himself.
The trade news and new contract details came down at the same time so it had to have been negotiated beforehand
That wasn't the other option. It's bizarre Jerry still has his fan boys after the past 2 years even if we wanted to ignore the prior 3 decades
Look at the poll on Michael being traded, you are in the minority big time.
The offense was fine for years. The problem was the defense that he was on. Run defense in particular where defenses ran at him for getting out of uis lane to try to get to the qb.
The man asked to be traded. He got what he asked for.
The poll was structured in a way that didn’t allow for “reason”.
