Jerry Jones: Very happy with Cowboys post-Micah Parsons trade

[Bamx]

OXNARD, Calif. -- As the blockbuster trade of Micah Parsons nears its one-year anniversary, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he cannot be happier with how it worked out for his team.

The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and first-round picks in 2026 and 2027. The Cowboys then used the 2027 first-rounder (plus their own second-round pick in 2026) to acquire defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets at last year's trade deadline. With the 2026 first-rounder, the Cowboys added pass rusher Malachi Lawrence with the No. 23 pick in April's draft.

Putting the Jerry nonsense aside, so far the Cowboys have turned Micah Parsons into Kenny Clark, Quinnen Williams, Malachi Lawrence, Devin Moore, and LT Overton. And a ton of cap savings.

Some posters just wanna warch the world burn.

I’d say Jerry and crew have done excellent on the Micah situation

 

[fivetwos]

Yeah me too, but uhhhmmmm….this was not your original intent Jerry and everyone knows that.

Micah could have been Super Bowl MVP and Quennin and Clark could be holding a dual holdout, hosting a podcast from the balcony of the condos overlooking the practice field and Jerry would be talking about how satisfied he is with himself

This isn’t true. They didn’t trade Micah for Quinnen.

They traded Micah for Kenny Clark, Malachi Lawrence, LT Overton and next years first round pick.

From the link in the original post.

“"It's like going to Las Vegas with some extra money in your pocket or going out there with the baby's new pair of shoes and formula money in your pocket. You can't be as good a crapshooter as you are when you've got the baby's new pair of shoes throwing out there with it."

The two packers fans show up like clockwork to defend their boo

A lot of Jerry's success has been luck.

"Can you put a price on peace?"... in the locker room. Not having distractions is huge. Well, we do have them with the owner and son, but less distractions now that we moved on from that player. I admit being biased because I'm a homer, but no doubt we're better off.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Jerry and Stephen are always happy, we lose in the playoffs and they're HAPPY about the way we played, we commit 100+ yards in penalties, Jerry and Stephen find value in the way we've progressed going forward lol

 

[plymkr]

I’m happy with the fact that they (Father and son) said in the post trade interview that they needed to get serious about stopping the run. Using the assets to add Quinnen and Lawrence and then also adding Downs is committing to the run. We’re tight up the middle.

Now retaining Clark and Quinnen for this season and Q for beyond this season makes me feel like they didn’t lie to me (and other fans) about having a plan to stop the run and stick to it.

Do I wish we could have kept Parsons and added Quinnen. Well obviously that would have been ideal but I also feel making Parsons one of the highest paid players ever after he took a nap during a game would have been a culture killer. I don’t think there was a possibility moving forward with Micah after his nap.

Jerry's still here.

 

[Hawkeye19]

100% correct. You can’t sign him long term after “the nap heard round the world.”

Parsons made himself bigger than the team, and they were right to trade him at that point.

Before that? They were piss poor as a FO. Jerry and Stephen played things so poorly and allowed things to degrade and get to that point that they should be analyzed and criticized for it for the rest of their careers. A low point in a legacy filled with blunders.

That said— post trade, Dallas has come through quite well. A talent infusion on D and a stronger overall culture on the team with adding guys like Q and Clark.

But, to me, “Parsons/Jones” will always just boil down to giant egos having a pissing contest for the world to see. A true clown show if there ever was one lol
