Can we reevaluate the Parsons trade again?

[Cas2800]

I know Jerry got blasted for trading Parsons. But can we reevaluate Williams, Clark AND a first round pick for Parsons?

It’s actually

Williams, Clark and swapped a 2nd for a first.

For parsons.

But yes. That said yes. The trade for Q redeemed it 100%.

The biggest issue with trading parsons was you aren’t guaranteed at all to draft anybody on his level. And you may draft busts.

But you trade for Q. It’s a guaranteed all pro level DT. So it worked out very well.

I liked it at the time.

We re-evaluate the trade every other day.

This same post will be made three or four times before we play the eagles

I was for the trade but still to early to evaluate. Love to see Jerry take the 26 GB 1st and tun it into a 2nd this year and 1st in 27.

I'm happy with Q even without the draft pick.

If you just look at players and picks, this is how the two big interlocked trades shake out.

We receive
Quinnen Williams
Kenny Clark
Green Bay 2026 1st
Green Bay 2027 1st


We give
Micah Parsons
Mazi Smith
Cowboys 2026 2nd
Cowboys 2027 1st

Too early to call it yet. Defense looked great tonight. But as usual, it's against inferior below .500 competition. Everyone will have a clearer picture of this revamped defence after it faces the Chiefs, Lions, and Eagles.

If the fools actually put real effort into fixing the defense, a Quinnen Williams led D will be better than any we had w Micah

And it won't be close.

Right now, the middle is simply closed off. Makes our LB's tons better and more effective.

That is what I would like also

Must we.. lol

I feel like this will be a weekly thread for a while

Yeah the Parsons trade is a long way from being evaluated accurately. It needs to at least take a year to know.

I like getting Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark. But we’ve had exactly one game against a bad team to look at the latest trade and its value to the team. Good game tonight. But it’s going to take some time.

Agreed. The earliest we can even start to make a good estimate is next preseason.

I love Williams and I’m happy he’s on the team but the problem with what happened, in my opinion, is how Jerry handled it and the timing. He blew up this entire season.

He doesn’t the trade in the spring and I think people would have been more accepting because we could have worked on he defense before the bye week, lol

.yep, same here. Anyone player who doesn't want to be here, is good as gone.

 

[DB_Cooper]

If Ezeiruaku keeps playing well the Parsons trade will look really good 12 months from now. We took a step back pass rush wise early in but if he can keep making strides we won’t miss Parsons at all next season.

Quinnen Williams is an infinitely more complete and impactful player than Micah Parsons. Especially with Clark next to him and two 1st-round picks to come.

That's not what we got. Quinnen Williams cost us a first and a second. We traded Parsons for Clark and two firsts. The Jets also get the higher of our two first-round picks next year. So for Parsons, we got Clark, Williams and maybe slightly better or worse draft positioning with two picks, depending on how it works out.

Frankly, I hope we add a pass rusher with one of those picks and either a middle linebacker or safety with the other (possibly with a slight trade-down to recoup a pick).

 

[Gameover]

Good trade for all parties involved.
