Schefter: What the Cowboys/Packer Parsons trade means a year later

[jazzcat22]

Compare that to getting Emmitt Smith, Russell Maryland, and Darren Woodson for Herschel Walker.

That is not really true.

 

[Flinger]

Here's an idea - never trade a generational player before they are 30.

 

[nate dizzle]

Clearly they are not factoring in that this trade allowed us to extend Daron Bland.

 

[rambo2]

Yes for GB.

Exactly, Parsons hasn't even played this year.

So, in hindsight, you keep him and pay $45M?

He hasn't made $45 million in either of the two years the Packers have had him and won't next year. Each of those years is less than $25 million. Would make $42 in 2028 if you kept him and didn't restructure. This $45 million per year thing is kind of overblown.

I've never thought of him as "toxic". Maybe a d****e.

When a player has teammates telling him to stop running his mouth creating distractions on podcasts and he refuses......he's toxic. Green Bay will see it. Wait until adversity hits. That's when the true nature of a low football character person like Micah shows up.

Yup, 2 HOF players (one who SHOULD be in) and another pro bowler…..a BETTER running back AND a HOF caliber safety and really good DT for the price of a lesser running back……and a few extra picks too!

We would have never been able to afford Ferg, Bland, and Luepke.

No question we missed his play on the field

I'm questioning whether we do or not. Yeah some of the stats may have been better when he was around. But we were terrible with him and terrible without him. But the potential is higher with him and his large salary gone.

Are you serious or is this sarcasm?
