Call me crazy, simply because I’ve been wanting defensive tackle help since the 90s
This could’ve been an even trade for me, Micah for Kenny

Never mind the two second round pics were going to get lol
yeah I know their first round, but they’re late

I don’t know if Parsons was a headache for the players, but he was definitely for some fans

I just don’t have a problem with him being gone at all. Especially with the defensive tackle help.
I think that’s harder to get than a defensive end
Anyways, a few more weeks and we will really know

They were 2 first round picks.
 
And this is why you aren’t an NFL GM….
I agree actually the trade right now is a tie but you have to include the draft picks and the money by the way which they just signed Hunter Bland and now Tyler Smith using that money it was actually a really good decision for the team going forward..

Maybe the original posters a little bit exaggerating but I already made a post about it yes we got a really good nose tackle and two 1st round picks and the money that we're not spending on him we'll talk about this in three years and see who won this trade but right now it is a tie it's dead even there's nothing that Parsons has done in his 1st two weeks with the Packers that would have changed anything for the Packers at this point they would have won both those games without him if you didn't watch the games and you're the one who's delirious...

I know he's a an elite pass rusher but he has not even arrived he is not the best pass rusher in the league he's never been defensive player of the year he's never even led the league in sacks and don't start with that look at how much pressures and what he does for his own teammates We get that But when you look at this right now as we stand this was a good trade for both the Cowboys and the Packers and Parsons got his way but it is a tie to me and I don't need to be an NFL GM other NFL GMS have traded away players like him how do you think we ended up with Charles Haley and Deion Sanders and players like Khalil Mack and Kansas City let go of Tyreke Hill in his prime... I also remember Roquan Smith pretty damn good player to let go and yet they did it anyway yes GM's do make these types of decisions jerry's not in this moment wrong for doing it..

.

Yes NFL GMS do make tough trades sometimes you do it and in this moment for the team it escalated over those three days I didn't want to lose the guy i'm not saying we didn't lose a good talent but when you really look at it until about three years from now it's even everything I've seen from Clark and Parsons for what they've done for the team at this point we haven't got to play our second game yet it's a tie because we got more money more draft picks and we'll figure out a way to make up for his stats that were missing....


Understand all these comebacks but don't tell me GM's don't make trades with prime players with great players they do move around...

"Hunter Bland" lol

I knew your long posts were AI.
 
Let's see after Week 4. Basically, a quarter of the season will be played and we'll have seen this DL have multiple games under their belt. I look for the DL to play well, but no need to get hype over the Giants OL imo. Happy to be on the way to having a good run stopping DL, just need the LBs to complement them.

Not even close to the same player as Micah.

GB ditched him because of the 40M cap hit in 2026-27.

Dude, I spent the entire day down at the Brazos River wakeboarding and surfing
got home try to catch up on the Longhorn game, and catch up on this site,

so yes, I use talk to text, not AI They're just missing commas sorry....

YOU Get the point but we all know you troll....
 
I wanted Micah gone because I don't believe he is worth what he was paid, but seeing these cope threads pretending we got a good return is weak sauce.

Call it what it is.
Agree totally. Would’ve gotten vastly better picks taking less from a bad team like a first, second, and player from Carolina or NYJ and you’re getting one top 12 pick and a high second rounder. Additionally, Jerry not handling this sooner and PRIVATELY probably drove the price down a bit.

It's not weak sauce I said what I said When you look at the big picture Parsons didn't want to be here the last 72 hours up leading up to the trade it got to the point where Jerry did what was best for the team and it was a good return 2 first round picks regardless of how low they are could be packaged in any way possible to move up down or all over the draft or into future drafts along with plenty of money to spread around to our players which they've done this year already before and after the trade.

And then we get one of the better defensive tackles we've had in years He played very well in week one we only have a very small sample size so if some of us want to take that leap and say we feel right now it's a tie until further notice you can't say we got fleece because I watched the games Parsons had little to no impact on the outcome I didn't say it didn't have impact in the game but the outcome of the game the Packers were going to start 2-0 Whether he was there or not the dude could have stayed home but we'll see going forward what his impact will be as well as the impact of what we got but again you don't know that until three years down the road..

I realize we gave up a great pass rusher but when's the last time he led the league in sax not pressures sacks Multiple times we've seen that from Miles Garrett and TJY amongst others there are guys that I feel are still better than him he has not arrived yet I mean have you seen Nick Bose's career his stats in the playoffs and whatnot I mean you have to add the fact that these other guys have been defensive players of the year They are better than him right now so we did not get rid of the best defensive player in the league we just got rid of one of the top 5 defensive ends in the league..

I'm not belittling his production He's a great player he's a great pass rusher but he also belonged to a lot of the defensive meltdowns right here including games where mobile quarterbacks did exactly what Jalen Hurts did to us in game one they've done that right at Parsons so I'll act like if he was here things would have changed..

Think that's the point you're missing why you going to spend 45 plus million dollars on a defensive end if he's not truly changing your future We've already seen it for four years and we've also seen it not working so why not use the money and the draft picks to try to get better in other areas and maybe in that time. One of the other players we have will grow into that position....


You act like we're talking about sour grapes or being bitter and it's not true at all I think some of us are being real when he arrives if he gets a ring he ends up Defensive player of the Year if he gets 20 sacks And yeah that's what I'm expecting from a man getting paid that kind of money because even Henderson who just took only what 30 ish million, He had 17 1/2 sacks last year oh but those don't count because what what was his pressures? LOL

I realize he has an impact I do he's a great player a great pass rusher But that doesn't mean that this trade was not even right now and that somehow we didn't get a good return I think we got the best we could have gotten for that situation Jerry did not get fleeced this time this was a very good deal for both sides

No, I'm not using commas and I'm probably not even going to bother responding but I'm going to say it again because I think that some of you are the ones who are delusional....

And I own the man's jersey so this is not sour grapes this is not being bitter this is not trying to make myself feel better that's the truth from the way I see it and I'm not the only one...

Tried to make those trades with those exact teams, i'm sorry but doing it sooner was not in the cars because it was never supposed to happen but you can keep on trying to be super Internet GM but this was the best deal you can get at the moment parsons is the one that forced his way out of town his antics his timing he and his agent i'm not saying Jerry has no responsibility in this but they intended to sign him all the way up until about three days before the trade and then it just all went S and this is what I happen sometimes when you burn bridges and both sides burn that bridge down this was a great return.

You realize bad teams don't want to pay a guy that that much money and give away draft picks like that and a good player because that's what Jerry did try to do he actually heard offers from Carolina he went after the Jets they didn't want to play ball he did it he went there and tried and he decided that this was the best for the team and I agree...

So, we can just leave it right there...

I think some of you get lost and when you have to turn around and pay a man 45 plus million dollars a year you also have to decide if you want to give up a good player and a couple of first round draft picks and most of them said no...
 
I’m happy I don’t have to hear news on Parsons’ silly comments on his podcast, and I’m happy we didn’t resign him for 47 million. Personally, for me, top Money isn’t worth it for a great pass rusher when that guy is a liability vs the run. Now, do I wish we had built a competent run defense long ago or signed or traded for a really good DT and then signed Parsons much much earlier for less. But that didn’t happen.

Everyone wants an elite pass rusher, but last season none of the top pass rush8ng DEs even made the playoffs, so clearly it’s not a necessity. Most good QBs can handle a great pass rusher from the outside. What they all hate is pressure up the middle. I hope we add to what we have inside next year if not sooner. A good push inside move the QB to your outside guys and makes them better. I’m happy with the two extra picks.
