THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

in a stunning NFL blockbuster, the Dallas Cowboys have traded All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round draft picks and three-time Pro Bowler Kenny Clark. Upon arrival in Green Bay, Parsons will sign a record-setting four-year, $188 million deal with $136 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.


On this special live edition of Scoop City, The Athletic’s Senior NFL Insider Dianna Russini is joined by James Palmer to break down every angle of the trade. Cowboys Senior Writer Jon Machota and Packers Senior Writer Matt Schneidman add insider perspective from both sides, diving into what this move means for Dallas, Green Bay, and the league as a whole.


From Jerry Jones’ bold decision to part ways with his defensive superstar to the ripple effects of Parsons’ historic contract, this episode captures all the immediate fallout of one of the most shocking trades in recent NFL history.
