Projecting a Cowboys–Packers Trade Package for Micah Parsons

Micah Parsons leaving Dallas is already a nightmare scenario for most Cowboys fans; the only thing that would make it worse would be a move to a bitter rival.

The “divorce” between these two sides gets more likely by the day, and unfortunately, all the buzz surrounding a Parsons trade package, or free agency departure, seems to center around Dallas’s foes.

More specifically, I’m talking about the Green Bay Packers.

It has been reported that the Green and Gold have made a “serious” trade offer for the three-time All-Pro, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has stated that if traded, that is the “kind of team” Parsons would be joining.

That is what has been said; here, we’re going to talk about what could happen. Let’s dive into what a blockbuster, Cowboys-Packers Micah Parsons deal could look like.


Green Bay Lands Superstar On The Edge

Packers Receive: EDGE, Micah Parsons, & 2027 6th Round Pick.

This side of the deal is pretty straightforward: Green Bay gets a generational talent and a throw-in late-round pick. These kinds of deals always have at least some draft compensation for the team giving up a haul, and this would be no different.

Parsons, 26, would join guys like Kenny Clark and Rashan Gary on what would become one of the league’s scariest defensive fronts.

We’re talking about a guy whose career low in sacks is 12.0, and that only happened because he played in just 13 games. On day one in Wisconsin, Parsons boosts the Packers to Super Bowl contenders.

For years, Green Bay struggled to put a formidable defense together for Aaron Rodgers; his career résumé was hurt as a result. His successor, Jordan Love, is already turning 27 this year, and I have a feeling they don’t want to sell him short too.

Green Bay has the cap space, an increasingly aggressive front office, and the trade pieces to pull this off. It would be silly for anybody to bet against them because of this rivalry.

As has been reported, if Micah Parsons goes on sale, expect the Packers to come calling.


Dallas Stockpiles Picks, Adds 2 Young Players

Cowboys Receive: EDGE Kingsley Enagbare, WR Dontayvion Wicks, 2026 1st Round Pick, 2026 3rd Round Pick, 2027 2nd Round Pick, 2027 4th Round Pick.

If any Packers fans are reading, you should know that as aggressive as this package seems, it is absolutely worth it for a 26-year-old future Hall of Famer.

Dallas would need picks and players to even consider trading Parsons, and this deal provides that. They’d net four draft picks, including a 2026 first-rounder, and two young players who could start in Week 1.

Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks was a fifth-round pick in 2023 and has quietly produced well in his first two seasons. The only problem is, he is getting pushed out of the depth chart.

The former Virginia Cavalier doesn’t have much of a spot with rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams joining the fold. In Dallas, he’d become at least the WR4 to start.

Defensively, EDGE Rusher Kingsley Enagbare makes a ton of sense for the Cowboys; you have to fill the Parsons void somehow, and this would be a start.

Green Bay’s fifth-round pick in 2022, Enagbare keeps setting new career highs in sacks, and a full-time role could see him easily eclipse the 7+ sack mark. Alongside Marshawn Kneeland and Donovan Ezeiruaku, Dallas would be adding to their young pass rush.


The Bottom Line: All Offers Will Be Strong; Motivation To Move Won’t Be

If there’s one thing you should take away from this proposal, or any of the others swirling around the internet, it’s that they will all come in strong.

Players with the talent level of Micah Parsons do not, ever, hit the trade block. If it happened, the phones would be ringing non-stop with massive hauls. Green Bay’s hypothetical offer here is an example of such.

The problem is, Dallas’s motivation to answer the phone seems nonexistent, at least at this point.

With no motivation to move, these offers are irrelevant. If they keep on airing out the dirty laundry and failing to talk, however, nothing should be ruled out of the equation.

a Dallas Cowboys fan, since the 70’s let me start by saying if Micah Parsons really gets traded to the Green Bay Packers it wouldn’t be a shuck or surprise to me that’s Jerry Jones for you it will shock and surprise all the sports media groups and wonder why the Cowboys are a joke right now

Your a joke!! As usual, you have no idea what your talking about!! Every time you make your comments, you sound stupid!! And again, what “sports media groups” have you been watching!? It’s definitely not one that talks about the DALLAS COWBOYS!! It mite be a Dallas team, but it’s definitely not the Cowboys!!

Oh, Stop already.
Parsons will NOT be traded.
He and his agent will be all smiles when he signs his $100+ Million contract.

What would Dallas do with another wideout? They’ve got a glut of them already! Packers giving up Clark the DT will immediately cure the Cowboys one technique role.

Tough choice for the Cowboys. Do you trade him for as many draft picks possible or give him the highest contract in Cowboy history and tie up millions of dollars for future years. My choice would be to trade him asap.

Watched a YouTube video on Michael Irvin’s podcast. He had Jerry Jones on just recently and it was very revealing concerning Parsons. I have been critical of Cowboy’s front office. But I have to say in this particular matter, it sounds like Parsons and/or his agent are the problem.

Jones said he met, THREE MONTHS AGO, with Parsons and offered him the HIGHEST guaranteed money contract of ANY PLAYER on the defensive side of the football. He said Parson was agreeable with the deal and papers were drawn up. But when the offer was given to the agent, the agent told him to shove it up your ass. Jones takes a lot of flak about the timing of contracts, but this one sounds different. Actually, even the Dak contracts, IMO, were held up by greedy Dak and/or his greedy agent. Good earlier offers were made to Dak at those times but were blown off. Think about the absurdity of Dak still being the highest player in the league. In case anyone doesn’t remember, Dak was placed 17th by PFF in their QB rankings this year.

Jones pays and many times OVERPAYS his players.

Jones also said during this interview with Irvin, the Cowboys still have Parsons for three more years. He is still under his current contract’s last year, and he can “franchise tag” him for two more years. All true. He also mentioned that he could pay THREE players from the amount of money Parsons may get. Again true.

I wouldn’t make that trade!! That’s pretty much trading just one 1st, one 2nd, one 3rd and one 4th round pick and that’s it!! Those players won’t move the needle any in a trade package!! If those players are involved in the trade package then they need to change the 2027 2nd round pick to a 1st round pick!! So the trade package would be a 1st and a 3rd in 2026 and a 1st and a 4th in 2027 plus the 2 players!! Those players aren’t that good, and they were drafted at best on day 3, so they’re not worth much of anything, if anything at all!! And both of them put together aren’t worth changing a 1st round pick into a 2nd round pick!! And Parsons will bring us at least two 1st round picks plus a couple day 2 picks, so unless there’s two 1st round picks involved in the trade package, it’s not worth picking up the phone to talk about!!

And something else that needs to be done is that somebody needs to find a way to get Micahs attention and tell him to get a new agent!! I think Parsons would be signed right now if it wasn’t for his agent!! This isn’t the first time a front office has had trouble with this agent!! Not too long ago, a Bengals player had trouble getting his contract done too, and as soon as he fired his agent and hired a new one, he got his contract done!! And the agent he fired is the same one that Micah has right now!! So it’s obvious that this agent isn’t worth having!! And he seems to be a problem with players getting their contracts!! So somebody needs to talk to Micah and tell him he needs to fire his agent and find a better one!! And I bet as soon as he hires a new agent, he’ll get his contract done!!

Agree, it sounds like the agent is the problem. Fire this SOB, Micah.
