As the Dallas Cowboys continue to entertain trade offers for pass rusher Micah Parsons after Jerry Jones’ comically foolish negotiation process, teams like the Green Bay Packers are trying everything in their power to ensure that they can put together a trade offer America’s Team can’t refuse.

The Packers have found themselves constantly hanging around in the Parsons sweepstakes over the last few weeks, as they are one of the few contenders who have the assets needed to make something happen here.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that even if Parsons plays with the star on the side of his helmet this season, he feels very confident in saying that the All-Pro pass rusher will not finish his career with the Cowboys. Parsons’ hypothetical 2025 season with Dallas may very well end up being his last with the team.

While it might be bad business to instantly throw caution to the wind in pursuit if a star player, Parsons is one of a few players who are so dominant that the Packers should not hesitate for one second if they genuinely believe that they can acquire him in a trade.

Packers could land Micah Parsons after 2025 season due to frustration with Cowboys

Parsons needs no introduction as a player, as there may be no individual defensive star in the league who is a more valuable asset in this league than the former Penn State star. Parsons has the potential to challenge for Defensive Player of the Year every single season, if he’s healthy.

Green Bay likely isn’t going to secure Parsons unless it parts with multiple premium NFL Draft picks and a player who could start right away in the Dallas defense. Such trades are often considered to be against Green Bay’s historical draft-and-develop ethos, but Parsons warrants breaking tradition.

These trade rumors are not going to subsie anytime soon, especially when a player as outspoken as Parsons refuses to back down in these negotiations. Schefter has crystallized the notion that Parsons leaving Dallas is a matter of when, not if, and that bodes well for a Packers team who is firmly a tier below some of the contenders in the NFC.
