The Dallas Cowboys made arguably the worst trade in franchise history last week when they sent Micah Parsons to the rival Green Bay Packers for defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. While a fine return, it doesn’t come close to equating Parsons’ value as the best young pass rusher who’s on a Hall of Fame trajectory after four seasons.<\/p>\n
Jerry Jones is adamant that the trade was a “universal” decision, meaning it was cleared by the coaching staff and high-ranking players. That doesn’t mean it was universal throughout the locker room, however, and that was essentially confirmed by CeeDee Lamb, who was asked about the trade after Monday’s practice.<\/p>\n
“That’s my dawg, man. He knows it. I expressed it to him just about every week I could, so I feel like he knows where we stand as far as brotherhood, friendship and all that,” Lamb said. “So obviously wishing him the best. Hope he has the best season ever. He’s Micah Parsons, you know what I’m saying? He’s unblockable. He’s unstoppable, so I hope he terrorizes those guys over there.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n It won’t be easy for Cowboys fans to root for Parsons. Not only is he playing for one of the team’s biggest out-of-division rivals, but a lot of fans didn’t love how Parsons handled the negotiation. It didn’t take Jerry Jones long to get a large section of the fan base to turn on Parsons. While both parties are to blame, Jones’ Texas-sized ego was the driving force of the trade.<\/p>\n Parsons wanted to be a Cowboy for life. He said so himself, and his parting message to the fan base and Dallas community confirmed it. Even in his introductory press conference, Parsons got emotional talking about his now-former teammates and admitted he wish it didn’t come to this.<\/p>\n RELATED: <\/strong>Micah Parsons’ true feelings about Cowboys will have fans fuming at Jerry Jones<\/p>\n We’re not telling you to root for Parsons to help the Packers win Super Bowls. That might happen anyway. But as far as continued success after leaving the Cowboys, Lamb hit the nail on the head. Parsons was a superstar on the field for Dallas and didn’t put a foot wrong off it. Whether it be through charity or youth football camps, he constantly used his platform to give back.<\/p>\n And if you can’t find it within yourself to support Parsons now because he plays for the Packers, let your disdain for Jerry Jones guide you.<\/p>\n As nauseating as it is to see Parsons in green and gold, watching Jerry Jones take the biggest loss imaginable on that trade is reason enough to pull for him – at least from where we\u2019re sitting.<\/p>\n CeeDee Lamb just admitted what Dallas Cowboys fans are reluctant to after Micah Parsons was traded to the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":87614,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-87613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"\nCeeDee Lamb will be rooting for Micah Parsons after polarizing Cowboys trade<\/h2>\n
