The Hall of Fame quarterback said he believes Cowboys owner Jerry Jones \u201cdid the right thing\u201d by trading Parsons to the Green Bay Packers for two first-round draft picks and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t blame (Jones) one bit. I would have unloaded him,\u201d Bradshaw said. \u201cIt saves me a ton of money on the salary cap, number one. He\u2019s automatically getting two more first-round picks to go with the two he\u2019s already got, and who\u2019s to say that at the end of this year, if things don\u2019t work out, somebody\u2019s gonna get traded and pick up another one.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJerry Jones is sitting in the driver\u2019s seat. I think it was a smart decision. \u2026 Whether or not Parsons was a difference-maker or not with the injury to the back, and you tell me that\u2019s no big deal, I disagree.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>\u201cI think Jerry Jones did the right thing.\u201d \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>Terry Bradshaw shares his thoughts on the Cowboys\u2019 decision to trade Micah Parsons to the Packers. pic.twitter.com\/ZxFuD1Wrn6<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLonFOX\/status\/1964723079697117670?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1964723079697117670%7Ctwgr%5E66ef99695383edf280404d7d4e12270e448ccf50%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Flarrybrownsports.com%2Ffootball%2Fterry-bradshaw-cowboys-smart-trade-micah-parsons%2F715851<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As Bradshaw mentioned, Parsons has been nursing a back injury in recent weeks. Many people thought the injury was fabricated so he could justify sitting out practices with the Cowboys, but the star pass-rusher has been receiving treatment for it. He is expected to be limited in Green Bay\u2019s Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n<p>Jones has said he believes the Cowboys will be a better team in 2025 after trading Parsons \u2014 not just in the long term. The 82-year-old thinks unloading Parsons will solve one big issue that Dallas\u2019 defense has had in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons is a four-time Pro Bowl defensive end who has had at least 12 sacks in every one of his NFL seasons. You simply can\u2019t replace production like that. It is reasonable to debate whether the return for Parsons was sufficient, but very few people actually believe the Cowboys will be better off in the short term without him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys traded arguably the best player on their roster a week before the start of the 2025 season, and Terry Bradshaw thinks that was the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":89788,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-89785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Terry Bradshaw shares why Cowboys were &#039;smart&#039;
