Micah Parsons, the superstar edge rusher now with the Green Bay Packers, is gearing up for an emotional return to AT&T Stadium to face his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, on Sunday night. Traded to Green Bay on August 28 in a blockbuster deal that sent three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks (2026 and 2027) to Dallas, Parsons is approaching the matchup with a mix of confidence and nostalgia. The four-year, $188 million contract with $136 million guaranteed\u2014making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history\u2014marks a new chapter for the 26-year-old, but his ties to Dallas remain strong.<\/p>\n

\"Micah<\/figure>\n

\u201cI think Dallas loves me,\u201d Parsons said during a Wednesday press conference. \u201cI think they\u2019re going to give me a good round of applause. There\u2019s no hard feelings there, at least from me.\u201d Despite the messy contract dispute that led to his departure from the Cowboys (1-2), Parsons is downplaying the personal stakes of the game, treating it as \u201cjust another game\u201d while acknowledging the electric atmosphere of a Cowboys-Packers matchup. \u201cI kind of know what a (Dallas)-Green Bay game looks like \u2014 and I know the fan base is going to be pretty rowdy,\u201d he added. Parsons still owns a suite at AT&T Stadium, which will be filled with friends and family cheering him on.<\/p>\n

Parsons\u2019 four seasons with the Cowboys were nothing short of spectacular, with at least 12.0 sacks each year, totaling 52.5 sacks in his Dallas tenure. Now with the Packers (2-1), he has 1.5 sacks in his first three games, but his presence on the field has opened opportunities for teammates like Rashan Gary, who leads the NFL with 4.5 sacks this season. \u201cThe attention he gets from opposing offenses creates opportunities for all the Packers\u2019 other pass rushers,\u201d a Green Bay source noted.<\/p>\n

Despite his trade, Parsons maintains close relationships with several Cowboys players. He checks in weekly with cornerback Trevon Diggs and recently reached out to wide receiver CeeDee Lamb to lift his spirits after Lamb suffered a high ankle sprain in Dallas\u2019 31-14 loss to the Chicago Bears. Parsons also spoke fondly of Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, describing him as a mentor and admitting that sacking him would be \u201cpainful.\u201d However, one relationship appears strained: Parsons hasn\u2019t spoken to Cowboys owner Jerry Jones since organized team activities (OTAs). \u201cI never even heard from Jerry Jones himself when I got traded,\u201d Parsons said. \u201cI found out through my agent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones, for his part, confirmed there would be no video tribute for Parsons during the game, stating it wouldn\u2019t be appropriate. Parsons shrugged off the decision, saying, \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of things I can consider disrespectful throughout this process, but I wouldn\u2019t say the (lack of a) tribute is one of them.\u201d He added, \u201cI just think there\u2019s hard feelings maybe there for them, but for me, I\u2019m happy where I\u2019m at, and we got a really good football team, so I guess I can (receive) my tribute in a win, I hope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parsons also reflected warmly on his time mentoring Dallas\u2019 offensive linemen, particularly left tackle Tyler Guyton. \u201cIt\u2019s funny because I spent all training camp helping these guys and teaching them how to block me,\u201d Parsons said. Guyton acknowledged the impact, noting, \u201cI kind of looked up to him for guidance, and he showed me a lot. We battled a little bit, and got better from it.\u201d Their friendly rivalry will take on new stakes Sunday night as they face off in a high-profile primetime matchup.<\/p>\n

As kickoff approaches, Parsons is focused on the game itself, not the trade drama that dominated headlines. \u201cOnce the game (starts), ain\u2019t no one talking about the trade,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about winning the football game.\u201d For Cowboys fans, the sight of Parsons in a Packers jersey will be a bittersweet moment, but the edge rusher is betting on a warm reception\u2014and perhaps a few cheers\u2014as he steps back onto the field where he became a star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
