ESPN• 2:07
And what more can you tell us?
Kevin, this is a huge mammoth-size blockbuster trade that just went down within the last hour. The Dallas Cowboys are trading Micah Parsons, a four-time Pro Bowl selection who's had over 12 sacks in each of his first four seasons, to the Green Bay Packers in exchange
for two first-round draft picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The deal has been made. Micah Parsons is being paid in Green Bay. Week four of the season, we have the Cowboys versus the Green Bay Packers. And the Dallas Mavericks made one of the big blockbuster trades in the NBA back in February, only to be followed up by the Dallas Cowboys in August,
trading away another young cornerstone piece that they had made no progress on with a new contract that there were no negotiations in recent months. Jerry Jones was disappointed in the fact that he felt like he had an agreement in late March with Micah Parsons that would pay him $40.5 million a year on average. The two sides never negotiated after that.
Micah Parsons never practiced this summer. He had back tightness that he went to get a second opinion on in California, and there were people who said that Micah Parsons didn't have leverage. But his agent David Milgetta did have leverage. He had the leverage of Parsons' talents in talking to other teams. And the Packers were highly interested all along, so much so that they were willing to
pay him more than any other non-quarterback in NFL history ever has been made. And we have another blockbuster trade one week from when the Dallas Cowboys will be playing the Philadelphia Eagles one week from tonight on thursday night football. There is a trade that has sent ripples across the thursday night football. There is a trade that has sent ripples across the National Football League.
