NFL Trade Grades: Cowboys of Micah Parsons stores on packages

Seemingly against all chances, Micah Parson‘Slow contract with Dallas Cowboys He finished superstar Rusher traded. Dallas did unthinkable on Thursday night, dealing with Parsites Green Bay Packers In exchange for two first goods and defensive stays Kenny Clark.

The move paid for Parson, literally. After joining her new team, Pakers gave him four years, a $ 188 million agreement, which was completely guaranteed $ 120 million.

Are the packages of lawful candidates Super Bowl with Parson? Did they give it too much for him? And where does the cowboys leave this? We dive in that by assessing the trade of both perspectives.

I never thought it would happen. Maybe even more surreal for packers fans – they have to think, cowboys traded in pars us?

The transhism store came a week before the end of the season 2025, changing what we think of cowboys and packages for this season and beyond. But before I break, I want to make one thing clear: there is a price in which it makes sense to trade each player, even on chiefs Patrick Mahomes. But that doesn’t mean that Dallas that Type of return for Parson.

Let’s start with the entertainment side of this job, Green Bai. Parsons had between 12 and 14.5 bags in each of its four NFL seasons, but these numbers do not fully explain its influence. Basically down, he is an absolutely desolation. The last season was the first time in career that he did not lead the league in the passage of birth rate – the second ended.

From 2021. Parsons had a 30% passing birth rate (which means he has beaten his blocker within 2.5 seconds 30% of the time). That smokes every other player from the water including Miles Garrettwhich was second in 26%. Parsons 310 passing victories also lead to the league in that range. He is otherly sorted on pressures with 251 (five behind Makk Crosby). And it was important to note: Parsons is only 26 years old – he is in the premiere of career.

Green Bay will pay for all this in terms of drafting the dollar selection and contract. The question is not only as much as it makes them better, but whether it is worth the cost. During the discussion of contracts, we eject terms like “market settings” and “recording” too often, because it is often only a reflection of Capafe inflation. That is not the case here.

Since 2015, the most expensive contract in the API Set to the dollar hat of 2025 for the non-partisan master was Tj wattSteeler data, according to data, according to data Overthecap.com. This contract would be $ 42.8 million a year in CAP 2025 environment. Parsons cleaned that number with a large margin.

Green Bay handed up two first-handed first-handed first-handed, but you never know! – and Clark for right to pay for pairs dealing. Clark had a long, productive career in green bay and while his loss is noticeable, his influence fade compared to Parson. Clark is also 30 years old and leaves the season in which he recorded only one bag and career low literal range of 7%. This year is Negotiation Dallas, but will cost Dallas $ 21.5 million in 2026. Assuming that his agreement is unchanged, Porthethecap.com.

It is difficult to justify such trade, because the acquisition team gives up on the main capital to pay what is the theoretical market agreement. If we assume that the more expensive employment contract was “fair”, it is difficult to find how it can compensate for two lost first line of lost. And the influence of any non-KB fails to reach the level of superior quarteration. History is not particularly kind to these more original pickups (thinking) Khalil Mack, Jamal Adams and Lari Tunsil here).

But if there is an exception to that rule, it is this scenario due to the elite level of Parson, his youth and – most importantly – for reinforcement, he now provides the chances of Super Books in the future.

Before the Agreement on Thursday, Packers started in season as Fringe Super Bowl – ESPNs Football power index He gave them a 3% chance of winning – but easily visible to appear. They go out with the 11-winning season in which they had the lowest Snap-weighted age He had to start a spare box in the NFL Malik Willis For two games and almost certainly they could have a more efficient offense that they were not so much difficult.

Although packers ranked fourth in defensive EPA per game last season, Roster still has a clear weakness for the passage. Now they gained maybe the best best player to solve that problem.

And because of Parson’s Old age, the attacker Jordan Love And the team in general, this is not the situation “All-in for 2025”. Packers have been placed for years of claims (although without the first round for the next two years). And that’s why I think this move is a high lever worth it.

Let’s turn cowboys.

Before Thursday, I felt the basis for Dallas had a good team. Yes, cowboys were 7-10 last season, but that was in the season in which Dak Prescott missed half the season. Prior to that, the core Prescott, Parson and a wide receiver Cedeee Lagct He helped Dallas win 12 matches in three consecutive seasons! The team has acquired George Pickens To address the main needs on the VR2 and while Roster was hardly perfect – it was at 18. FPI ranked in FPI before the store – it was a good draft of danger.

It’s much harder to sell with Parsons.

To be fair, Dallas’ Pass Rush still has a fair amount of potential. Veteran Dante Fowler Jr. is fresh than 10.5-bags with Washington. And is surrounded by players. Second roll Donovan Aitauz was lasting in the training camp, According to ESPN’s Todd Archer. Former backups I Williams Sam She flossed the actual potential in 2022. and 2023. years, when he combined for a good conversion of 22% of passing birth rate, before the ripped ACL disappeared last season. And are still high Marshavn KneelandLast year’s in the second round.

But did the cowboys get the most they could have for Parson? Obviously a comparison Shop Make Attacker In 2018 (that job was for a little less than two first protrusions), but Parsons is now a better player now than Mack was now. And would cowboys become more for Parsons that they are available for trade in March? My feeling is yes.

This could change the current cowboy trajectory, but they compensate all the excess value that packers gave up. There will be pain here – it certainly hurts Dallas in a short time – but there is a world in which cowboys can use additional choices (especially if even more chooses) to build the basics of your next competitive team. It is usually a good strategy.

So, while I will knock cowboys not to prolong Parsons to start and not traded (probably) more earlier, this move is not likely to be so bad in the long-term and first stream.
