The Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday. It remains hard to believe.
Part of Parsons’ arrival in Green Bay is a brand new contract that pays him $47M per year. Obviously contract negotiations have been going on between the Cowboys and Parsons for some time now and they clearly felt that he was not worth what Green Bay offered him.
Interestingly, in the aftermath of all of this it was reported that Dallas was literally offered the chance to talk to Parsons from a point of empathy. That is literally the word that Parsons used in a conversation with Jane Slater.
It seems that Parsons and his representation returned to the Cowboys with one final chance to mend fences and that they were met with instructions from him to play the year out on his current deal (the fifth-year option on his rookie contract). That seems quite firm and as if the Cowboys had really made up their mind.
Dallas has a right to run their team as they see fit. Doing this feels… questionable.
