Micah Parsons Trade Fallout: Winners & Losers

Paul Connor

Loser: Jerry Jones
Jones's standing amongst Cowboys fans was already on shaky ground before this deal -- four playoff wins in the last 25 years will do that. Trading away a superstar many assumed would spend his entire career in Dallas only deepens the frustration, leaving whatever faith remained in Jerry evaporated. Somewhere, Nico Harrison is smiling.

Introduction
The Dallas Cowboys shocked the football world yesterday, trading superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Parsons, who had been holding out of Cowboys training camp in search of a new contract, immediately agreed to a four-year, $188 million deal with Green Bay.

So, who are the winners and losers in all of this? Here's my take.

Winner: Micah Parsons
At $47 million annually, Parsons's deal is the richest ever for a non-QB. The Texas heat may be gone, but no Wisconsin winter can cool off this kind of payday.
Loser: Dallas Fans
Heartbreak has become a familiar visitor in Big D. After watching their beloved basketball son, Luka Doncic, get shipped to the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas fans are now forced to say goodbye to another generational talent, all in less than a year's time.
Winner: Aidan Hutchinson/Star Pass Rushers
Parsons’s deal may have reset the market for elite pass rushers. For players like Detroit’s Aidan Hutchinson, who will eventually be due an extension, the price just climbed significantly.
Loser: Jerry Jones
Jones's standing amongst Cowboys fans was already on shaky ground before this deal -- four playoff wins in the last 25 years will do that. Trading away a superstar many assumed would spend his entire career in Dallas only deepens the frustration, leaving whatever faith remained in Jerry evaporated. Somewhere, Nico Harrison is smiling.
