All-Pro Micah Parsons is headed to Titletown. The Green Bay Packers completed a trade with the Dallas Cowboys for Parsons, shocking the NFL world on Thursday and turning the Packers into one of the Super Bowl favorites entering the 2025 season.
The online reaction was a mix of pure elation from the Packers side and confusion and frustration from the other side. Incredibly, the Parsons saga ended with an S tier defensive player going from Dallas to Green Bay and becoming one of the NFL’s highest paid players. The cost for the Packers was two first-round picks and defensive lineman Kenny Clark.
Some of the best reactions to the blockbuster trade:

Packers checking boxes with Golden, Parsons
Packers had two things holding them back:
1. Legit WR1 (Matthew Golden)
2. Elite pass rusher (Micah Parsons)Youngest roster in the NFL, too. Giddy up.

The Parsons impact
