The Packers decided to seize the opportunity, trading two first-round draft picks and three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark, in addition to committing a substantial contract. They believe Micah Parsons can transform their consistently impressive team into a true powerhouse.

After Micah Parsons reached his breaking point in contract talks with the Dallas Cowboys, there was no shortage of trade suitors for the four-time Pro Bowler before he wound up being dealt to the Green Bay Packers.

General manager Brian Gutekunst wasn't kidding when he said early in the offseason that it was time to "ramp up the sense of urgency" around the Green Bay Packers. The big move would only come last week,

Micah Parsons requested a trade from the Cowboys, and Dianna Russini reports that the Eagles were the preferred destination for the Harrisburg native.

Parsons, meanwhile, is gearing up for his expected debut on Sunday with the Green Bay Packers, who acquired him in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive lineman Kenny Clark. But before Dallas finalized the deal with Green Bay, the Cowboys were fielding trade calls from four other NFL teams.

Green Bay Packers' newly-acquired edge rusher, Micah Parsons, will likely be on a snap count in the season opener, according to The Athletic.

The Green Bay Packers would have made waves this offseason even without the Micah Parsons trade. On Saturday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed that before executing the Parsons blockbuster, the Packers had their sights set on Cincinnati Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.
