Micah Parsons Traded To Packers

[Cowboysrock55]

These idiots panicked and made an emotional deal too quickly, there's no chance this is the best they could've gotten.

Unreal.

Exactly, did we even shop his ass around at all? It's not like Parson's got to negotiate the contract before the compensation was agreed to. Just ignorant as fuck. God I hate Jerry.

Panic move. Could've gotten more if the tried.

Panic move. Could've gotten more if the tried.

We didn't try. Jerry never picks up the phone to make a call, and the Packers were the only ones that called us. Brilliant negotiating skills dumbo.

Take your pathetic goodbye letter and shove it up your ass ….

 

[Simpleton]

And how in the hell are we supposed to ever keep Pickens with the same agent after all this?

Part of the reason you trade him is so you don't have to stretch to keep guys like Pickens and Bland.

 

[Cujo]

Not enough. Goddamn, I could’ve negotiated a better deal than that.

 

[Simpleton]

What are the chances that part of the reason they did this is because Clark's deal neatly fits in to the ~$21M that Parsons was owed this year, with an easy escape hatch in 2026 or 2027?

Clark's cap number falls to roughly to roughly $20.4 million in 2025 but then balloons to $31.4 million in 2026. In 2027, $18.3 million of Clark's $27.1 million cap number is tied up in non-guaranteed base salary.

The decision point on keeping Clark on the deal will likely arrive as soon as 2026, when he has a big roster bonus due and his cap number jumps over $30 million. In the event of a release in 2026, the Packers would save roughly $14 million on the salary cap while taking on roughly $17 million in dead cap.

Let the Bullshit continue

Someone tell me how good Kenny Clark is.

Parsons now gets to play for an organization where football is the primary focus. His odds of ending his career as Super Bowl champion improved dramatically today.

He's the big winner in all of this.

 

[Genghis Khan]

made an emotional deal too quickly

That's exactly what it seems like.

But I guess in a world where they get a 5th for Amari Cooper in his prime, two firsts for Parsons must seem like the best deal ever.

 

[Cujo]

In fairness, I doubt there were many teams willing to pay 47 mil per year. That's crazy. He's not 7 mil per year better than Myles Garrett.

It’s absurd all the way around. What a kick in the nuts.

And he gets paid insane money. Talk about wins all around for Parsons.

Yep, Jerry, you really showed Parsons you mean business.

 

[Simpleton]

Someone tell me how good Kenny Clark is.

Historically, very good, I'd have to watch all-22 from last year to see where he's at now.

If he were 27 I'd be ok with the deal, he was (is?) a Rashan Gary-level player at DT, but how much longer does he have left?

 

[Genghis Khan]

They got bent over. The first round picks will be in the late 20s. Fucking idiots.

Yep. I've been harping on this all day. Two very late firsts is not great for a guy like Parsons.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Someone tell me how good Kenny Clark is.

I mean he was a probowl player. But at 29 and coming off a not great year last year I'm not sure how great he is anymore. At one point he was a probowl NT.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Sure, but this deal shouldn't be dictated by who'll pay his contract.

 

[1bigfan13]

Nah. You pay top players.

Their problem is the complete opposite of paying guys too much. They're way too cheap.

The guy has been an All-Pro in 3 of his 4 seasons. He's exactly the type of player you pay early and not run through the BS.

But they do things ass backwards in Dallas. So here we are.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Sure, but this deal shouldn't be dictated by who'll pay his contract.

I agree they should have got more in the trade. If they were willing to pay that much you could really squeeze them in the compensation.

Just saying, I bet only a team or two would have paid that much. Maybe only the one.

How many of you bought Parsons jersey?

Raise your hands. Don't be shy.
