Packers-Cowboys trade pitch sends Penn State's Micah Parsons to Green Bay

1 hour ago 1

There are a few teams around the NFL well-positioned to make a blockbuster deal for Micah Parsons if his trade request comes to light after he announced on Friday that he wanted to be traded by the Dallas Cowboys. 

The former Penn State star won't be able to pick his next team, as the Cowboys likely aren't too happy with how everything has gone over the past few months, but it's possible he could be in a position to join a team with a chance to win a Super Bowl. When searching for that, Bleacher Report proposed a trade to accomplish that by sending him to the Green Bay Packers.

“The Green Bay Packers are trying to keep pace with the Lions in the NFC North while looking to be more than just a talented playoff team with a young quarterback. Green Bay also happens to be one of the youngest teams in the NFL and should have a wide Super Bowl window if it can get over the proverbial hump.

“Adding Parsons to the league's sixth-ranked scoring defense would certainly help the Packers get where they're looking to go. While Green Bay's defense recorded a respectable 45 sacks in 2024, Rashan Gary was the only player to record more than five quarterback takedowns,” Kristopher Knox wrote.

Interestingly enough, Parsons has some familiarity with the Packers, given that he knows Jordan Love well and also played college football with former Penn State quarterback Sean Clifford. 

It's possible that Clifford could be putting in a good word for Parsons if he becomes available to the Cowboys, which could lead to a reunion of the Penn State stars as they look to win a Super Bowl.
