Micah Parsons traded to the Packers. Deal is done!

[oaken1]

They have a CEO for an organization that isn't concerned about profit. And because they a public non-profit company, we can actually see their financials. They made $83.7 million in profit that season on $719 in revenue and that $83.7 million must must be invested back into the team. It actually makes things easier for them.

You and that research man.....

Well, those two first round picks could mean a lot or mean nothing depending on who they draft. My guess if this team was not run by JJ, is the Cowboys using the additional first rounders to possibly move up and select a QB once they realize Dak is not it

 

[GatorAZ]

The timing is the dumbest thing about this for Dallas. Maybe Jerry should go into acting rather than running a team. He was good in Landman!

 

[DVontel]

Parsons is a stud, but I'm not sure I'd want to pay an edge $47m a year and lose two firsts.

There’s a part of me that think you wouldn’t even attempt to trade for Aaron Donald at his peak if he was available for a trade.

 

[TK421]

Bummer, I wonder if this team even made an effort to try and get him. The next best scenario would have been Parsons being traded to a weak AFC team. This really sucks.

Parson joins Clayton Tune. Tune is on the PS though.

I heard he always wanted to play with Tune and said "trade me where ever that man is!"

Looks pretty bad for the Cowboys, but the last time they traded a huge name (Hershel Walker), they ended up winning 3 Super Bowls lol. But to be fair, the Vikings gave up far, far, far more than GB just gave up.

ESPN reports Packers, Ravens and Cardinals were the 3 teams negotiating with the Cowboys

A swing and a miss.

But hey!! Maybe the league will disallow the trade for some reason and we will get another shot...
No??
Yeah well....at least we went down swinging

Yeah we should just pay players anything they want because they are great, with no mind to cap space and roster construction.

I'm not paying a player that sees the field 80% of the time and isn't great against the run $47m a year for the 30 snaps a game he might get to rush the passer. Edge guys are important, but they aren't that important. Do you recall when we played the Cowboys with Josh Dobbs and handled him all game? He was pretty much a none factor outside of one play and we ran all over them.

The Packers starting CB's are Nate Hobbs and Keisean Nixon. The only other CB's on their roster are converted WR Bo Melton (Max's brother), Carrington Valentine and Kamal Hadden. Their iDL is now Kark Brooks, Devonte Wyatt, Nazir Stackhouse (rookie), Brenton Cox (who has 160 snaps in the league) and Barryn Sorrell (rookie).

Cool, they have Micah, and I like Gary, Edgerin and their safeties. But the rest of that defense is nothing to worry opposition teams. I'm not even sure it's better than the Dallas defense he just left. I'm pretty sure Parsons can't play all 11 positions no matter how much you pay him.

The fact he didn’t deny what I said is just concerning @kerouac9.

A top 2-3 defensive player in the league/gamewrecker was available for a trade & you’re talking about some damn “cap” & “roster construction”. Straight robbery for GB & Jerry Jones is senile.

 

[schutd]

How are so many people on here confident Kyler is not the answer at QB but more than ready to give up our next 2 firsts for Parsons?

That makes no logical sense whatsoever. Either you believe Kyler is good enough and we can spend picks on other positions or you don't.

I think this is valid. A trade for Parsons would essentially send an "all in" signal on KM. The FO may say they are, but they remain fiscally noncommittal.

I think that's for a reason. I would have loved to have him, but we did very good work building our pass rush this off-season, and we need the flexibility to be able to start the hunt for our next QB should our boy poo the bed this year. Those picks and the $$$ are crucial to facilitate that. I think it a prudent business decision, at those terms, to pass on Parsons.

 

[football karma]

Jerry in his press conference said obtaining a high end DT was a priority in the trade

Did the Cards have one of those to offer -- Robinson? Nolen? both are talented but considered unknowns at this point.

 

[Proximo]

Thats not really a zero sum equation.
you can trade picks and still replace Kyler if needed.
You replace him with the picks you get for him. Because certainly there is an nfl staff out there that thinks they are better than JG and can get Kyler to be exactly what they want. Its not just the players that have egos.

The point is if you are going to invest that much in a pass rusher, you damn well better be a real contender with his addition. You don't believe we would be because of Kyler, so the acquisition doesn't make any sense.

By the way I am far from sold on Kyler being the answer either, which is one of the reasons why I don't think this trade would be a good idea for the Cards. But the main reason is I just don't think LT at his peak - let alone Parsons - would be worth nearly a quarter of my teams cap space.

Micah is a better overall player, but is he worth $28 million per season more than Sweat over the next four years?

Parsons: 4 - $188m (plus two first round picks)
Sweat: 4 - $76m

 

[az jam]

I have a hard time believing that the Cards were one of the three teams that were most interested in getting Parsons. That just isn't Monti's style to give away number one picks for a player regardless of how good he may be. If Keim was still here, yeah he would have probably tried to make the deal. I also don't see Bidwill paying that much salary for a player.

It's ok man. "You should just sign great players no matter the cost or roster composition" is exactly the depth of thinking I expect from you dude. Good to see the consistency.

As to your original question, the Rams had Aaron Donald for what, 10 years? And won one super bowl. And they only did that by changing their QB. And they went further in the playoffs than the year previously before Donald retired. Only narrowly getting beat by the eventually Champs in the divisional round. So I guess you have your answer.

Yeah. Parsons is on a hall of fame type trajectory and he’s 26. You have to do what you can to get those players in and build the rest of the roster around them. He changes the identity of a team.

There hasn’t been a team in true cap purgatory in recent memory. Cap space is an excuse not to act.

Being against acquiring elite players that transforms an entire side is quite the stance.

Brit is a special talent. Brit is the only individual I could’ve seen being against that trade for Green Bay. Bravo.

This is your greatest post in the history of your posts. You will never top this.

I think speculation that Parsons would be a good fit with the Cards morphed into serious interest by Monti.

Like you, I believe Monti is a fairly strict, draft-and-develop GM.
