Cowboys Weigh Blockbuster Trade of Star Defender Micah Parsons to Packers
22 Aug
Summary
- Cowboys considering trading star LB Micah Parsons
- Proposed deal sends Parsons to Packers for LB Rashan Gary, multiple draft picks
- Packers seeking to add generational talent like Parsons to boost their defense
As of August 22nd, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys are weighing a potentially franchise-altering decision - trading away their star linebacker Micah Parsons. According to reports, the Cowboys are in discussions with the Green Bay Packers about a deal that would send Parsons to the Packers in exchange for linebacker Rashan Gary, a 2026 first-round pick, a 2026 third-round pick, a 2027 second-round pick, and a 2027 fourth-round pick.
The Packers, who have been on the cusp of contending for the Super Bowl in recent years, are eager to add a generational talent like Parsons to anchor their defensive front. Parsons, who has emerged as one of the league's premier pass-rushers, would provide a significant boost to the Packers' defense and their hopes of challenging for the NFC North title and beyond.
For the Cowboys, the proposed trade would represent a significant haul, including a quality replacement in Gary and a bounty of high draft picks. While the team is reluctant to part ways with Parsons, the potential return may be too good to pass up, especially if they are unable to reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension with the star linebacker.
