Arrington: Cowboys Won Parsons Trade
22 Aug
Summary
- LaVar Arrington favors Dallas in the Cowboys-Packers trade.
- Cowboys received two first-round picks for Parsons.
- Parsons expected back for Packers vs. Cowboys game.
LaVar Arrington, a former Penn State legend and Washington Commanders player, has weighed in on the trade that sent Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers. Arrington stated that he gives the edge to the Cowboys in the deal.
The trade, which occurred approximately one year ago, saw Dallas send their four-time Pro Bowler to Green Bay in exchange for two first-round picks and defensive lineman Kenny Clark. Initially, many believed Dallas had been disadvantaged by the trade, as their defense significantly declined without Parsons.
However, the Cowboys successfully utilized the draft picks to acquire Quinnen Williams and Malachi Lawrence, among others. Arrington's assessment on the red carpet at the Harold & Carole Pump Foundation event indicated these acquisitions were enough to sway his opinion. Parsons and the Packers will have an opportunity to challenge Arrington's view when he is expected to return from knee surgery in time for Green Bay's Week 6 game against Dallas at Lambeau Field.
