Jerry Jones explains Cowboys’ stunning Micah Parsons trade to Packers

The Dallas Cowboys shocked their fan base with the unexpected trade of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. Owner Jerry Jones addressed the media, explaining that the trade was made to improve the team’s chances of success both now and in the future.

Jones revealed that the acquisition of Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark was a key factor in the decision to trade Parsons. The Cowboys have struggled to stop the run in recent years, and Jones believes Clark will help shore up their defense.

Despite offering Parsons a lucrative contract in April, the Cowboys were unable to come to an agreement with the star player. Jones emphasized that the trade was a consensus decision made by the front office and coaching staff.

In exchange for Parsons, the Cowboys received the Packers’ 2026 and 2027 first-round picks, giving them the opportunity to acquire top-tier talent in the upcoming drafts. Jones sees this as a chance to build a stronger team for the future.

While the trade may have come as a surprise to many, Jones expressed his respect for Parsons and wished him success with his new team. The Cowboys are now focused on the upcoming season and their Week 1 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Overall, Jones emphasized that the trade was made with the best interests of the team in mind and that there are no hard feelings towards Parsons. Cowboys fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead as the team moves forward with their new roster.
