Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones spoke about trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers last year.
The Dallas Cowboys shocked the football world last year when they traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers got Parsons, while the Cowboys received Kenny Clark, a 2026 first-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick.
During an interview with Adam Schein on Mad Dog Sports Radio, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones spoke about trading Parsons to the Packers last year.
"We feel really good about it," Jones said, via Pro Football Talk. "Obviously much respect for Micah and what he stands for and how he plays and the caliber of player he is. At the same time, we feel good about what we've added via that trade. You look at a guy like Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark. They're alpha players who are not only great players on the field, but they're leaders in the meeting rooms, how about they go about their business in the offseason. Just bring great leadership to this team.
"I just feel very optimistic that we have the right pieces in place. Ultimately, the decision we made was that one player is not worth four or five good ones and we feel like that's where we're going to end up here in a good spot. We had that opportunity there. Didn't feel like we were one player away last year, but I certainly feel like we're putting the pieces together to give us an opportunity to go do what our fans deserve, what we want, which is to go and try to win the big trophy."
The Cowboys missed the playoffs last season, while the Packers lost to the Chicago Bears in the wild-card round.
Parsons had a stellar first season with the Packers. He finished with 12.5 sacks, 19 solo tackles, 12 tackles for loss and 27 QB hits in 14 games.
One of the best players in the league, Parsons made the Pro Bowl last season despite tearing his ACL against the Denver Broncos. The Penn State product has made the Pro Bowl every season of his NFL career.
The Packers haven't won a playoff game since 2023. They are under major pressure to win a postseason game next season
