Due to internet rumors started up by everyone’s favorite Twitter dog, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio dug around to find out if the Green Bay Packers really had wheels in motion to acquire Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Micah Parsons. According to Florio, a source told him that Green Bay is “interested,” but that the trade is “nowhere near the smoke that’s out there.”
As Florio pointed out, the Packers’ interest doesn’t matter as long as the Cowboys choose to hang onto Parsons. Until Jerry Jones decided
that the two sides are beyond the point of a makeup, following sputtering contract negotiations that included Jones talking with Parsons instead of his agent, there will be no trade.
As a reminder, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport hypothesized earlier this month that it would take near Khalil Mack type of trade compensation for Green Bay to get Parsons, if he’s even available. Mack ended up getting traded in his prime to the Chicago Bears for a little under two first-round picks in value.
So that’s the ballpark of the trade, if the Packers choose to go down this road.
