Dallas shockingly traded Micah Parsons to Green Bay, a move Jerry Jones framed as bigger than any one player. Parsons, a four-time Pro Bowler, leaves a defense that carried the Cowboys’ ceiling for years and lands with a Packers squad seeking a faster path to legitimacy around Jordan Love. Dallas counters with a long-term plan, turning space and cap into youth and depth for a future window.

Packers fans herald a defensive upgrade while fantasy managers reassess value across both teams. The Cowboys’ 53-man roster talks for 2025 add intrigue as depth charts shift, and Traeshon Holden’s practice squad saga highlights the churn surrounding such a blockbuster. In short, the parity of the trade reshapes immediate expectations and long-term ambitions for both franchises.
