Cowboys close the book on the Micah Parsons trade feeling "really good about it"
The Cowboys closed the book on the Micah Parsons trade during draft weekend. The team used the extra picks to make even more trades. In the end.
. . The Cowboys sent the All-Pro edge rusher to the Packers.
They traded defensive tackle Mazi Smith and a 2026 second-round pick to the Jets (later traded to the Lions) and the better of their two 2027 first-round picks to the Jets. The Cowboys acquired defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, defensive lineman Kenny Clark, outside linebacker Malachi Lawrence (23rd overall), cornerback Devin Moore (114th overall) and defensive lineman LT Overton (137th overall). The team has walked away from Parsons feeling as if they have won the trade.
"We feel really good about it," executive vice president Stephen Jones told Adam Schein on Mad Dog Sports Radio. "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.
