In exchange for Parsons, the Cowboys received a 2026 first-round pick, a 2027 first-round pick and Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark from Green Bay, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Parsons’ contract disputes with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones have been well-documented in recent weeks, but the fact that Jones chose to not only trade Parsons — but to send him to an NFC rival — is sure to incense Cowboys fans well beyond a boiling point.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz did not mince words when it came to criticizing Jerry Jones.

I can promise you this: Teams across the entire NFL are laughing at Jerry Jones and the #Cowboys right now. For so many reasons.
