Micah Parsons shattered the defensive end market when he inked his new four-year, $188 million contract that features $136 million in guarantees with the Green Bay Packers.
The former Penn State product finally got the contract he was looking for, which the Dallas Cowboys refused to give him, and is now the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.
Parsons secured the highly sought-after second contract that players across all professional sports leagues strive for their entire careers, and now he can share that wealth with his family.
Micah Parsons Announces His Mom Never Has to Work a Day in Her Life Again
In an emotional post to Instagram, Parsons shared a video of himself hugging his mom with the caption, "That moment when your momma never got to work again! God you are amazing!!"
In what was surely a special day for his family, it's heartwarming to see just how impactful this contract is for Parsons and his loved ones.
Sherese Parsons, Micah's mother, will get to retire at a relatively young age, which is arguably the best part of an athlete's struggle to earn their family's generational wealth.
Now the former Cowboys pass rusher will look to retain his status as the league's best defender and live up to that contract that makes him one of the richest men in football.
Parsons will see his former team for a Week 4 matchup on Sunday Night Football in Arlington, Texas, which the entire NFL world will surely be tuned in for.
