When the Dallas Cowboys decided to move on from Micah Parsons in a deal with the Green Bay Packers, it didn't seem like the right move. Fast forward to Parsons' first game with the Packers, and not only did he look great in a limited snap count, but it seems like Green Bay might have the best defense in the NFL.
That will undoubtedly impact the Cowboys in the NFC, but there's a lot more that went into this decision than anybody likely knows.
Parsons attempted to shed some light on the situation, telling reporters, including Matt Schneidman, that things had been toxic with the Cowboys over the last six months.

He didn't get into specifics about what went on, but said that he doesn't want any other player to go through something like that.
“These last six months was super draining, super toxic for everyone. It’s something that I don’t think no player should have to go through,” Parsons said.
" … The fact that I was traded a week before the season was really outrageous and rough. It’s something where I could’ve been with these guys getting better and better, and we could’ve had probably (an) even more dominant start."

Parsons is dealing with a back issue, which is why he’s on a snap count.
However, it's possible that the Packers put him on that snap count because he had just been traded to the team and needed to learn a new defensive scheme.
Regardless of what the reason was, the Packers looked great on Sunday and should be very excited about their future with the former Penn State standout coming off the edge every Sunday.
