Packers' Micah Parsons jersey number could be a dilemma in Green Bay image

All the new edits of the traded Micah Parsons pictured in a Green Bay Packers uniform show him wearing No. 11.

One problem: At least for now, that jersey number is spoken for.

Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed wears 11. And he's not just a bit player. He's one of the Packers' top offensive playmakers.

Parsons wore No. 11 at both Penn State and now with the Dallas Cowboys.

In high school in Harrisburg, Parsons wore No. 23. They've retired that number at Harrisburg High School.

Right now, RB Israel Abanikanda is listed as No. 23 for the Packers. That'd be a highly unusual choice for an edge rusher.

Many fans on X want Parsons to wear No. 0. That'd be a pretty sick choice.

Parsons could always end up with 11. Reed may want his new teammate to feel welcomed, and giving up his uniform number would be a nice way to do that.

Given that Parsons now has a huge new contract, he might be able to give Reed something nice in exchange for his number.

Or this will be a chance for a new beginning for Parsons.

New home, new him vibes.

Regardless, Parsons is going to be a superstar. The Cowboys will miss him, and the Packers will love him.
