There are many fans of the Dallas Cowboys who are already hurting after their favorite team traded away superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.
Their feelings likely won't get better after hearing this.
Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, joined ESPN's First Take on Tuesday to share more details of what went down in Dallas.
One key point he made: "Micah wanted to be a Cowboy. He grew up cheering for the Cowboys."

Any time you can trade away a player who was first a lifelong fan of your team and then grew into a star for that team, seems like a great plan, huh?
Mulugheta also shared more details on the reported meeting between Parsons and Jerry Jones from the spring. Jones has said he thought he and Parsons had a verbal agreement on a contract, while Parsons said he never expected there to be any contract negotiations in that meeting. It also would go against the NFLPA's collective bargaining agreement for negotiations to take place without an agent in the room.
"At no point did Micah believe that he was negotiating a contract," Mulugheta said on First Take.
Mulugheta's name was in the headlines more than usual for this situation, because Jones early on said that he didn't have anything to do with the agent in these discussions. That's despite, as mentioned above, agents being a crucial component to negotiations that follow the league's rules.

In the end, whatever the reason, Parsons and the Cowboys couldn't agree on a contract, and he was traded to a different historic NFC franchise (one that has done more winning of late).
Parsons got a four-year, $188 million contract from Green Bay, making his $47 million per year a new NFL record for non-quarterbacks.
The Cowboys got DT Kenny Clark and two first-round picks in the trade.
The winner will be determined down the road.
But it seems for now like Cowboys fans are going to have a lot to cope with.
