The shocking trade that no one saw coming has finally happened. Micah Parsons' era with the Dallas Cowboys is officially over. According to reports, the All-Pro linebacker was traded to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.

Parsons has agreed to a massive four-year, $188 million deal with the Packers, negotiated by agents David Mulugheta and Andre Odom of Athletes First. The contract includes a guaranteed $136 million, according to NFL insiders Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.

Soon after the trade was announced, Packers writer Matt Schneidman of The Athletic tweeted a major update: "Source: The Packers are trading at least two first-rounders to the Cowboys for Micah Parsons."

Additional clarity came quickly when Rapoport shared that the Cowboys' return includes defensive tackle Kenny Clark alongside two first-round selections.

This trade ends Parsons' standoff with Dallas and signals the Packers' intent to boost their pass rush immediately.
