In one of the most stunning NFL trades in recent memory, the Green Bay Packers sent defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round draft picks to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for pass-rushing superstar Micah Parsons. The move marks a massive shift for both franchises, raising questions about Dallas owner Jerry Jones’ long-term vision while giving the Packers a defensive cornerstone for years to come.
Kenny Clark Heads to Dallas
At 314 pounds, Clark is not a one-for-one replacement for Parsons, who built his reputation as a lightning-fast edge rusher. Instead, Clark will anchor the Cowboys’ defensive line from the interior, tasked with fixing a glaring weakness — Dallas’ inability to consistently stop the run.

Clark, a first-round pick in 2016 out of UCLA, has been a model of consistency in Green Bay. He has appeared in at least 13 games in every season of his nine-year career and hasn’t missed a game since December 2021. Over that span, he has notched 417 tackles, three Pro Bowl selections, and 11 playoff appearances, becoming one of the league’s most durable interior defenders.
Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst praised Clark on his way out, saying:
“From the time he arrived in 2016, Kenny established himself as one of the top defensive tackles in the league and in the history of this franchise with his production, durability and leadership.”
Parsons Brings Star Power to Green Bay
For the Packers, the move delivers Parsons, widely regarded as a generational defensive talent. Since entering the league in 2021, Parsons has terrorized quarterbacks and earned a reputation as one of the NFL’s most complete pass rushers.
Green Bay is betting on Parsons to lead its defense for the next decade, while also gaining additional roster flexibility after parting ways with Clark. The move signals a long-term defensive strategy built around speed and disruption.
Jerry Jones Defends the Trade
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones defended the trade in a lengthy media session on Thursday. He said the deal makes Dallas stronger in the short term despite parting with Parsons.
“We did think it was in the best interest of our organization — not only the future, but right now, this season as well,” Jones said. “The facts are, specifically, we need to stop the run. We haven’t been able to stop the run at key times for several years.”
By adding Clark, Jones believes the Cowboys gain a proven interior presence capable of stabilizing the defense in critical moments.
What’s Next for Both Teams
The blockbuster deal leaves both teams in new territory. The Packers now boast one of the NFL’s premier defensive weapons in Parsons, while the Cowboys bet on Clark to plug holes in the middle of their defense.
The true winner of this trade will become clear only when the season unfolds. But for now, fans in Dallas and Green Bay are left debating whether this swap of stars will transform — or haunt — their franchises for years to come.
