Packers basically gave the Cowboys 10 free years worth of contracts between two rookies if you factor the fifth year options. I would be reluctant to give up two first rounders for a QB, let alone a DE. I’m still a little shocked the Packers pulled the trigger.

Because Packers are in a win now mode, hopefully it backfires on their @$$..

I think it will. Maybe not this season but they will not like this deal in a couple of years.

Giants just walked off the Cubbies, on a Jung Hoo Lee single.
Giants win 5 in a row to sweep Chicago, heading into a series with the Brewers.

Don't know why the fans are blowing up... Micah can't win a Super Bowl by himself...

True, but he’s put up some pretty damn impressive numbers in 4 years, especially considering offenses often scheme away from him.
He’s a hell of a player.
I’d rather he stayed a Cowboy instead of a Packer.

Cowboys just traded Micah Parsons to the Packers...

Don’t look now but the Red Sox are only 3.5 back in the East

I mean yeah he is a top 3-5 pass rusher but I don’t think he is better than TJ Watt over the past several years. The leading sack guy last year was Trey Hendrickson with 17.5. Micah averages 13 per year. I don’t think he is deserving of getting paid nearly what a QB is getting but that’s just me. He did the Cowboys a solid by behaving like a child. Now he gets to play in the cold ass north and freeze his butt off while the Cowboys get to find an affordable replacement.

I seem to recall the Falcons trading away a generational QB to the Packers several years ago. Can’t pinpoint his name but he owns a Super Bowl ring and didn’t blow a 28-3 lead vs the Patriots

Tristan Keys officially flips commitment to the Vols.

 

[CobbWebb71]

I don’t think ANY of them are worth what they’re getting paid.
All I’m getting at is I’d be a little upset if I were a Cowboy fan.
I’d rather have this guy on my team than not.

Sweet!!
I was waiting to hear something!

Micah wasn't going to play and Jerry wasn't going to budge on his stance.

Another thing not mentioned is because the Packers traded Clark after his extension last season, they will have $18M and $17M worth of dead cap space the next two years. Great move Packers

I had hoped the falcons would draft Parsons, but alas they took Kyle Pitts

Clark's contract for next 3 seasons is not much more than Micah gets for 1 season.

That’s great. This may go a long way to keep our back up QBs from transferring. We have a 5 ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ coming in but he’ll be freshman. This year is a wait and see, but next year all this talent will be experienced.

Yep, shrewd move by Jerry. He was probably becoming a locker room problem too so it all worked out in the Cowboys favor.

To be fair, Pitts looked to be about as surefire as possible

Who you for Horns vs. Nuts?

Good question, and I've debated it. I absolutely loathe both teams. Seriously, I'm cheering for the meteor. But in the end our game is at the same time, so I might see some highlights.......the deciding factor for me is Arch. Great family, seemingly good kid...so I'm slightly cheering for the horns(upside down, of course)

Parsons could go out there and have a career ending injury Week 1. I bet if the Browns could go back and not do the Watson trade they wouldn’t do it. Majority of fans probably don’t have an ounce of business background so I would expect most of them to be ignorant to the situation.

Anytime you agree with the Browns’ or Jerruh’s roster management, yer on thin ice. /js

USF has a 230 lb QB that is trucking the Boise defense. 7-10 USF.

 

[CobbWebb71]

Who you for Horns vs. Nuts?

I’m not “for” either one.
I’m just looking forward to an entertaining game from a couple of big boy programs.
I just hate that it’s the same time slot as our Vols.

Did you just call me ignorant?
