Philadelphia Eagles' Failed Attempt to Acquire Micah Parsons: Cowboys Trade Him to Green Bay Packers Instead
The Philadelphia Eagles made an attempt to acquire Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. However, the Cowboys ultimately traded Parsons to the Green Bay Packers due to contract negotiations falling through. Despite Parsons' Pennsylvania roots and college experience at Penn State, the Cowboys were not willing to trade him to a division rival. Parsons, who grew up as a Cowboys fan, signed a lucrative four-year, $188 million contract extension with the Packers following the trade.
