Micah Parsons Prohibited From Being Traded Back to NFC East?
When the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers agreed to the blockbuster Micah Parsons trade this past summer, the Cowboys added a clause that essentially prevents the Packers from trading Parsons to the Philadelphia Eagles or any NFC East team. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, if the Packers trade Parsons to the Eagles in 2025 or 2026, the Packers would owe the Cowboys a first-round pick. The two teams applied the same condition to Kenny Clark, who was traded to Dallas as part of the deal and must stay out of the NFC North for the next two seasons. The clause was added due to Parsons' interest in returning to Pennsylvania to play for the Eagles. This specific trade condition initially flew under the radar, but opposing teams started to take notice when exploring the NFL's internal draft pick database ahead of the trade deadline. When the Cowboys traded multiple draft picks for Quinnen Williams at the deadline, they were prohibited from including their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks, as Dallas has to keep that selection in case they end up trading Clark. Similarly, the Packers would not have been allowed to include their 2028 first-round pick in trade talks.
