Listen, if you want to tell yourselves some fairytales, I can't stop you but this elevates Green Bay to NFC Superbowl level elite. Trust me, I wish I could say differently.

I have no idea how they can put a legit team together with that set up. And no first round pick for each of the next 2 years. If it was Kwesi fine we would find UDFA's LOL, but here it just doesn't logically make any sense even though he is a good player. You trade away Kenny Clark too.

The division is going to be a bloodbath this year. It already was, now add Parsobs to the mix...damn

Wow...Im surprised Dallas moved him.
I'm sure they're hoping it bumps em past Detroit on the pecking order.
Young, ascending player - all the things I hate optically in GB. Losing Clark hurts though.
This is another reason why we had to upgrade the OL.

I didn’t know there was an NFC Super Bowl. They were a conference championship contender to begin with. This may inch them up slightly In the odds this year. Clark was a Pro Bowler and that’s not nothing. We’re above everybody if McCarthy plays at a high level.

I'm not quite there yet Sticky...
Reason being Parsons didnt elevate Dallas to that level and Love imo is not at Prescott level yet?
That said, big move by GB and it will help in the w/l column no doubt.

Yep you trade 1 probowler for another probowler - pay said player a ton of money and lose picks. How much doe Parsons over Clark truly move the needle?

Just another reason to hate Dallas...
RE: Parsons traded to the Pack... - AGRforever - 08-28-2025
They gave up a premium player and 2x 1sts. Then gave a massive contract.
This isn’t near as bad as it sounds. Parsons was a huge medical coming out of college. I didn’t want us picking him because of it.
Let the packers fafo.
Super top heavy in cap going forward. Color me not worried.

We will have more sacks than the packers this year. And without Clark, we will run on them too. It’s a good win now move for the pack, but they gave up way to much.
Finally, Jordan Love is not that good.
