It will in the eyes of the media, who for some crazy reason, had the Packers as a contender. They weren't. But they might be now. No, this is not good. The North was frustratingly strong before. Now it's even stronger.

Clark is going to be 30 this year and played all 17 games last season to the tune of 1 whopping sack. I'm surprised they didn't ask for Wyatt, Walker or some combo with Van Ness

Perhaps Sticky, but in no universe is Parsons a Reggie White or Lawrence Taylor. I remember when the Bears gave away the farm for Khalil Mack and how did that turn out? The cap hit will be huge going forward and losing two first round picks is a killer too. Also do NOT underestimate what Kenny Clark did for the interior of that Defensive Line. I have no illusions Parsons will be a thorn in the Vikings side, just not sure trading 2 first rounders and a Pro Bowl DT along with the $47 mil cap hit is worth it?

Don't underestimate what Kenny Clark meant to that defense. Think Henry Thomas. He will be missed for sure.

I'm also really surprised they'd trade him within the conference Strange

I am too, but we've seen stranger things over the years...
Gutekunst came to the bargaining table loaded for bear.

Interesting, I don't expect splash moves from the Pack. Parsons won't be as fast on grass in the elements as he is on turf indoors.
They probably feel they are doing Reggie White all over again but Parsons and Love ain't White and Favre. It makes them a little better but I expect the hype machine will crank up and start crowning their asses as of now.

Dallas got fleeced, Clark had 1 or 2 sacks in '24 and 20 tackles. He turns 30 in Oct.
