Micah Parsons Says Goodbye to Dallas Cowboys Fans
Saying goodbye is never easy. For several seasons Parsons has given Dallas only his best. Thus, becoming a defensive juggernaut not only within the franchise, but the entire league. But now a new era and chapter commences just one week shy of the start of the new season. On the heels of a massive trade announcement, Micah Parsons says goodbye to Dallas Cowboys fans.
On Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys made headlines heralding that they would be trading Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. A decision made after contract extension negotiations stalled and eventually completely collapsed. In exchange the star-helmet organization would receive multiple first round picks as well as defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
Immediately upon snagging Parsons, the Packers backed up the Brinks truck. As Micah joined his new team, Green Bay handed him a four-year, $188 million contract, which included $120 million fully guaranteed at signing. Making him the highest paid non-QB player in NFL history at $47 million per year.

However, Parsons didn’t just leave without thinking of the people. Micah released a statement specifically for Dallas fans. Here’s what he said:
“Cowboys Nation,
Growing up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I was one of the few kids in my neighborhood who cheered for the Dallas Cowboys. Nearly everyone around supported the Eagles, but I always believed in the star. To wear the blue and white at Penn State and then carry those same colors into the NFL as a Cowboy, it was more than a dream, it was destiny.
From the moment I arrived in Dallas, you embraced me and my family as your own. You made a kid from the east coast feel right at home in Texas. Every time I pulled up to work, every time I stepped onto that field, I felt the weight and pride of representing you. You didn’t just give me a jersey, you gave me a place to belong.
I never wanted this chapter to end, but not everything was in my control. My heart has always been here, and it still is. Through it all, I never made any demands. I never asked for anything more than fairness. I only asked that the person I trust to negotiate my contract be part of the process.
This is a sad day, but not a bitter one. I’ll never forget the joy of draft night, the adrenaline of running out of the tunnel, or the brotherhood I shared with my teammates, coaches and the staff who prepared me for every single game. Those memories are mine forever.
North Texas will continue to be my home in the offseason. I’ll still be here, giving back to the community that gave me so much. And no matter where the next chapter takes me, the bond we’ve built will never break.
Thank you, Cowboys Nation, for every cheer, every moment, and every ounce of love you showed me. Wearing the star has been the honor of my life.
With gratitude and love,
#11”
The man is poet. Parsons had many shining moments as a Cowboy. Becoming a 4x Pro Bowler, 3x All-Pro; Defensive Rookie of the Year; all while amassing 52.5 sacks, 9 forced fumbles and 4 fumble recoveries. He was a figure of excellence on the Cowboys and we can’t wait to see him be just as entertaining to watch as a Packer.
