Parsons’ four-year, $188 million contract agreement with the Packers includes $120 million fully guaranteed at signing and $136 million in total guarantees, sources told ESPN<\/a>. The reported deal makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.<\/p>\n

The big payday resulted in Parsons seemingly being able to retire his mother, Sherese Parsons, from work. The four-time Pro Bowler posted a video of him celebrating with Sherese on his Instagram story Thursday, writing: “that moment when [your] momma never got to work again!”<\/p>\n

Sherese told<\/a> WFAA during an interview in February that Micah kept trying to get her to quit her job at United Concordia Dental — where she celebrated 25 years of employment in March<\/a> — but that she was “up in the air.”<\/p>\n

“Maybe [once he signs a new deal]. Cause I told him, I said ‘if I quit my job, what am I gonna do?'” she said.<\/p>\n

Now, they have a decision to make as Parsons is ready to retire his mother.<\/p>\n

The Packers acquired Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys<\/a> for three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark<\/a> and two first-round picks. Parsons returns to Dallas in Week 4 to face his old team on “Sunday Night Football.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The blockbuster trade that sent Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday marked a new chapter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":105461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-105460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=105460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/105460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/105461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=105460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=105460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=105460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
