Mina Kimes had some strong words for the Cowboys over the Micah Parsons trade.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on ESPN on Friday, Kimes came at Dallas for trading away the star linebacker, saying that the deal will go down<\/a> as one of the \u201cbiggest mistakes\u201d in NFL history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in NFL history and I don\u2019t think that is dramatic,\u201d Kimes said<\/a>. \u201cPlayers like Micah Parsons don\u2019t get traded. The one that we bring up as the most recent comparison is Khalil Mack being moved to Chicago a few years ago for a couple of firsts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimes added that the Cowboys should have received much more in return from Green Bay for Parsons in comparison to Mack\u2019s trade to the Bears in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrankly, they should have gotten more for Parsons because he is younger and better in my opinion,\u201d she said. \u201cWith that trade, after Mack was moved the Raiders went downhill and, candidly, I expect the same with Dallas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ESPN reporter concluded by saying no team should trade away a talent like Parsons, calling the 26-year-old a future Hall of Famer.<\/p>\n

\u201cMicah Parsons is the kind of player you wait an entire generation to draft,\u201d Kimes said. \u201cHe is a future Hall of Famer. He is one of the two or three best defensive players in all of football. The only case in which I think it would be defensible to trade a player like that is if you don\u2019t have a quarterback and you\u2019re a rebuilding team and you\u2019re going to be bad anyways.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s not what Dallas was. Nothing about this is logical to me. I have yet to hear a coherent football defense for it, and it seems like it was a case of hurt feelings that spiraled out of control.\u201d<\/p>\n

After weeks of back-and-forth between the two<\/a> parties, Parsons was dealt to the Packers on Thursday. <\/p>\n

The Cowboys received three-time Pro Bowler Kenny Clark and Green Bay\u2019s first-round picks for the next two years in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mina Kimes had some strong words for the Cowboys over the Micah Parsons trade.
