Dallas Cowboys fans might not be feeling too happy after the massive trade<\/a> that sent star edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. But Parsons, in his own words, is feeling “great.”<\/p>\n

Parsons spoke to reporters on Friday in an introductory press conference, saying that he felt physically good and that he was ready to get out there right away. Parsons has been sitting out of Dallas’ preseason practice with a back issue (though maybe, possibly, the ongoing contract dispute<\/a> had something to do with it too).<\/p>\n

“Physically, I’m great,” Parsons said on Friday. “I think I can contribute a lot. I’m going to team up with the doctors and create a plan. We already talked about how we can ramp me up and get me in a flow where they feel comfortable and I feel comfortable.<\/p>\n

“My plan is to be here. They didn’t give up what they gave up for me to sit on the sidelines.”<\/p>\n

As part of the trade, Green Bay signed Parsons, the 2021 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, a three-time All-Pro and four-time Pro Bowler, to a reported four-year, $188 million deal with $136 million guaranteed. That number makes him the richest non-quarterback in NFL history.<\/p>\n

In return, Dallas got two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in the trade. Clark said Friday that he was “shocked” after being traded<\/a>, but that he’s “appreciative” of the new opportunity.<\/p>\n

The trade ended a simmering monthslong negotiation<\/a> between Parsons and his agent, David Mulugheta, and Cowboys team owner and general manager Jerry Jones. In his mind, Jones believed he had negotiated a deal and Parsons agreed, per reports, only Mulugheta was never involved. When Parsons told Jones he wanted Mulugheta involved, things apparently fell apart. Jones took shots at Parsons<\/a> as part of a meandering media conference to open training camp, then Parsons requested a trade,<\/a> and last week Jones went on a media tour lobbing more jabs at Mulugheta,<\/a> which (probably) led to Parsons demonstrably checking out<\/a> on the sideline during the Cowboys’ final preseason game.<\/p>\n

NFL top storylines<\/p>\n

Texans GM non-committal on whether Joe Mixon will play this season: Mixon was placed on the reserve\/non-football injury list on Monday as he deals with a foot injury, which means he’ll miss the first four weeks of the season. Will he play at all this year? “We’ll see. We’ll take it one day at a time,” Texans general manager Nick Caserio said.<\/a> “We’ll evaluate those players after four weeks and see where they are in their progression and then make a determination.” Mixon’s foot injury kept him out of offseason OTAs, minicamp and all of training camp. His absence on the Texans’ roster opens the door to Nick Chubb to be atop the running back depth chart ahead of Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks.<\/p>\n

NFL debuts rivalry jerseys to be worn during 2025 season: The NFL is taking rivalry games to a new level in 2025. In an attempt to play up big games between some of the biggest adversaries in the sport, teams from the AFC East and NFC West will don new rivalry jerseys for select matchups. The league unveiled those rivalry uniforms Thursday, and they received high marks from fans. Check out the AFC East and NFC West’s editions right here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Colts insist they’re not trading Anthony Richardson: Despite benching Richardson in favor of Daniel Jones, Colts general manager Chris Ballard said<\/a> Wednesday he’s not going anywhere. \u201cWe\u2019re not trading him,\u201d Ballard said plainly, via ESPN\u2019s Stephen Holder. The Colts signed Jones to a one-year deal in March and he seemingly validated that decision by beating Richardson in a QB1 competition in training camp. Richardson was the fourth overall pick in 2023 but has struggled with injuries and subpar play.<\/p>\n
