The Packers pulled off a stunning blockbuster trade on Thursday, agreeing to send two first-round picks and DT Kenny Clark to the Cowboys for star DE Micah Parsons.

The situation between Dallas and Parsons had clearly deteriorated over the last few months and ultimately culminated in a trade request.

Jane Slater was able to speak with Parsons about what transpired with the Cowboys.

Parsons told Slater that he and his representatives went to the Cowboys about an extension “with empathy” when the trade interest leaked this week.

Ian Rapoport confirms that the Cowboys had a chance to stop this from resulting in a trade out of Dallas, but they ultimately declined.
