Is He a Linebacker or a Defensive End?

What’s more, the Packers rarely dish out such extensive guarantees beyond the first year, having done so only thrice in their history—previously for Parsons, Jordan Love, and Aaron Rodgers.

Why Did the Packers Want Him So Badly?

The sheer scale of Parsons’ contract, coupled with the considerable compensation the Packers provided to the Cowboys (which included two first-round picks and Kenny Clark), highlights just how fervently Green Bay sought to secure his talent. It’s clear they coveted him far more than the Cowboys ever did!
