Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. And I know this isn't a Dallas Cowboys podcast, but it's an NFL podcast and Jerry has done it again. He shocked the world with insanity. They have traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay packers for Kenny Clark and two first round picks on top of the Green Bay packers giving Micah Parsons A four year 180 million deal with 136 million guaranteed. Those are the details that Schefter tweeted out. So usually you can trust those. But it looks like 47 million per year for Micah Parsons going to Green Bay, which changes the dynamic of that team drastically throws them deep into the contender conversation. One of their huge weaknesses was just getting to the passer and being consistent on defense. And they got a game record. Micah Parsons a four time Pro Bowler, a three time all probably. And it leaves the Dallas Cowboys with a head scratching pass rush. And they didn't have a great pass rush last year. Micah Parsons misses four games, still ends up with 12 sacks, 75 pressures and now you say, hey, we got two first round picks. That doesn't help you. Now you have your franchise quarterback. Now the window is just closing slowly, slowly, slowly but surely closing on every team, every team that has their quarterback right now. The window is on its way closed because they get older and older and there's so much that I don't understand about this. But the biggest part I don't understand is you paid Dak Prescott $60 million when you didn't have to pay him $60 million. The going rate, the top of the market was 55 million at the time. And you said, hey, you know what, we care and love Dax so much, we're going to go 5 million per year over above the highest paid quarterback in the National Football League because that's how much we care about our quarterback. Okay, it's your world. You do that, Jerry. You pay CD Lamb top of the market. Okay, you do that Jerry. You pay Trey Diggs top of the market at the time. Okay, you do that, Jerry. But when it comes to the four time Pro Bowler, the all Pro, no off the field problems, you say, ah, we don't want to do that. We don't want to pay top of the market. You could have got when, when Nicholas John Bosa got paid, they could have gotten Micah Parsons at 34, maybe $35 million per year and he would have been happy, everybody would have been happy. He would still be making that. Maybe, maybe they'd be arguing that he should be up for an extension or something now. But you'd have him and, and he would have gotten paid and everybody's happy and you got him for an affordable rate. You would have saved $10 million a year going forward. So maybe you would have had a little Bit extra for an extension. But you wait until the last year of his contract and the salary cap has jumped, I don't know, 30, $40 million since then. So of course the number for a defensive end at the top paid non quarterback is going to be higher. And you say you, you go into public and you call him somebody else's name. You call him Michael Parsons. Like I can't even quantify the level of disrespect that is. I can't even quantify that to not only just be a guy on your team, but to be one of your best players. And you not even know my name. And that you know my name and that you go into a press conference and call me somebody else's name. Like my goodness, I can't. I understand Jerry's older, but that's a, that, oh, that's an unforgivable mistake. You can't do it. And that's, that's the disrespect he took it as and that's what everybody saw then to double down on it. Talk about how the games he missed, he missed 5 games in his career for your team. 5 games. He leads the league in QB pressures and speed of pressure. Since he's came in in 2021, he's made four Pro Bowls. No arrests, no off the field issues, nothing. For all intents and purposes, he's been a consummate professional in every sense of imagination. He's what you look for and a pro. Productive, great, consistent leader, competitive. You got it.

And you say we don't want to pay him or you don't want to do a deal with his agent. Then you make up things that his age that you say his agent said. I mean all these things were digging a hole deeper and deeper and deeper for Jerry Jones. And you knew that. Hey, it's getting to the point. Micah Parsons is not going to play for the Dallas Cowboys. He could play this game with you guys as long as he wanted to. He could have faked the, the back injury as long as he wanted to. Oh, I rolled my ankle at, at going out there rehabbing. Ah, I can't, I gotta, I gotta keep going. And you good. You would have had to pay him. This is all because of you, Jerry. Now you're already porous. Defense, they, they, they, they struggled last year. You didn't get a ton of pieces to, to improve that. Now will health help health in a secondary, help that some. Yeah, no question about it. You get, you get healthier in a secondary. Hopefully Trey Diggs is healthy, hopefully you get your guys back. But to lose arguably a top 10 player overall in the National Football League on that defense that wasn't ranked very high and really without him on the field, the EPA for your defense is among the worst in the league. It's a head scratching move for a team that prides itself on being contenders, an owner that prides itself on being in the mix and having a winning team and all that like this does not get you closer to that. This doesn't get you closer to a Super Bowl. This gets the Green Bay packers closer to the Super Bowl. No question about it. No question about it. They have their holes, they have their weaknesses. They're not a perfect team by any stretch of the imagination, but they are closer today to being contenders and contending for a Super bowl than they were yesterday. And I understand two first rounders and the $40 million, they're super young team. You got a young quarterback, you got young receivers, you got a young defense, you don't have a lot of high, high number guys. And sure they'll have to make some adjustments in the future and rearrange some things, but they're showing their team, hey, we're serious about winning. We're serious right now. We want to win right now. We think we got a good enough team and we want to show you guys we're serious now and in the future about winning. What message is this sending to the Dallas Cowboys? Micah was beloved in their locker room by his teammates, by your best guys, by Dak Prescott, by Ceedee Lamb, by Trey Diggs. So you're sending away one of your most impactful players, your most beloved players. Fans loved him. The only thing that could, could remedy this for Jerry Jones is winning. And I, I, nothing about what has happened says, oh, this team is going to be primed to, to make a run to the super bowl this year if they do, Color me surprise. Color me surprised. I don't know football as much as I, I think I do. I think they have enough offensively to compete with anybody. I think George Pickens is a great addition. I think that the offensive line, obviously they, they lose Guyton, but I think they're talented enough to, to make a run. But defensively they have a lot of question marks. They did not play well last year with or without Michael Parsons, but, but going into the season without him just did not seem like, I mean any, any stretch of the imagination anybody would have fathomed they would be going in without Michael Parsons to start week one. And they're going to play the Green Bay Packers. So he's going to have his revenge game very early on. I expect him to have to create chaos for the Dallas Cowboys and have another great Pro bowl all pro season. So long story short, I don't get it. I do not understand Jerry Jones or the logic behind this. Everybody understands first round draft picks are what they were. Are you, you've drafted well. Cool. I understand that. Kenny Clark, solid guy, you know, impactful guy. He's gonna, he's gonna help your defensive line, but he's not gonna help and take three, three offensive linemen to block him each and every play. He's not going to have the effort. He's not going to have the production that Michael Parsons does. If he does, then that'd be a huge addition to the Dallas Cowboys. But I just don't feel like they won this trade. I don't feel like they won this as a team trying to compete for a championship this year as a team who's already paid their franchise quarterback $60 million. They paid him $60 million. And still to this day, there's not a quarterback within $5 million APY of Dak Prescott. Like that's, that's how crazy that deal was. Like he did it last year. And there's still not a quarterback that burrows $5 million off Mahomes per APY. I think Mahomes might be under what Micah Parsons just got. But you know, there's other things going on in Kansas City. You know, I'm sure he'll, he'll change some things. It's a longer term deal, etc. Etc. He's trying to make sure they have money to pay other guys, which is why they keep finding themselves in the Super Bowl. What? Five of the last six years they find themselves in the super bowl. But that's a story for a different day. They're going to have to do something about Jerry. They're going to. This got to be the last draw for Dallas Cowboys fans. And I know this is the beginning of the season and everybody's looking for optimism and reasons to have hope in their team, but this just is a head scratching move by every stretch of the imagination. I'm trying to find a way to spin it where you guys can feel good about it, but you just lost arguably your best player for future draft picks that may or may not amount to good players, like not anybody that's Kenny Clark's going to help you this year. But those two first round draft picks are going to do nothing for you this season and maybe they'll do something for you in the future. But right you're looking for right now and if you were going to make this trade, you should have made it at the draft so you could have drafted somebody.

They at least help you this year. Oh, my God. This is just, it's just crazy. It's just crazy. But enough about the Cowboys. Let's talk about what this means for the Green Bay Packers. The Cheeseheads. They had a good defense last year. They had a top five defense in total yards per game. They had a top six defense. They were number six in scoring per game. They were even, surprisingly, for the first time in 15 years, they averaged under 100 yards rushing allowed per game. They were number seventh in the league. So you're talking about a defense that was trending in the right direction. Trending in the right direction. They, they, they were fourth in turnovers, tied for eighth in sacks. And then you add Micah Parsons. You talk about a team that talks about, hey, we're serious about winning and, and taking the next step. Taking the next step and getting ourselves in the mix. You trade for a player like this when you have a defense, a top five defense already, and you're like, hey, this will get you over the top. Yes, it will. It will definitely get you over the top. Last year, Rashawn Gary was their most dominant player. Had a 12% win rate. Micah Parsons has a 20% win rate. So you talk about the good only getting better. The NFC north is a juggernaut right now. We already know what the Detroit Lions are. We already know what the Minnesota Vikings have done. Obviously they're going to have to, we're going to have to see what the young quarterback can do. But Flores, in that defense, they had a phenomenal season last year. 14 wins if I'm not mistaken. Chicago Bears revamped that offensive line. A new head coach, they're looking better. Their, their defense was, it was pretty good. Obviously they lose Eber flutes, but they make the unnecessary adjustments. They have talent. Then Johnson's doing what he can with Caleb Williams. I mean, it's Caleb Williams, I'm sure, man. But it's, it's, it's going to be a interesting ride this year. This, this is one of those moves that may divide a franchise or at least a fan base for the Dallas Cowboys. And this is something that has Green Bay packers fans jumping for joy. Great defense just got better. A really, really good team just became a great team. They were on the fringe of contention. You're like, hey, what, they need another piece? Like who, who was their go to guy? Who's there? Like they have it, they have it. And so if, if they can do what you expect them to do offensively and they can run the ball and Josh Jacobs does what he does, I think this is going to be a really, I mean maybe a 13 win team in Green Bay in a very, I mean the top three defense, if not the best defense in football. But I can't take that away from the Denver, Denver Broncos with everything they did last year and what they have coming back. Defensive player of the year and Patrick Certain. But this is a great move for Green Bay and what, what a job they are doing right now. I can't wait to see how this plays out. I can't wait to see the game against the Green Bay packers versus the Dallas Cowboys. I'm going to have my popcorn ready. I'm going to be tuned in the rivalries, the marching bands, the upsets.

Now we're going to move on to other news in the NFL. 49ers pick up Marquez Valdez Scantling. They pick up Brian Robinson. They, you know, everybody's practice squads get full filled up. There were, there weren't a lot of other notable moves. Amari Cooper goes back to the to the Las Vegas Raiders. Obviously this Michael Parsons trade is the huge, the huge news of the day. But I'm sure there are other moves that are going to be made regarding draft picks. There's been Adam Thielen went back to the Minnesota Vikings for I think a fourth or fifth from the Carolina Panthers and they sent a seventh and fifth back that way or seventh and a fifth to Cara to back to Minnesota, which is a cool move for them. Cool move for the Minnesota Vikings and Adam Thielen getting to move his family back where it all started and getting to make a run with them. Obviously they're going to be missing Addison for the first three games because of the suspension, so just some security there and strengthen their receiving core. I'm sure Kevin o' Connell appreciates that. He'll fit right in. Veteran guy might be the oldest receiver in the league. I think he's 35. So good move for the Minnesota Vikings. The season's right around the corner. It's going to be a great year. I'm excited. First game of the season, the Seattle Seahawks versus the San Francisco 49ers. That's going to obviously that's a game I am totally invested in. I am going to be watching that from start to finish pregame, see how these two teams compete, see how it all shakes out. San Francisco hasn't been very healthy and hasn't seen their full ones out on the field in a real game yet. Seattle hasn't put their total first team defense out there in a game, but their offensive line looks better. That run game run scheme that Clint Kubiak is putting out there looks phenomenal. Obviously you know what you're going to get from JSN and Cooper cup looking to get K9 healthy if he's healthy. Charbonnet looked good in the preseason. San Francisco still has Trent Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy got his money. He looks great. Nicholas John Bosa be healthy Fred Warner, d' Amador and Lenore, you know, the normal suspects and the big question mark will be that defensive line. If the defensive line can hold up and and be impactful and the D tackles can can hold up the young D tackles. It's going to be a great year and a great, great competitive NFC west. With the Rams obviously doing getting devonte Adams and continuing what they were able to do last year. They they took the Eagles to the wire and had a chance to go to the NFC Championship game in that snow game. And as long as they have Matthew Stafford, I think they got a chance to be in the mix. So the NFC west will be competitive as ever. The Arizona Cardinals, you know, leave a it's up to be it it's to be seen what Kyler Murray is going to going to do. Is he going to be able to stay healthy? If he stays healthy, what are they going to be able to do win wise? It's kind of been a roller coaster for those fans. I'm sure they're saying the same thing, but as always, the season preview is coming up soon. Stay tuned. As always, I appreciate you. You could be anywhere in the world, but you're here with me. And man, I thank you for that. Have a great day. Beautiful, blessed day. Be with your family and friends. All love.
