Green Bay’s deal for Micah Parsons came with strings: per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Packers must send Dallas a 2028 first-round pick if they later trade Parsons to an NFC East team. A mirror clause covers the other player in the deal — if Dallas trades defensive tackle Kenny Clark to an NFC North team, it owes Green Bay a 2028 first-rounder. The Cowboys spurned a strong push from the Eagles. The approach recalls the 2008 Favre trade to the Jets and underscores how teams guard against bolstering division rivals.
