Micah Parsons Says Eagles Deal Was Close, Explains Why It Fell Through

His podcast account points to an insistence on playing beside Jalen Carter as the sticking point.

Overview

  • Parsons said on his Bleacher Report podcast during Super Bowl week that a move to Philadelphia was "very close."
  • He said he would not go to Philadelphia if Jalen Carter was part of the outbound package, noting Dallas wanted a top defensive tackle back.
  • The Cowboys ultimately sent Parsons to Green Bay for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks just before the 2025 season.
  • The Packers signed Parsons to a four-year, $186 million extension after the trade.
  • ESPN previously reported the DallasGreen Bay deal included a poison-pill clause that would penalize any Packers trade sending Parsons to an NFC East team through 2026, and Parsons is rehabbing a December ACL tear with a September return in mind.
