Parsons?

[Tony Oday]

Affirmative, old foe - except for the “pics” - I ain’t queer, I reckon.

Punks like Bobble think the Packers would be jeopardizing the future by forgoing the rights to draft a bunch of Savages, Walkers, Wyatts, Miller/Mitchell/McNabb/McCoy/Morgans. Them bums ain’t anything special.

And I laugh out loud when punks like Bobble say, this player or that player ain’t worth this or that, as if them punks are paying the player’s salary. Guess what, punks, your Packer stocks are worth the same regardless of the Packers’ bottom line: zero.

Fuck yeah, trade for Micah Hyde, err, Parsons!

A hell has frozen over, I agree with you. I honestly would LOVE to keep Rashan but I don't think you can so we would have to send him the next two #1s and up to 2 more #2s. I would 100% do this. He transforms the defense. He makes pass coverage better by the pressure he puts on the QB.

There's a guy on YouTube saying give up a second rounder plus Van Ness for Parsons ........ Duh. Obviously you do that, maybe even one first rounder since the Packers have the money/cap space to pay the guy. Just the same, I very much doubt it happens. Jerry Jones just ain't gonna give him up for something like that.

[MadScientist]

That trade would obviously be worth it. Other reports are saying that Dalas wants a Hershel Walker type package. Fuck that. Just wait on this one. If the Cowboys can't come to an agreement with Parsons, then the price should come down to something reasonable. If not, let some other team do something stupid, or let Parsons enjoy retirement.

I actually think Jerry Jones is doing such an incredible job with the Cowboys that he should be allowed to purchase the Vikings and Lions as well.

I heard he secretly owns the Browns.

Smoke and mirrors. The Packers are not going to give up this many picks for Parsons.

[jklowan]

I think I'd prefer Trey Hendrickson, would cost a lot less, maybe a 2nd & 3rd and give us similar results

[The Shadow]

I would not gamble the future for Parsons. One ACL tear away from disaster.

[Patler]

Is Parsons a once-in-a-generation special talent, or just one of the really good players of his time? Does he transform a defense by his mere presence? Two first, and a..., and a... is what is given for QBs, the only position that can't be compensated for long term if you don't have a good one, or a truly special player. I'm not sure Parsons is that.

Something less than the rumored offers, sure.

[Patler]

Would you trade Gary and a 1st round pick for Parsons?

Yes. Add in Cletitus Clark, too, and I reckon, no stinking “cap hell” making Parsons the highest paid non rock thrower in the NFL.

With Parsons, and assuming The Lovemaker continues to improve, the Packers would be picking in the late 20’s year after year.

Other than Butte, name one other pick the Packers picked in the 20’s - Wolf era to present - who turned out to be a “franchise” player. The math says any 20’s pick sacrificed for Parsons ain’t likely gonna be the franchise player Parsona is.

Would you trade Gary and a 1st round pick for Parsons?

Depending on his contract demands, absolutely. Gary is a good edge. Parsons is a top 3-5 at the position. Gary is already being paid and almost out of guaranteed money. Giving a 1 for a major upgrade makes sense.

[run pMc]

Gary and a 1st... and then you have to sign him to a long term contract.
I would expect some of Gary's bonus money would accelerate onto the cap as well.

I would not give up much in picks for the pleasure of signing a player to their second (and likely highest priced) contract. You're almost certainly overpaying.

Parsons is a good player, but he didn't exactly have a big impact against GB in the playoffs when the game mattered. I'm not sure if he's prime-Nick Bosa or *.J. Watt.

I'd pass unless you could get him for a relatively low price.
Besides, Jerrah is eventually going to pay the man. He's done this with Dak, CeeDee, et al. It's his senile way of doing things. It gets more press because it's the Cowpokes and Jerrah does nothing but fan the flames.

Also - no to Hendrickson. That dude is 30 and at that age you'll get maybe 1-2 good years out of him and that's it. He's trying to renegotiate an extension he already got that he feels he's outperformed.

Giving up a R1 pick is a cheap cost controlled contract for 4-5 years. That has a lot of value when you have a $50M QB eating up a chunk of your cap, and a bunch of players hitting FA at the end of the season.

[texaspackerbacker]

Today's game demonstrated that the Packers are loaded with pass rush talent already. A Parsons trade certainly doesn't need to be made. As I said, he's good but not that super enough to justify what is being talked about. And as somebody else said, he would always be one injury away from such a trade being a colossal waste.

This sorta reminds me of all the idiotic media generated crap about Giannis and the Bucks - minus the remarkable loyalty of Giannis, of course.

The bottom line, though, of this Parsons thing is that despite the stupid disrespect Jerry Jones gets from some know nothings in here, he's done as good a GM job over the years as any non-owner GM, and he's highly likely to find a way to retain Parsons.
