The Dallas Cowboys have traded superstar edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers after a protracted contract standoff.

Green Bay will be sending two first-round picks to Dallas in exchange for the 26-year-old two-time All-Pro. The Packers have also agreed to a four-year, $188 million contract with Parsons that includes $136 million in guaranteed money. The new deal’s average annual value of $47 million is the most ever for a non-quarterback in NFL history.
