Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week, you’ve likely heard about the blockbuster Micah Parsons trade that sent the superstar pass rusher to Green Bay in return for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks. This trade had more to do with the contract dispute that was created by Jerry Jones and the Cowboys’ refusal to work out a contract extension with their star player (resulting in him holding out and eventually demanding a trade) than a sign that they’re willing to blow the team up and start from scratch. This gives me pause as to what the Cowboys see for their future, though, because at no point did I think the Cowboys would ever actually trade Micah, as this team, despite their struggles in the postseason, is a talented group that I assumed saw themselves as legit championship competitors, and Micah was a big part of that.
