The Dallas Cowboys' star pass rusher Micah Parsons has been traded to NFC rivals the Green Bay Packers, ending an offseason stand-off between player and franchise.
The Packers will send two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to Dallas in the blockbuster move, according to NFL Network.
As for the disgruntled Parsons, the stare-down with Jones over his contract ends with him receiving a four-year, $188 million extension that includes $136 million guaranteed, the reports said.
The star defensive end took to X to say playing for the Cowboys was "more than a dream, it was destiny".
He went on to thank the Cowboys fans before he departs to add a superstar edge to the Packers' already Super Bowl calibre roster.
Parsons will visit Dallas in a Green Bay uniform when the Packers play the Cowboys in week 4.
The move comes just one week after Cowboys owner Jerry Jones labelled trade talk around his All-Pro pass-rusher "pure B.S."
However, it emerged on Thursday that the Cowboys were finally willing to listen to trade offers for Parsons, with several teams having reached out.
