And just like that, Kenny Clark’s time with the Green Bay Packers is over. Clark is now with the Dallas Cowboys, where he will continue his journey in the NFL. Clark was part of the shocking trade that sent superstar pass rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay. In exchange, the Packers gave up Clark and first-round picks in 2026 and 2027.
It will be Clark’s first time in the pros playing for a team other than the Packers, who selected him in the first round (27th overall) of the 2016 NFL draft.
Clark will surely be missed by Green Bay fans and, of course, by his teammates.

Following the Parsons trade, Packers quarterback Jordan Love hopped on social media to share a couple of Instagram Story posts. The first one was a fire-emoji post that shows an edited image of Parsons in a Packers uniform. The next one was a caption-less repost of Green Bay general managerBrian Gutekunst’s farewell message for Clark.
“Kenny will be greatly missed, and we wish him and his family nothing but the best in the future,” Gutekunst’s message read.

While it hurts for the Packers and their fans to see Clark go, given his long tenure in Green Bay, it was a no-brainer for the team to give him up for Parsons, who is a young and devastatingly talented linebacker, who might not have even reached his peak form yet in the NFL.
Clark leaves the Packers with 35.0 sacks through 140 games (126 starts) played with Green Bay.
