On Thursday, the Green Bay Packers sent shockwaves through the NFL as they acquired defensive star Micah Parsons.
He spent four years playing for the Dallas Cowboys, but the team traded him to the Packers in a blockbuster deal, surprising and upsetting many fans.
Soon after getting traded, he signed a lucrative four-year deal with his new team, reportedly worth $188 million.

It also raised many questions about what to expect from the Packers and Parsons now that he'll call Lambeau Field his home stadium.
However, before he even debuts, it created an important question for Parsons that required some assistance from fans.
Taking to his X account early Friday afternoon, Parsons shared a simple post about how he'll represent the Packers.
"Should I go 0 or 1!" he asked fans, regarding his new jersey number.
The defensive star wore No. 11 during his four seasons in Dallas and seems ready for a change with Green Bay.
He'll actually have to change his number to something new, due to his Packers teammate, wide receiver Jayden Reed, already wearing that number.
An X commenter mentioned, "And so 11 is staying with Jayden," adding a cheese emoji.
However, the advice on which new number to wear was varied from fans, with some still expressing disappointment, and others seeming to misunderstand the assignment.
"0 big bro you gonna look tough as hell in it. 1 looks weird on a linebacker," a commenter on X told Parsons.
"47 to remind them how much they are overpaying," another fan on X replied.
"0..... your now dead to Cowboy nation. Hope the money was worth it...," an X comment said.
Another fan on X suggested, "0 for how many super bowls your gonna get."
"1 was Curly Lambeau. He won 6 championships," Draftkings Sportsbook commented on X, adding, "Honor his legacy and go be 'The 1'."
"Depends. I'm sure someone with the team has told you that 1 was Curly Lambeau's number. I don't care if you take it, but some fans may," another comment mentioned.
Other commenters mentioned they'd prefer Parsons not take Lambeau's jersey number.
Will Parsons respect the legendary Lambeau and pass on his jersey number?
As of this report, his new number with Green Bay remains unknown. No matter what his jersey number is, many fans feel that Parsons will still be a menacing force as part of the Packers' pass rushers in the upcoming season.
