The Green Bay Packers pulled off the ultimate power move.
They traded for Micah Parsons, and while they had to pay a steep price, both in terms of draft capital and contract money, it might all be worth it.
Despite sitting out all of training camp with the Dallas Cowboys, the All-Pro edge rusher could take the field as early as Week 1.
“I would be surprised if Micah Parsons isn’t out there this Sunday for the Packers. I would guess that he’s gonna be out there,” ESPN insider Adam Schefter said.

Parsons said he was dealing with a back injury, but the Cowboys claimed he was healthy enough to practice yet chose not to as he sought a lucrative contract extension that did not seem to be coming.
Owner Jerry Jones took several shots at Parsons and his agent, and while that approach worked for him in the past, this time the player wasn’t willing to look the other way.
Now, he’s expected to anchor a Packers defense that’s full of talent and took a massive leap in its first year under coordinator Jeff Hafley.
Green Bay still might need some help at cornerback, but its pass rush could be one of the best in the league.
If quarterback Jordan Love plays up to expectations, there’s no reason to believe the Packers won’t be a serious Super Bowl contender.
After giving up two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark in the trade, they would certainly love to see Parsons ramp things up and take the field for the opener against the rival Detroit Lions.
