All the latest on Green Bay Packers EDGE rusher Micah Parsons including news, stats, records, history and contract.
Parsons was taken with the 12th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and has been one of the league's best defenders ever since. He's recorded at least 12 sacks and a forced fumble in every season of his career thus far, despite playing 13 games in 2024 and 14 games in 2025. He has been voted within the top-three of Defensive Player of the Year voting in four of his first five seasons in the league.
Ahead of the 2025 season, Parsons and the Cowboys were in a contract dispute that ended with a trade to Green Bay in return for Kenny Clark and two first-round picks.
In Week 15 of the regular season last year against the Denver Broncos, Parsons suffered a torn ACL in the third quarter which forced him to miss the rest of the season and puts the first few weeks of the 2026 season in doubt.
