"The previously unreported poison-pill condition states that if the Packers decide to trade Parsons to a team in the NFC East division -- the Eagles tried to trade for him last summer before being rebuffed -- then Green Bay would owe Dallas its 2028 first-round draft pick, sources involved in the trade told ESPN. The poison-pill condition also was used on Kenny Clark, the other player involved in the trade, according to sources."
"League sources said these poison-pill conditions clearly and smartly were put into place to block Parsons from winding up in Philadelphia, not far from where he grew up and one day wanted to play. The poison-pill conditions apply to this season and 2026, according to sources, meaning the Packers don't have a clear path to trade Parsons to another NFC East team until 2027 at the earliest."
Micah Parsons was traded from Dallas to Green Bay in an August blockbuster that included a little-known poison-pill condition. The condition says if the Packers trade Parsons to an NFC East team, Green Bay would owe the Cowboys its 2028 first-round pick, a provision intended to prevent Parsons from landing with the Philadelphia Eagles. A similar poison-pill was included for Kenny Clark: if the Cowboys trade Clark to an NFC North team, they would owe the Packers a 2028 first-round pick. The poison-pill conditions apply to this season and 2026, delaying any clear path for Parsons to join another NFC East team until 2027. The Packers previously used a poison-pill to deter Brett Favre from joining an NFC North rival.
