After a tumultuous training camp bled into a heated preseason, the Dallas Cowboys have dealt away star defender Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers.
See how our SportsDay columnists and Cowboys beat writers grade the blockbuster move below.

Don’t expect the trade of this superstar to do anything like the Herschel Walker deal did 36 years ago. The Cowboys didn’t get a haul, but this should help rebuild the roster of a team that is less of a contender than it thinks.

Micah Parsons is one of the most valuable players in the NFL. Losing him is a blow the Cowboys will deal with for years to come. But, hey, 29-year-old Kenny Clark should fill a need in the short term.
Grade: D
Kevin Sherrington
The Cowboys traded a generational player to a team that will now move up in class because of it, meaning those two first-round picks are closer to second-rounders. Kenny Clark better be really good.

You just don’t trade talented players away. It’s nice that you got two first-round picks and a defensive tackle with three years left on his deal, but you weaken the defense with Parsons gone. And that doesn’t make sense.
