After a tumultuous training camp bled into a heated preseason, the Dallas Cowboys have dealt away star defender Micah Parsons<\/a> to the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n

See how our SportsDay columnists and Cowboys beat writers grade the blockbuster move below.<\/p>\n

Tim Cowlishaw<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t expect the trade of this superstar to do anything like the Herschel Walker deal did<\/a> 36 years ago. The Cowboys didn\u2019t get a haul, but this should help rebuild the roster of a team that is less of a contender than it thinks.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> should fill a need in the short term.<\/p>\n

Grade: D<\/b><\/p>\n

Kevin Sherrington<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

You just don\u2019t trade talented players away. It\u2019s 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\u2019t make sense.<\/p>\n
