Micah Parsons is a really happy man tonight.
After a summer full of controversy and back-and-forth with the Dallas Cowboys over a contract dispute, Micah Parsons is happy to be in Green Bay with the Packers.
After Sunday’s debut against the Detroit Lions, the edge rusher who played 29 of 65 snaps and recorded a sack, sounded grateful to be in Green Bay and away from Dallas.
“I’m telling you these last six months was super draining, super toxic for everyone,” Parsons said, via video from Matt Schneidman of TheAthletic.com. “It’s something that I don’t think no player should have to go through. I think players’ fates should be decided earlier. I think the fact that I was traded a week before the season was really outrageous and rough. It’s something where I could’ve been with these guys getting better and better and we could’ve had probably [an] even more dominant start if that was the decision we were going to make. I’m just happy that’s behind.
“These guys embraced me. They believe in my talents. They believed in me, and I’m just going to give these guys everything I have because I know what’s at stake and I know what they gave up for me to be here, and I’m going to do what it takes for us to win.”
