"Over the last few years in the NFL, there have a shockingly high number of blockbuster trades seeing superstar players be shipped to new teams despite how valuable they had been to their longtime home. That continued last week when the Cowboys unexpectedly traded two-time Pro Bowl pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Packers in a move that most believed would never happen."
"But they were reportedly not among the teams Dallas had extensive conversations with, despite the seemingly doable price of just two future first-round picks and a top player. The immediate reaction from Patriots fans was mixed, with some feeling it was a missed opportunity to add a Hall of Fame-caliber player to their roster, while others were pleased that Mike Vrabel and Co. didn't forfeit valuable draft capital for Parsons."

Patriots fans reacted with mixed feelings, torn between regret over a missed Hall of Fame-caliber addition and relief at preserving valuable draft capital. Insiders reported Parsons was viewed poorly by some Cowboys teammates, a factor that may have motivated Dallas' willingness to trade him.
