The Shocking Swap: Why the Cowboys Traded Micah Parsons for Packers’ Kenny Clark

Since then, he has been as solid as they come for the Green Bay defense, playing at least 13 games in every season of his nine-year career and not missing a game since Week 15 of the 2021 season. Over that time he has earned three Pro Bowl nods while accruing 417 career total tackles.Those questions should be answered in time, but for now, the Cowboys have a new defensive lineman. At 314 pounds, Clark is not a 1-to-1 replacement for Parsons, a faster edge-rusher, but he will still face plenty of responsibilities — and scrutiny — in the middle of the Dallas defense.AdvertisementAdvertisement

Kenny Clark will be making some decent money in the next couple seasons

He has a manageable number for this year, though, with only million.“We want to thank Kenny for the incredible impact he made in the locker room, on the field and in the community during his nine seasons in Green Bay. From the time he arrived in 2016, Kenny established himself as one of the top defensive tackles in the league and in the history of this franchise with his production, durability and leadership. He had the respect of everyone in the organization and epitomized what it meant to be a Green Bay Packer. Kenny will be greatly missed, and we wish him and his family nothing but the best in the future.”
