**Parsons Arrives in Green Bay, Ready to Meet High Expectations After Blockbuster Trade**

**GREEN BAY, WI** – After a tumultuous offseason and a stunning trade, Micah Parsons has officially arrived in Green Bay, ready to begin his career as a Packer. Traded from the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday in exchange for Kenny Clark and two future first-round picks, Parsons addressed the media on Friday, acknowledging the pressure that comes with his new four-year, $188 million contract, which makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL.

“There is a lot of expectations, and I’d be a fool to not think that there isn’t expectations or there isn’t pressure,” Parsons admitted. “But that’s a blessing in itself, that means that they believe in me that much.”

Parsons, a Pro Bowler in all four of his seasons with Dallas, described the last four months as the “hardest” of his life, citing a difficult contract negotiation with the Cowboys. He confirmed he learned of the trade through his agent and that his back is healthy, putting to rest concerns stemming from his training camp hold-in.

While admitting he never expected to be traded, Parsons expressed excitement about joining the Packers and their rich history. He will wear No. 1, a number previously worn by Packers legend Curly Lambeau, though he may need to adjust it due to league rules based on his position.

Looking ahead, Parsons is focused on winning games and proving the Packers were right to invest in him. He’s already eyeing a Week 4 matchup against his former team, the Cowboys, but insists his immediate focus is on the Detroit Lions and the upcoming season. The Packers acquired Micah Parsons amid a flurry of other news including:

* DaRon Bland signs 4 year $92 million contract extension with Dallas Cowboys
* Jets running back Braelon Allen is going into the campaign ahead looking to prove he’s capable of more.
* Marquez Valdes-Scantling explained why he signed with 49ers over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
