I was so wrong about this one. I thought it was a bad idea that wouldn't happen. To be fair, I figured we'd have to give up more to get him. And that is a big contract. Plus they killed Kenny!
But Parsons is a 26 year old Unicorn who might be entering his prime. That's what I missed. Props to Gutey and Policy for having the nads to do it.
For whatever it's worth, you weren't alone in dismissing the notion outright. I first raised the possibility back in early March, and you can see for yourself how many reasons people manufactured as to why it could never happen: https://x.com/by_JBH/status/1898778389278028114
I don't mean any of this as a "dunk" on any of them. I fully understand why the idea of landing Micah Parsons at this stage of his career seemed unfathomable to so many people, until it actually happened.
i normally hate Jon Horst 'Go FOR BROKE" deals - but this is one that makes sense- we're getting a 26yr old in his prime not a 34 yr old PG. and draft value isnt 5-7 yrs out- its visible. if they get 5 yrs of AP Micah and a SB this will obv be another legendary Def Add for the pack...
