Micah Parsons Says Eagles Trade Was ‘Very Close,’ Contingent on Jalen Carter Staying

Green Bay ultimately landed the All-Pro after Dallas opted against sending him to Philadelphia, accepting two first-round picks and Kenny Clark.

Overview

  • Parsons said on Bleacher Report’s The Edge that he was “really about to come” to Philadelphia before the deal fell apart.
  • He added he did not want to join the Eagles if Jalen Carter was moved and implied Carter was discussed in trade talks.
  • FOX SportsJay Glazer previously reported the Eagles made the biggest offer, including at least two first-round picks, a third, and a fifth.
  • Dallas instead traded Parsons to the Packers before the 2025 season for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.
  • Philadelphia later acquired Jaelan Phillips for a third-round pick, and he now enters free agency as the team weighs its pass-rush options.
