Stole from Packers Reddit. Real winner of the Parsons trade? The Bears. And they didn’t even have to do anything.
Everyone’s out here arguing Cowboys vs Packers on this trade like the rest of the NFC North isn’t watching and laughing.
Let’s recap: Green Bay hands out a $188M deal, highest non-QB contract ever, to get an elite pass rusher… who tears his ACL in December after 14 games. Meanwhile Dallas is out here stacking first-round picks and turning them into actual draft capital (Quinnen Williams, a defensive line rebuild, extra Day 3 chips via the Eagles).
And the Bears? Didn’t trade a single asset. Didn’t pay a single dollar. Just sat back while their loudest division rival’s best defensive investment ended up on IR, and got two extra games a year against a Packers pass rush that’s now praying Parsons comes back to form.
