The Dallas Cowboys trading EDGE Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers on Thursday shocked many throughout the NFL, but not quarterback Dak Prescott.
In a Sunday news conference, Prescott explained he sensed Parsons’ relationship with the team was souring amid a tense contract dispute.
Before being traded, Parsons was set to play on the fifth-year option of his rookie contract and was seeking an extension from Dallas. He has since signed a four-year, $186M contract with Green Bay.
“I definitely didn’t think he was going to get traded,” Prescott said, via The Athletic’s Jon Machota. “But just with the way their negotiations went down, obviously to some extent, hell, [the media was] asking me questions, it seemed like it got personal on their ends, so that’s why I wasn’t surprised.”
