Eagles Star Admits Breathing 'Sigh of Relief' After Shocking Micah Parsons Trade From Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles captain Jordan Mailata did not hesitate to accept that the Micah Parsons trade removed a huge load off his shoulders.

The Eagles arent the only ones.

Parsons made a name for himself as a disruptor after entering the NFL.

Despite lacking the height and strength of a traditional linebacker, Parsons made plays using his nimble feet and the ability to make changes according to the oppositions scheme.

All-Pro offensive tackle Jordan Mailata faced Parsons on multiple occasions.

He confessed that the Eagles always concocted a different plan to keep a leash on the 26-year-old.

Mailata and his fellow offensive linemen breathed a sigh of relief because they no longer have to face Parsons twice a year.

Its just kind of crazy...

The last four or five years weve played the Dallas Cowboys, weve come up with a game plan [for him] because Micahs a game wrecker .

Jordan Mailata said (H/T: Todd Archer of ESPN) Parsons trade is a boon in disguise for the Eagles, but Mailata isnt ready to take the Cowboys defense lightly.

That is a talented D-line and a talented defense, so you have to treat them with the same respect with or without Micah Parsons .

The departure of Micah Parsons is a sigh of relief, Eagles LT Jordan Mailata acknowledged, but said the Cowboys still have plenty of talent of defense.

In reality, the All-Pro pass rusher had a 3-4 record against their NFC East rivals.

He only managed 5 sacks against the Birds.

Parsons fared better against the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants , racking up a 6-2 and 8-0 record, respectively.

He sacked Commanders quarterbacks 15 times compared to the Giants 13.

[Micah Parsons is] a dynamic player; [the Cowboys] drafted him for a reason, and now obviously the Packers made a trade for him for a reason.

Hes been one of the most disruptive players since he stepped into the NFL, and we expect that to continue.

One of the best competitors Ive ever been around, and Im just happy for his family .

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur echoed the same sentiment.

Whatever it is youre playing, hes going to want to win.

I dont think hes very apologetic about that, which is so exciting as a coach to get a guy like that.

I think that just elevates everybody around him .

Matt LaFleur said The Packers ranked fourth in takeaways last season.

With Parsons inclusion, Packers fans should expect that stat to improve even further in 2025.

Parsons will debut his #1 jersey on day one as the Packers host rivals, the Detroit Lions , at Lambeau Field.

The Packers are 1.5-point favorites over the Lions as per BetMGM and AZCentral .

Although the Packers have historically dominated the Lions 78-106-7, the team from Detroit did the double over their rivals from Green Bay.

In the last fixture, Packers QB Jordan Love threw 12 completions for 206 yards and one touchdown, while the Lions Jared Goff had 32 completions for 283 yards, 3 touchdowns, and one interception..
