I look at this trade as similar to us signing Khalil Mack and that didn’t turn out great, i.e., multiple super bowls and affected our cap with lots of dead cap money. 

I am reasonably happy with our roster and as others have stated, our season depends on whether Caleb Williams is what we hope he is, if not, signing Parsons would have no impact on our chances of reaching a superbowl. 

FWIW Im not even saying here that we should have traded for Parsons. The trade price was steep, and he is injured. There are good points on both sides of that.

All Im really saying is that *IF* the right player is available, you can find more cap room by doing things (like restructuring contracts) than it currently shows we have on spotrac or overthecap.

Im saying you can't just look at those numbers and calculate how much cap is available.

But trading for Parsons has a lot more detail that is debatable than simply whether the cap space could exist, which is the only point Im making.

you thin skinned moron.

Im sorry you cry about possible 2026 trades, but thats life snowflake.

try to focus on football Im tired of your whining about how I construct sentences, word usage, proper grammar. From now on I will no longer get sucked into your pettiness . I will only be addressing football subjects. I have repeated many times about letting the season dictate what happens next year.

We are on the verge of having something real good here and people want to talk about getting rid of people. Let the season play out and it will be clear at the end of the year what is next. 

I assure you Ryan Poles is 100% planning for the future.  It was abundantly clear in draft picks like Trapilo Burden Newman. His job is to restock the roster with good young talent that is cheap.  No reason we can’t speculate how that might play out over the next year or two.  
 

To put it another way:  I want to see Burden become so good this year that DJ Moore is WR3 next year.

I’m watching the Cowboys Eagles game and I just realized that Eberflus took the Dallas DC job expecting to have Micah Parsons but instead has to replace him with Jack Sanborn.

I realized Sanborn was starting and was happy for him. I liked him its just DA loves speed and that's the only thing he didnt have.

Micah causing chaos...

.Lions definitely doesnt look like the same team without BJ and Glenn.

For the highest paid non-QB, I didn't think he looked that good. Compare that game to what Mack looked like in 2018. Parsons had a garbage time sack on a drive that the Lions scored a TD on, so it was pretty non-consequential.

I tackle, one sack, not sure how many pressures he had but played limited snaps because of back issues. It seems to always be problems when its the back. Long term I dont think it works out for the Packers.

He had 30 snaps. Van Ness had 36.

He also had a couple of pressures.  It wasn't a Mack game, but he definitely put her fuel in their pass rush.

For sure everyone paid attention to him.
