Summary

Ruthie Polinsky, Clay Harbor, and David Haugh are joined by ESPN’s Courtney Cronin on The Big Pro Football Show to react to a stunner in the NFC North: the Green Bay Packers have acquired Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for two first-round picks and DT Kenny Clark, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. After breaking down what this blockbuster means for the Bears and the division, we turn to our planned episode with Alex Shapiro, Ruthie, and Clay to tackle the Bears’ biggest questions — health concerns on defense, the uncertainty at left tackle, and which players they expect to emerge as leaders in the 2025 campaign.

David Haw, Clay Harbor, and what a lucky day to have ESPN's Courtney Cronin here with us,

as we didn't know this news is going to break today, Courtney,

and react to this massive blockbuster news. What an afternoon. And to think the Packers now have

the best player in football, potentially on the defensive side of the ball, I think that you could

make that case for Micah Parsons, for Trey Hendrickson, for any of the sack leaders, but holy

come out from Adam Schaefter that it is Micah Parsons moving away from Dallas. You don't trade

players of his caliber. Jerry's done it one other time in the time that he's owned the Dallas Cowboys and to see

It reshapes the conversation of Super Bowl favorites and certainly reshapes what Green Bay's trajectory is this year.

The Packers are going for. This is the biggest move they've made since Reggie White over 30 years ago. And guess who just took the north? This is the way they're thinking in Green Bay because you look at what they're getting in Michael Parsons. Rarely do you see a player entering his prime, one of the best players in football. I'd say you go top three conservatively, and he is that guy. And now the Packers
