Parsons drama and his exit from Dallas dominated the offseason, but there are plenty of other notable NFL storylines to follow
RECENT newsmakers in the NFL were, clockwise from center, Green Bay's Micah Parsons, who was dealt from the Cowboys to Packers, along with Jacksonville kicker Cam Little, Kansas City's Patrick Mahomes and New England coach Mike Vrabel.
The NFL is a quarterback-driven league, but it's a quarterback hunter who made the most dramatic offseason splash.
All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, traded from Dallas to Green Bay, should command a big share of the spotlight as the NFL kicks off the 2025 season this weekend with a slew of intriguing matchups, including Parson's Packers playing host to the Detroit Lions, who have gone from league laughingstock to vogue Super Bowl pick.
Cowboys fans are still agonizing over the Parsons trade, even though their team got two first-round draft picks and Pro Bowl defensive lineman Kenny Clark in the deal, and shell-shocked quarterback Dak Prescott responded to the news with a Texas-sized understatement: "I'm not going to say we're better."
