Packers GM Thanks Kenny Clark as Micah Parsons Trade Rebuilds Green Bay’s Defense


Packers GM Brian Gutekunst issued a heartfelt thank-you to Kenny Clark, praising his leadership, durability, and impact over nine seasons, as Green Bay completed a blockbuster deal for Micah Parsons

The Cowboys received Clark and two first-round picks (2026, 2027), while the Packers landed Parsons and quickly agreed to an extension. The move signals an all-in push: Parsons signed a 4-year, $188M pact with $136M guaranteed, immediately turbocharging Green Bay’s pass rush and raising their ceiling this season. 

The flip side: fewer premium draft assets and tighter cap flexibility. In short, Gutekunst’s farewell to Clark underscores respect for a franchise cornerstone, and the Parsons trade reshapes the Packers’ defensive identity overnight.
