“Which One!” Packers’ Micah Parsons Asks Fans To Pick Between Two Numbers For His Jersey

The Green Bay Packers pulled off the block buster trade heard around the league.  Two first round draft picks and 29-year-old Pro-Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark went to Dallas in exchange for 26-year-old All-Pro Micah Parsons.

Wide Receiver Jayden Reed wears number 11 in Green Bay, and instead of buying it off him, Parsons asked fans to pick between two new numbers.

Micah Parsons took to Twitter (X) to ask fans what new number he should sport:

Should I go 0 or 1!

Parsons wore #11 both in college when he played for Penn State, as well as his four years in Dallas.  It will be yet another new era in Green Bay.  Fans were quick to let him know their thoughts:

In the wake of the blockbuster trade, Parsons’ brother took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to describe the unfolding of Parsons’ contact situation:

“This isn’t even what Micah wanted is the sickening part of all this he just wanted respect in the negotiation process and [Cowboys owner] Jerry [Jones] wouldn’t give it,” Terrence Parsons Jr. wrote on X. “Sad year for Dallas Micah and Luka [Doncic].”

It’s no secret that as the Parsons saga in Dallas grew further along, there were more emotions involved. Parsons brother also posted later in the day about how egos played a role in the situation.

“Just remember Micah being traded wasnt about money it was about ego that led to this lol,” Terrance Parsons wrote. “Jerry was willing to give Micah whatever he wanted aslong as it was him and Micah negotiating that’s what led to this. Insanity who gets the last laugh.?”

Parsons revealed in his initial trade request there was some truth to this. The Cowboys’ star linebacker met with Jones in March to discuss leadership and the conversation turned to contract negotiations.

Parsons engaged in the talks with Jones, but let the Cowboys’ owner know that his agent would reach out to further the contract talks and get thing completed.

“But when my agent reached out and spoke to [ESPN’s] Adam [Schefter] he was told the deal was pretty much already done,” Parson said (h/t New York Post). “My agent of course told him that wasn’t the case and also reached out to Stephen Jones. Again the team decided to go silent.”
