The Green Bay Packers’ defensive lineman, Micah Parsons, cannot be traded to the Philadelphia Eagles because of a poison pill clause that was included in the deal.
Parsons was still with the Dallas Cowboys, as the deal was being discussed. The Eagles showed interest in getting Parsons.
The Cowboys ensured during the summer that Parsons would not play with the Eagles.
Under this deal, the two-time All-Pro player will be unable to play for the Eagles in the immediate future.

According to a source who spoke with ESPN, the condition states that if the Packers decide to trade Parsons to an NFC East team, then the Packers would owe the Cowboys their 2028 first-round draft pick.
The condition applies to this season and to the 2026 season. This means that the Packers are unlikely to trade Parsons to another NFC East team until 2027.
With the Packers, Parsons has 6.5 sacks in nine games this season. Parsons has 22 tackles, 11 assists, and 11 combined tackles.
The next game for the Packers will be on November 16 against the New York Giants.
