Thursday’s Sports: Micah Parsons Traded to Packers, Nebraska’s Struggles & Schwarber Hit 4 Homers

Micah Parsons Blockbuster Sports Trade Rocks the NFL

In a seismic sports move, Micah Parsons was traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers, ending his hold-in and contract saga. Dallas received two first-round picks (2026 and 2027) along with 3 time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Parsons was excited about the four-year, $188 million deal – the most lucrative ever for a non-quarterback. This trade shakes up the NFC and caps a contentious offseason drama. He now will earn $47M per year when his extension kicks in next year, which would be the equivalent to the Cowboys signing him for just over $43.4M per year after the state income taxes.

Nebraska Woes vs. Cincinnati Despite Win

Nebraska narrowly escaped with a 20–17 win over Cincinnati, courtesy of a late interception in a nationally watched opener at Arrowhead Stadium. Despite the victory, the Cornhuskers’ offense looked sluggish, and their run defense struggled, allowing 7 yards per carry and only 69 passing yards with 34 of those coming on the final drive by the Bearcats. This was far from ideal for Matt Rhule’s program as they look to rebound in Year 3.

Kyle Schwarber Joins Elite 4-HR Club

In an offensive explosion, Kyle Schwarber drilled four home runs in the Phillies’ 19–4 rout of the Braves—becoming the 21st player in MLB history to accomplish the rare feat and notching nine RBIs. This marks the third four-homer game of the 2025 season, putting Schwarber alongside Eugenio Suárez and Nick Kurtz—an MLB unpredictable three such performances in a single year.
