On Tuesday, former Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn ignited a firestorm of speculation within the Green Bay fan base about a potential Micah Parsons trade.
At 10:55 p.m. ET, Kuhn – who currently works as an analyst for the Packers TV Network – took to X (formerly Twitter) to post a simple, three-word message.
‘Micah Freaking Parsons,’ the post read.
Kuhn did not provide any additional context with his post. Nonetheless, it quickly circulated on social media, garnering 1.5 million views in just over 10 hours from Packers fans hoping Kuhn’s message was a hint about a potential Parsons trade.
Parsons requested a trade away from the Cowboys on Aug. 1 amid a contract dispute. He hasn’t practiced during the summer, amid a hold-in and a minor back injury, and found himself in hot water after briefly lying on a training table during an offensive drive in Dallas’ Week 3 preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Jerry Jones and the Cowboys brass have remained adamant they will not trade Parsons even if they can’t sign him to a lucrative extension.
That still hasn’t stopped NFL fans from speculating about a deal; and even NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport noted the Packers could be a sensible landing spot for Parsons if he and the Cowboys can’t bridge the gap in their impasse.
But Rapoport also made it clear the Packers wouldn’t be the only potential contender to hold an interest in acquiring Parsons if the Cowboys do make him available.
‘Think of all the really good teams, playoff teams, who have money and a spot,’ Rapoport said. ‘There’s a lot of them. Those are the teams that would be interested. All of them.’
