Parsons is now the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

According to reports, Parsons and the Packers have already reached an agreement on a four-year, $180 million deal, with $120 million fully guaranteed at signing.

Last season, Parsons totaled 12 sacks and 43 tackles. By hitting the double-digit mark, Parsons joined an exclusive club of NFL legends to record at least 10 sacks in each of their first four seasons. The other three players were Pro Football Hall of Famers Dwight Freeney, Derrick Thomas, and Reggie White.

The Packers are getting a generational player, while the Cowboys have to hope they can turn their draft picks into future stars.
