Micah Parsons sends heartfelt messages to former Cowboys teammates after trade

Now with the Green Bay Packers, Micah Parsons has made it clear it how much his time with the Dallas Cowboys meant to him.

During his introductory press conference with the Packers media on Friday following the blockbuster trade, Parsons admitted he's going to miss the close relationships he's had with his teammates, pointing out cornerback Trevon Diggs in particular.

"I'm gonna miss my dog '7'," Parsons said of Diggs. "That's like a brother to me. There's a lot of people that I got close relationships with over there, and I'm gonna miss them regardless."

However, he also mentioned his ties with linebacker DeMarvion Overshown, who Parsons admitted has inspired him amid his lengthy injury recovery.

"I told Overshown this, you don't realize the impact people have when you see their determination, their resilience, the 'keep getting back up' factors,'" Parsons said. "And these are two guys (Diggs) who had knee injuries, and I saw that they just worked so hard, and you just want to pour back into them."

Parsons added that he wishes "thing didn't have to be like this," but he's now opponents with his former teammates and friends.

"So I wish things didn't have to be like this, but you know, I'm happy for this opportunity," he said. "I'm happy to be here, and I'm ready to win some games."
