The Dallas Cowboys sent shockwaves through the NFL world on Thursday when it was announced that perennial All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons was being shipped off to the Green Bay Packers.

Parsons gets a fresh start and his big payday in Green Bay, while the Cowboys landed assets to help build for the future.

Dallas received two first-round NFL Draft picks and the services of three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark, who can start immediately, in exchange for Parsons.

Cowboys Nation now has to welcome Clark with open arms and hope that he can step into the interior defensive line and do what Mazi Smith has failed to do for the unit since he was selected in the first round.

While we have to see how Clark performs in Dallas, it didn't take long to know that he is excited to be here. Clark took to social media to share a photo of himself on his jet to Big D and he was all smiles.
