The Dallas Cowboys and Micah Parsons finally found a way to end their long and dramatic contract dispute.

However, it wasn't the way any fan or media member truly expected. The Cowboys shipped Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers, and the front office made it clear in Thursday night's press conference that it is time to move on.

If you're the kind of fan who likes to keep things positive, then the team adding defensive tackle Kenny Clark should get you excited.

Clark was one of the best defensive tackles in the league this past season, and he now joins a team desperate in finding someone to help stop that run.
