Micah Parsons is happy to be headed to the Green Bay Packers after a shocking move by the Dallas Cowboys, and he shared his joy in an emotional moment with his mom after learning about his record-breaking contract.

After negotiations fell apart for the 4-time Pro Bowl defensive end who held out all preseason, and even went viral for laying down on a training table and appearing to take a nap in the middle of a game, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys brass made the controversial decision to trade a generational talent.

The Cowboys received two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark. Parsons is now the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history with a record-setting four-year, $188 million contract with $120 million fully guaranteed.

Parsons thanked Dallas in a video. He said, “Thank you Dallas, GO PACK GO! 🦁 🧀 🟢 🟡“

While fans were shocked, Parsons had an epic reaction running around his house in a victory lap and screaming.

With his contract, he retired his mom Sherese and they shared a touching moment of tears of joy and a long embrace, “

When he originally got his four-year, $17.08 million rookie contract, Parsons bought his mom a $1.3M home in Parker, Texas.

Now, he’s buying her a lifetime of security of never having to work again.

Such an incredible story and an emotional moment.
