Dave Portnoy names NFL team that really lost in Micah Parsons' trade to the Packers... and it's not the Cowboys

Dave Portnoy has warned the Chicago Bears that they will be the most affected by Micah Parsons' blockbuster trade to the Green Bay Packers.

The biggest saga of the NFL's offseason finally came to an end on Thursday night when Jerry Jones and the Cowboys ended their contract dispute with Parsons by sending him to Lambeau Field. 

The Packers gave up first-round picks in 2026 and 2027 along with three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark to get the two-time All-Pro edge rusher, who agreed to a contract extension with Green Bay.

Parsons was given a record-setting $188million, four-year contract that includes $136m guaranteed. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he offered Parsons more guaranteed money.

But Portnoy fears Parsons' move to the Packers, who play in the NFC North, will be a hammer blow for their divisional rivals in Chicago.

That's because Parsons has only strengthened what many to believe is already the strongest division in football with the other two teams, the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, both making the playoffs last season.

Portnoy posted on X on Thursday night: 'Fastest end of a Bears season ever?'

The Bears are entering a new era with Ben Johnson hired as the team's head coach this offseason after impressing as the offensive coordinator for the Lions.

The Bears finished 5-12 last season with No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams enduring a difficult rookie season. 

Chicago has not made the playoffs since 2020.

Parsons provides a huge boost for a franchise that has reached the playoffs five of the past six years but hasn't made it to the NFL championship game since Aaron Rodgers led them to their fourth Super Bowl title 15 years ago.

The 26-year-old Parsons has 52 1/2 sacks, recording at least 12 in each of his four seasons while making the Pro Bowl each year.

The Packers and Cowboys face off in Week 4 in Dallas.

With his move to Green Bay, Parsons becomes the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

'I never wanted this chapter to end, but not everything was in my control,' Parsons wrote in a statement he posted on X.

'My heart has always been here, and still is. Through it all, I never made any demands. I never asked for anything more than fairness. I only asked that the person I trust to negotiate my contract be part of the process.'

Jones declined to discuss Parsons' deal with agent David Mulugheta, who represents Parsons along with Andre Odom for Athletes First. Instead, Jones spoke directly to Parsons and insisted they had agreed on the parameters of a new contract.

'I really like Micah. He's a great player,' Jones said. 'There's no question I could've signed him in April. We all know to have agreements, all parties have to agree.

'I did make Micah an offer. It wasn't acceptable and I honor the fact that it wasn't done the way he wanted to do it through an agent. There's not an ounce of vindictiveness. There's no bad feelings on my part.'

Jones, who is also the Cowboys' general manager, insisted he made a deal that helps the team win now, citing the need to improve the run defense.

'We did think it was in the best interest of our organization not only for the future but for this season as well,' Jones said. 'We gained a Pro Bowl player in an area we had big concerns in, on the inside of our defense.'
