Micah Parsons will become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history

Micah Parsons has been traded from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster deal one week before the start of a new NFL season.

The defensive end will sign a four-year, $188m (£139m) contract with the Packers that will make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league's history on $47m (£35m) a year, NFL Network reported.

The Cowboys will receive two first-round draft picks and three-time Pro Bowler Kenny Clark as part of the deal.

The move ends a long-running contract dispute between Parsons and Dallas, which had escalated over the summer.
