A very similar trade happened on the eve of the 2018 season when the Oakland Raiders shipped two-time All-Pro and one-time Defensive Player of the Year winner Khalil Mack to Chicago.

Micah Parsons, the best Cowboys pass rusher in over a decade was unceremoniously jettisoned from the franchise, shipped to the Packers for two first round picks and DT Kenny Clark.

"This gives us a chance to be a better team than we’ve had the last several years," Jones said with his son, CEO and director of player personnel Stephen Jones, sitting on his right.
