Ruthie Polinsky, Clay Harbor, and David Haugh are joined by ESPN’s Courtney Cronin on The Big Pro Football Show to react to a stunner in the NFC North: the Green Bay Packers have acquired Micah Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for two first-round picks and DT Kenny Clark, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. After breaking down what this blockbuster means for the Bears and the division, we turn to our planned episode with Alex Shapiro, Ruthie, and Clay to tackle the Bears’ biggest questions — health concerns on defense, the uncertainty at left tackle, and which players they expect to emerge as leaders in the 2025 campaign.
