Happy Saturday, Dallas Cowboys Nation. The dust is finally settling on the Micah Parsons trade, and we’re all just going to have to accept the reality that he’s now officially a member of the Green Bay Packers.

Parsons was introduced by Green Bay on Friday night, announcing that he would be wearing No. 1, while the Cowboys also introduced their newest addition.

Dallas’ new defensive tackle Kenny Clark met with the media and fielded several questions, expressing his shock about the trade but excitement to get to work with the Cowboys. Let’s hope it all works out.

While we have to wait until Thursday for the Cowboys to kick off the regular season, there is plenty of football to hold fans over until Week 1 of the NFL season, with the first full weekend of college football coming our way today, and the schedule is loaded. Let’s sit back and enjoy the excitement as Labor Day Weekend gets underway.

While we make our way through the weekend, let’s check out some of the news and headlines we may have missed around the web.
