The Green Bay Packers just showed how much they believe in Jordan Love, and he knows it.
In a truly stunning move that will shake the foundations of the NFC, the Packers have traded for All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons. They will reportedly send two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Dallas Cowboys.
Love took to Instagram to post his response, and he kept it simple: Three fire emojis. That's it. He didn't need to say anything else.
Jordan Love speaks for all Packers fans with response to Micah Parsons trade
Love made it clear that he wanted Parsons in Green Bay. The two are good friends, and now they join together to make the Cowboys' lives miserable in the NFC.
Packers fans will relate to his simple Instagram post — there are no words that can capture this. Three fire emojis work just fine.
The move is shocking. Jaw-dropping. But for the Packers, it's franchise-altering. Green Bay's pass rush let it down far too often last season, but now, Parsons joins a group featuring Rashan Gary, Lukas Van Ness, talented rookie Barryn Sorrell, and Kingsley Enagbare.
The downside to this is losing Clark, a true Packers great who led this defense for years. That one will hurt the locker room, as Jayden Reed proved with his initial reaction. But the fallout is overwhelmingly positive for the Packers. Even without Clark, the Packers' front seven is officially a problem for everyone they come up against.
The Packers have gifted Love the game-changing defensive star to help bring a Lombardi Trophy to Green Bay. No wonder he is fired up.
Parsons had a front-row seat to Love's demolition of the Cowboys two years ago. Now, he gets to team with his friend and chase a Lombardi Trophy together.
They won this trade, and it's not even close. Love knows it, and he's fired up.
