The biggest non-quarterback contract in NFL history and the kind of financial commitment that reshaped the league\u2019s defensive landscape didn\u2019t result from any calculating general manager\u2019s mistake \u2014 but rather from an unintentional jinx laid down by a seven-time wrestling world champion.<\/p>\n<p>WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker confessed on Nov. 19 that he was directly responsible for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/08\/28\/2026-dallas-cowboys-mock-draft-following-micah-parsons-trade\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">August 2025 trade that sent Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys to the Green Bay Packers<\/a>. The shocking trade news shattered the Cowboys\u2019 defensive hopes, and the entire tragedy can be traced back to Parsons\u2019 appearance on The Undertaker\u2019s own show, the \u201cSix Feet Under with The Undertaker\u201d podcast, in July \u2014 just weeks before the trade announcement.<\/p>\n<h2>The Undertaker Says Haunted Interview Led to Micah Parsons\u2019 Packers Move<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_248938\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-248938\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-248938\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"dallas and green bay\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/09\/USATSI_27198939_168400545_lowres.jpg 1713w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-248938\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sep 28, 2025; Arlington, Texas, USA; Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons (1) and Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (7) exchange jerseys after the game at AT&amp;T Stadium.

And it was a it was a really relaxed interview, and you can tell, I mean, I don&#8217;t know how he got my cap on, but yeah, it was a shocker, and like all my buddies that are Cowboy fans, they&#8217;ve kind of christened me that I truly am the Undertaker between Jinx and Micah Parsons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m not sure that I&#8217;m welcomed on the UT&#8217;s campus either,\u201d he added. \u201cEvery time I do a hype video for them, they lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;I truly am The Undertaker&#8230; jinxing Micah Parsons&quot; \ud83d\ude02<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/undertaker?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@undertaker<\/a>&#39;s reaction to the Micah Parsons trade <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fqUqfV27ou\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/fqUqfV27ou<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Good Morning Football (@gmfb) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/gmfb\/status\/1991145527623422169?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Undertaker believes it was that confident energy from Parsons that paved the way for the inevitable end of his time in a Cowboys uniform.<\/p>\n<p>Why was this jinx even necessary? There had to be some reason behind this generational talent\u2019s sudden exit from Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys sent their defensive superstar to Green Bay and, in return for the massive organizational shift, received two future first-round draft picks (for 2026 and 2027) and veteran defensive tackle Kenny Clark. The deal created a foundational hole in Dallas\u2019s defense \u2014 but also netted them vital long-term assets for the future.<\/p>\n<h3>Fans Reacted to Parsons Playing for the NFC North<\/h3>\n<p>Parsons signed a four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers, including $120 million fully guaranteed and $136 million in total guarantees. Now playing for the NFC North powerhouse, Parsons has been living up to the massive investment: in the current season, he\u2019s posted 8 sacks, 17 QB hits, and 57 QB pressures \u2014 proving that the talent stayed, even if the address changed.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons\u2019 stellar production remains a hot topic across sports media.
