Packers GM Brian Gutekunst Disappointed in Micah Parsons After Spending Big to Bring Him from Dallas
Green Bay, Wisconsin – In a recent press conference at Lambeau Field, Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst openly expressed his disappointment with Micah Parsons’ performance, the defensive star he invested heavily in to help anchor Green Bay’s new era of dominance.
Parsons, once hailed as “every quarterback’s nightmare” during his time with the Dallas Cowboys, joined the Packers on a massive offseason deal that made headlines across the league. But after five weeks of play, his production has not lived up to expectations — only a few standout tackles, minimal pressure on opposing quarterbacks, and several quiet performances in key moments.
Analysts suggest that Green Bay’s defensive scheme hasn’t fully unlocked Parsons’ potential, while others note that the linebacker appears to be lacking his trademark explosiveness. Advanced metrics show a noticeable drop in his pass-rush win rate compared to his Cowboys days.
Speaking with a calm but serious tone, Gutekunst didn’t hide his frustration:
“We brought Micah here believing he would be a difference-maker. Honestly, I’m disappointed we haven’t seen that yet in the early part of the season. But I still believe — when a player like Micah finds his rhythm, he can change the entire game. I hope that starts this week against the Bengals.”
Despite the criticism, Gutekunst reaffirmed his confidence in Parsons, calling this slump a temporary adjustment period rather than a sign of long-term concern.
With the Packers entering a crucial stretch of the season, Week 6 against the Cincinnati Bengals may serve as a turning point — the perfect chance for Parsons to prove his worth and reward the faith Gutekunst has continued to place in him, even amid growing public scrutiny.
