Micah Parsons gave his honest evaluation ahead of the Green Bay Packers' upcoming matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9 of the 2025 NFL season.

Parsons has been adapting well in his new surroundings with the Packers. He joined them after the Dallas Cowboys traded him there this past offseason, indicating a new chapter for his career.

Green Bay has been successful on the defensive side of the ball, especially with Parsons' services. They are firmly in the NFC playoff picture, making noise as a potential Super Bowl contender.

The Packers are gearing up for their next matchup against Carolina, a team that can pull off upsets against opponents who don't have the right preparation. Parsons is well aware of this, giving a warning to his squad about not taking the Panthers lightly, per reporter Matt Schneidman.

“This team is a very good team. I wouldn’t consider this a trap game even with Philly next week,” Parsons said.
