Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has sounded more thankful than regretful about his team's decision to trade star edge rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in a blockbuster deal on Thursday.
"I think as much as anything it's good that a solution happened," Prescott told ESPN recently.
The alternative to the Cowboys and owner/general manager Jerry Jones' "solution" could have been letting Parsons' holdout continue into the start of the regular season, which begins Thursday night.
"That would have been a lot more of a headache and distraction than getting a solution to it," Prescott said.
Prescott shared that the general sense in the locker room is an understanding that the NFL is a business, and that no one is "hung up on" the decision to let Parsons go. Their attention this week has mostly been focused on preparing for the Thursday night clash with the Philadelphia Eagles to open the regular season.

JERRY JONES TRADE HISTORY: Micah Parsons is only the latest Cowboys move
The quarterback also praised Dallas' newest defensive tackle, Kenny Clark, who came to the Cowboys from Green Bay as part of the return in the Parsons trade.
Said Prescott: "I know what adding a guy like Kenny Clark, adding a true leader, a real man that's going to only elevate this team, who's been a Pro Bowl player and is excited about being here [means]."
Whether Prescott seemed to take a subtle dig at his former teammate by insinuating Parsons is neither "a true leader" nor "a real man" is up for interpretation, but the Cowboys passer may have provided more bulletin board material for the four-time Pro Bowler with his comments.
Parsons will return to Dallas later this month when the Packers take on the Cowboys on Sept. 28.
