Here's more on Parsons' number and why he may have to switch things up in Green Bay.
Micah Parsons jersey number with Packers: Will Jayden Reed give up No. 11 after Cowboys trade? originally appeared on The Sporting News
In professional sports, major trades often take time to get used to.
After four seasons in Dallas, three-time All-Pro EDGE Micah Parsons is set to begin the next stage of his career with the Packers. And while fans got their first glimpse of Parsons in Green Bay's green and gold through some sharp jersey swaps, the expert Photoshop work may not have painted a perfect picture of the star's new look.
Since ascending to stardom at Penn State, Parsons has donned No. 11. And while most Packers jersey swaps feature Parsons in his signature number, he may have to begin his new era with new digits on his jersey.

Micah Parsons jersey number with Packers
Parsons' jersey number with the Packers has not been decided. Third-year wide receiver Jayden Reed currently wears No. 11 for Green Bay, meaning Parsons' signature number is currently unavailable.
Notably, the official announcement from the franchise features a photo in which no number can be seen.

Jersey number swaps and transactions are common in the NFL. Reed could gift No. 11 to Parsons, or the two could work out a deal if Parsons is intent on keeping his number.
There's also a timeline in which Reed elects to keep No. 11, leaving Parsons to select new digits.
Parsons has worn No. 11 for the past several years of his career, but he wore No. 23 on the gridiron as well as the hardwood while starring at Harrisburg High School in Pennsylvania. Under the NFL jersey number rules adopted in 2023, Parsons could wear No. 23, which is available in Green Bay.
Conversely, Reed wore No. 1 during his time at Michigan State, and that number is also available with the Packers.
