That's not all ... as a "thank you" for agreeing to sign a huge deal with the Pack, Butler even offered up his old No. 36, as Parsons' No. 11 is currently owned by Jayden Reed.
Even if Parsons doesn't meet up with Butler before he officially dons the green and gold ... the Hall of Fame safety made it clear he's expecting huge things from the linebacker regardless.
He told us Parsons will "elevate everybody's game," and make them an immediate Super Bowl contender as well.
"He's our Reggie White," Butler said. "He's our Brett Favre. He's our Charles Woodson. Those guys, when they came in, they all won a Super Bowl."
As for the hefty price it cost to get Micah -- two first-round picks, defensive lineman Kenny Clark and an average annual salary of $47 million -- Butler told us he doesn't think his ex-squad gave up too much by any means.
"Micah Parsons is better than the bottom half of quarterbacks in this league," he said. "That's why it was no problem giving him that."
Butler also offered up a gift for the Cowboys -- some of his Leap Vodka to help with the pain of losing one of the best defenders in the NFL!
