2025 Fantasy Outlook
Parsons entered training camp patiently waiting for Jerry Jones to finally sit down and hammer out a massive contract extension, but there's some question that he'll be on the field Week 1 considering he has yet to practice and the two sides haven't made inroads on negotiations. The 26-year-old is arguably the most dangerous quarterback hunter in the league, recording at least 12.0 sacks in all four of his NFL seasons. Parsons will face a bit of a headwind from his new scheme, as defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus hasn't generally overseen dominant pass rushes, but Parsons' elite athleticism and talent are more than enough for him to make an impact in any defense.

Signed a four-year, $188 million contract extension with the Packers in August of 2025.
Deal to Green Bay complete
The Cowboys traded Parsons to the Packers for two first-round picks and defensive tackle Kenny Clark on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The ongoing saga this summer between Parsons and the Cowboys finally has reached its conclusion, with the pass rusher agreeing to a four-year, $188 million extension to take his talents to Green Bay. He's one of only two players in NFL history to rack up 12.0 sacks in each of his first four seasons as a pro, the other being former Packer Reggie White.

2021
Parsons set a new career high with 14.0 sacks last year, but he's been arguably the most consistent pass rusher in the NFL since being drafted 12th overall in 2021, producing 13.0 sacks as a rookie and 13.5 in 2022. Former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn lined him up all over the field looking for mismatches, but it's not yet clear how new DC Mike Zimmer plans to deploy Parsons, or whether the scheme change will have an impact on his numbers. The 25-year-old edge rusher's elite athleticism should allow him to thrive no matter how he's used, however.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Happy for fresh start
Parsons, who was traded from the Cowboys to the Packers on Thursday, expressed relief at having his contract situation resolved and plans to play in Week 1 against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Parsons received a four-year, $188 million contract with the Packers that includes $136 million in total guarantees, so the financial aspect certainly gave him plenty of peace of mind. However, the elite edge rusher also said in his first Packers press conference that he had been anxious about not being able to play once the regular season began. Parsons also noted the back injury he's been dealing with should be manageable and added he's going "to team up with the doctors in creating a plan" for him to get back on the field after holding in throughout the majority of Cowboys training camp.
