Parsons’ holdout ends with a blockbuster trade that ships him from Dallas to Green Bay, a move that instantly reshapes the NFC edge-rush landscape. Baltimore’s defense remains formidable, but Bleacher Report still elevates them as the era’s premier unit, thanks to a stifling secondary and a flexible front. Alexander’s arrival boosts Green Bay’s cover corner room, while Humphrey, Hamilton, Wiggins and Starks give Baltimore a versatile, long-term backbone. Roquan Smith anchors the middle, with Oweh and Van Noy providing veteran pressure, and Gary joining the Packers’ new-look defense. The result: fantasy sleuths should recalibrate pass rush and secondary upside for both squads as Week 1 approaches.

Packers still carry a top-five preseason badge, but Green Bay’s corner depth remains a talking point. Baltimore’s defense, bolstered by a dynamic safety duo and a reloaded secondary, looks poised to smother offenses across 2025. The transfer shakes up expectations for fantasy defenses and edge players, while Packers and Ravens fans alike anticipate a season where elite schematics meet elite talent at every level.
