Micah Parsons has requested a trade from Dallas as contract talks stall, and the Cowboys are listening to offers. Five cap-rich fits are highlighted: New England, Los Angeles, Green Bay, Las Vegas and Arizona.

Parsons’ production is elite—12+ sacks in four straight seasons and 330 QB pressures since 2021, tied with Crosby—making any destination fantasy gold, though a post-trade re-sign is plausible.

Targets include Barmore (NE), Love (GB), Crosby (LV), Mack (LAC), Campbell (ARI), Garrett (CLE).

Jordan Love carries a brace on his surgically repaired left thumb and is handoffs-only with the right, yet he expects no limitations for Week 1 against Detroit. The brace will stay for weeks as he learns in live action, with a simulated game the closest he’s had to real NFL reps. He stressed stability and strength were the core reasons for surgery, not a lingering limp. Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks returned from injuries, adding depth for Love, while Nate Hobbs’ knee surgery clouds Week 1 availability. Packers brass stressed trust in Love’s readiness as center reps increase.

LaFleur ran a near-game simulation and noted Love’s growth as he progresses from 11-on-11 to live snaps. Gutekunst underscored faith in the receiving group and in Love’s ability to protect the ball and execute, even with a brace. Hobbs’ status remains a separate note for the defense, as Green Bay prepares for a season-opening challenge.

Dallas Cowboys contract drama with Micah Parsons shifts gears again as teams reportedly call about a trade and Dallas tests offers ahead of their season opener with Philadelphia. The clock ticks as insiders suggest a near-resolution goal, but the possibility of moving Parsons or reshuffling the defense adds real uncertainty for fantasy managers. Dallas’ latest stance keeps the door open to multiple outcomes while the Eagles loom in Week 1, making every practice rep under the microscope for IDP value.

With the soap opera intensifying, fantasy players must weigh Parsons’ elite production against the odds of a mid-season change. If Parsons stays and remains the focal edge rusher, his fantasy floor remains elite; if traded or limited by a holdout, DAL replacements and defensive schemes could shift, creating both risk and upside for opportunistic owners.

Brad Holmes left a Za'Darius Smith reunion-wide door, stressing the one open Lions roster spot is about flexibility, not a guarantee. Detroit added Tyrus Wheat to bolster edge depth as Josh Paschal and Ahmed Hassanein recover. With Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport and Al-Quadin Muhammad in the mix, the Lions will evaluate talent and fit as the season nears, keeping trades and claims on the table.
