He embraced it. He even encouraged it. " Thank you, Jerry! " the crowd at Lambeau Field yelled repeatedly Thursday night after the Green Bay Packers' 27-18 win over the Washington Commanders. The chant was addressed toward someone who was not there - Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who traded the 26-year-old star linebacker to Green Bay one week before the start of the season after a lengthy contract dispute.

Micah Parsons' blockbuster trade to the Green Bay Packers sent shockwaves through the league. The Washington Commanders were thrilled to see the All-Pro edge rusher leave the NFC East, but the move placed him in their immediate crosshairs on Thursday Night Football in Week 2.

It's why Fowler's reps diminished at the business end of the campaign and into the playoffs. Although Fowler's 10.5 sacks and 44 pressures were encouraging, his ability against the run leaves a lot to be desired. His 50.0 run defense grade from Pro Football Focus ranked 169th out of 210 qualifying edge defenders. The No.3 overall selection became a liability, and the Commanders couldn't trust him to provide the production needed.

All-Pro edge rusher Micah Parsons, traded from the Dallas to Green Bay, should command a big share of the spotlight as the NFL kicks off the 2025 season this weekend with a slew of intriguing matchups, including Parson's Packers playing host to the Detroit Lions, who have gone from league laughingstock to vogue Super Bowl pick.
