Buffalo Bills The Bills are in Super Bowl-or-bust mode. Even with Joey Bosa now on the roster, another elite pass rusher like Parsons would add a terrifying dimension to their defense. 2. Los Angeles Chargers Khalil Mack remains productive but is nearing the end of his prime. Pairing Parsons with Tuli Tuipulotu, who recorded eight sacks last season, could supercharge Jim Harbaugh's defensive unit. 3. Seattle Seahawks With veterans like Leonard Williams and DeMarcus Lawrence aging, the Seahawks could consider going all-in for Parsons, a move that aligns with their aggressive roster strategy.

Washington Commanders Though trading within the NFC East would be highly unlikely, Washington desperately needs a dominant edge presence. Parsons could be a franchise-changing addition, if Jerry Jones is willing to take the risk. 5. Chicago Bears The Bears have talent on offense and a solid piece in Montez Sweat defensively, but the pass rush lacks depth. Parsons could instantly transform Chicago's front seven. 6. Detroit Lions With Aidan Hutchinson returning from injury and the Lions firmly in their Super Bowl window, adding Parsons could push Detroit's defense over the top.
