Going alphabetically by new team, let’s dive into the most impactful EDGE signings and see what their outlooks may be!

D.J. Wonnum and K’Lavon Chaisson, Carolina Panthers
Even before trading Brian Burns, the Panthers needed to improve their EDGE position. They bring in Wonnum, who had his best season in 2023. He is not an EDGE1 play, but could be a sneaky second rusher, but would be best as a third DE for your fantasy teams. Chaisson also comes in and is probably the second rusher on the team. He was largely disappointing in Jacksonville after being a first-round pick, but maybe a change of scenery is what he needs! On a bad team, he is nothing more than an upside shot in incredibly deep leagues.
Za’Darius Smith, Cleveland Browns
Smith returns to Cleveland after a modest (for fantasy) initial campaign. He has more upside than 2023’s production, but it is limited while splitting time with Obo Okoronkwo. Smith is still a solid matchup play, especially when Myles Garrett is healthy.
