Matt Milano OLB | BUF
Bills' Matt Milano: Healthier in 2025
Milano recorded 67 total tackles (36 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one forced fumble over 12 regular-season appearances in 2025.
Entering the 2025 season, Milano had played just nine regular-season games over the past two years due to a plethora of injuries. His 12 appearances this year marked his highest total since the 2022 campaign. The 31-year-old remained an impactful defender when on the field, ranking third among Buffalo defenders in both total tackles and sacks. Now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Milano will likely land a short-term deal with a team in need of a starting-caliber inside linebacker ahead of the 2026 season, though he's never played for anybody but the Bills and could be back.

Jordan Poyer FS | BUF
Bills' Jordan Poyer: Continues to produce in Buffalo
Poyer (hamstring) logged 70 total tackles (31 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 10 regular-season games in 2025.
The 34-year-old safety from Oregon State began the season on Buffalo's practice squad, but a season-ending injury to Taylor Rapp (knee) allowed Poyer to play a larger defensive role. After returning to the starting lineup in the Week 8 matchup against the Panthers, Poyer emerged as one of the Bills' top tacklers, finishing with the second-most stops on the team. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, he could return to Buffalo as a reliable depth option if injuries impact the secondary again in 2026. Poyer played in the Bills' first playoff game against the Jaguars, but he suffered a hamstring injury in that game and was unable to play in the divisional round.

Dre'Mont Jones LB | NE
Ravens' Dre'Mont Jones: Struggles in Baltimore
Jones tallied 43 total tackles (19 solo) including 7.0 sacks with one pass defensed across 18 appearances in 2025.
The 29-year-old linebacker was dealt from Tennessee to Baltimore in early November, appearing in nine games with each team. In the four games prior to the trade, Jones was one of the league's most productive pass rushers, recording 4.5 sacks. However, he struggled with his new club and tallied just 2.5 sacks for the Ravens. Now set to hit unrestricted free agency, Jones could be a hot commodity for teams in need of a starting-caliber pass rusher.

Kyle Van Noy MLB | BAL
Ravens' Kyle Van Noy: Minimal impact this season
Van Noy recorded 20 total tackles (12 solo) including 2.0 sacks, and four passes defensed including one interception, across 15 games in 2025.
The 34-year-old edge rusher logged just 488 defensive snaps, and his 2.0 sacks marked his lowest output since 2016 with the Patriots. Van Noy struggled to get after the quarterback but contributed in coverage, recording the sixth-most passes defensed on the Ravens. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, the veteran defender could draw interest from teams in need of pass-rush depth in 2026.

Tavius Robinson LB | BAL
Ravens' Tavius Robinson: Career year in 2025
Robinson tallied 28 total tackles (15 solo), including 4.5 sacks, with one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 10 games in 2025.
Despite missing seven games due to injury in 2025, the third-year pro played 447 defensive snaps and emerged as one of the Ravens' top outside linebackers. Robinson's 4.5 sacks were a career high, and were the second most of any Baltimore defender. Entering the final season of his rookie contract, he's likely to start opposite 2025 second-round pick Mike Green as the Ravens' top edge-rush duo in 2026.

Mike Green LB | BAL
Ravens' Mike Green: Tallies 3.5 sacks in rookie season
Green appeared in all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with 41 tackles (17 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Green started in just one game in 2025, but the rookie second-rounder played a prominent role in the Ravens defense. He logged at least 50 percent of defensive snaps in 14 of 17 games, even after Baltimore acquired Dre'Mont Jones from the Titans in early November. Green's 3.5 sacks were tied with Darius Alexander for seventh among rookies and third-most on the team behind Travis Jones (5.0) and Tavius Robinson (4.5). Green would be in line for a larger role in 2026 if veteran edge rusher Kyle Van Noy -- who is an unrestricted free agent -- does not return to Baltimore.

Chidobe Awuzie CB | BAL
Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Plays 14 games in 2025
Awuzie registered 43 tackles (29 solo) and seven pass defenses across 14 games for the Ravens in 2025.
Awuzie was limited to just eight games with the Titans in 2024 due to a hamstring injury before being released by Tennessee in March. He inked a one-year deal with Baltimore that same month and managed to stay on the field more in 2025. He started at corner in each of the first four games of the season but played 60 percent or less of the Ravens' defensive snaps in eight of his last 10 outings, which may have been due to multiple injuries that he was managing. Awuzie is an unrestricted free agent and will look to join a team in need of veteran depth in the secondary.

Leonard Floyd LB | ATL
Falcons' Leonard Floyd: Production dips in 10th NFL season
Floyd recorded 19 tackles (six solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defense across 15 regular-season games in 2025.
Floyd was cut by the 49ers in March in a cap-saving move but quickly inked a one-year, $10 million contract with the Falcons. He logged at least 8.5 sacks in five consecutive years prior to 2025 and was set to lead an Atlanta pass rush that also consisted of rookie first-rounders James Pearce and Jalon Walker. However, Floyd's defensive snap count and production dipped noticeably in 2025, as he set a career low in tackles while recording the least amount of sacks in a season since 2019 as a member of the Bears (3.0). Floyd is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and while Spotrac projects his annual market value at $8.9 million, it's hard to say whether a team is willing to pay that kind of money for an edge rusher entering his age-34 campaign.

Ruke Orhorhoro DT | ATL
Falcons' Ruke Orhorhoro: More snaps in second season
Orhorhoro played in all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with 25 tackles (12 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defense.
The 2024 second-rounder out of Clemson operated in a rotational role in his rookie season. Orhorhoro saw an expanded role on defense in his sophomore campaign, starting in eight of the Falcons' final 12 games while forming a young defensive front with rookie first-rounders Jalon Walker and James Pearce. Orhorhoro should see prominent playing time in 2026 as the anchor to the Atlanta's D-line.

LaCale London LB | ATL
Falcons' LaCale London: Gets regular playing time in 2025
London appeared in 13 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with 30 tackles (17 solo), including 5.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.
London spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Falcons' practice squad and didn't appear in a game that year, but he earned a spot on the 53-man roster for 2025 following training camp. He was inactive for three games in the middle of the season, but his two-sack performance against the Patriots in Week 9 earned him some regular playing time over the final half the season. London will enter the offseason as a restricted free agent, which would allow Atlanta to match an offer that the 28-year-old receives from another team should the team opt to tender him.
