Durant finished the 2025 regular season with 40 tackles (30 solo) and seven passes defensed, including three interceptions (one pick-six), over 17 games.

Durant logged 814 regular-season defensive snaps in 2025, 74 more than his previous career high of 740 snaps. The starting cornerback started all 17 regular-season games and all three playoff games the Rams participated in, playing out the final year of his rookie contract with a remarkable show of durability and consistency. The 28-year-old is now slated to be an unrestricted free agent, with a return to the Rams likely dependent on contract negotiations and the level of faith that the team has in Emmanuel Forbes as a starting cornerback.

Forbes had 45 tackles (32 solo) and 18 passes defensed, including three interceptions, over 17 regular-season games with the Rams in 2025.

Forbes ended the 2024 season as a healthy scratch for the Rams after being waived by the Commanders in early December. After an offseason of work with his new team, the cornerback has grown into a player who better reflects the first-round draft capital used to acquire him. The 25-year-old was a consistent contributor throughout the 2025 season and will likely compete for a starting outside cornerback job. Forbes has one year left on his rookie deal, and even though the Rams picked him up off waivers, they cannot exercise the fifth-year option typically associated with first-round picks because they are not the team that drafted him.

Ford ended the 2025 regular season with 47 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and added one pass defensed over 17 games with the Rams.

Ford signed a three-year $27.6 million contract with the Rams in March of 2025 after a career year in 2024 with the Chargers. The defensive tackle immediately added power to the center of the Rams' defense, further enabling second-year players Braden Fiske and Jared Verse to attack the offense. Ford will likely enter the 2026 season as the starting nose tackle.

Turner had 48 tackles (24 solo), including 7.0 sacks, and added three passes defensed, including one interception, over 17 regular-season games with the Rams.

Turner had a productive season starting at defensive end opposite Braden Fiske. However, the 26-year-old exited the Rams' NFC Championship Game loss to the Seahawks in the third quarter with an undisclosed injury, and the starting right end never returned to the contest. With no additional information surrounding the injury, it is unclear if Turner will be able to enter the last season of his contract with the benefit of a full offseason.

Lake finished the 2025 regular season with 61 tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble while adding 10 passes defensed, including one interception, over 10 games with the Rams.

Lake played the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season without missing a single defensive snap. This impressive streak came to an end when the slot cornerback suffered an elbow injury in the Week 11 win over the Seahawks, which required surgery that would keep Lake out until the playoffs. Fortunately, the cornerback returned for January's playoff run, where he once again logged every defensive snap. The overall consistency from the 27-year-old earned him a three-year, $42 million contract that will keep him as the starting slot cornerback for the Rams through the 2028 season.

Dupree (hamstring) had 16 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks, and added one pass defensed over 16 regular-season games with the Chargers in 2025.

The 11-year vet missed just one regular-season game, Week 16 against the Cowboys, due to a back injury, and he also sat out the wild-card loss to the Patriots because of a hamstring issue. Dupree did see a significant decrease in snaps, as he logged 390 this past season after seeing 522 in 2024. The 33-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it remains to be seen if the Chargers will be interested in a reunion.

Jackson recorded 24 tackles (16 solo) and 12 passes defensed, including four interceptions, over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Jackson's four-interception total is the second best of his eight-year career, with only his 2024 season with the Steelers netting a higher total (five). Jackson has one more year on his contract with the Chargers and will likely continue operating as the starting outside cornerback for the team in 2026.

Hand accumulated 29 tackles (18 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four passes defensed, including one interception, over 13 games in the 2025 regular season.

Hand's Week 14 interception of Jalen Hurts marked the first of his eight-year career, and the pick helped lead the Chargers to a pivotal victory over the then defending champs. The defensive end managed to exceed his 2024 sack total (1.0) despite playing four fewer games in 2025. The 30-year-old will enter the 2026 offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Mickens had 29 tackles (18 solo) and two interceptions over 12 regular-season games for the Chargers in 2025.

Mickens was utilized as a rotational safety option behind starters Derwin James and Elijah Molden. The rookie enjoyed a strong start to his career with interceptions against the Vikings in Week 8 and the Steelers in Week 10. He will likely start his sophomore season in a rotational role once again, as both James and Molden will be back in their starting roles in 2026.

Evans isn't likely to retire this offseason, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine.

Laine notes that fellow Bucs legend Lavonte David said he'll either re-sign with the team or retire, whereas Evans is considered more likely to continue his NFL career. The implication seems to be that Evans is willing to play for another team if he can't reach terms with Tampa Bay before hitting free agency in March. He'll turn 33 in August after finishing 2025 with career lows in numerous categories, including games played (eight), catch rate (48.4 percent) and yards per game (48.4).
