Jones totaled 45 quarterback pressures last year, tying the career-best sum he set in 2022. He totaled 43 in 2023. Jones should continue playing effectively, entering his age-28 season. The Titans’ defensive front is a talented bunch but struggled to pressure the passer in 2024. Jones’ addition should improve their ability to do so in 2025.

Eskridge will chip in with the occasional target and kick return but he is not on the fantasy radar. He averaged 29.2 yards per kick return on five returns last year and caught 3-of-3 targets for 47 yards.

The rotational run-stuffer re-ups with the Rams after notching career-highs in both tackles (17) and tackles for loss or no gain (three). This was a needed move for the Rams, after losing starting DT Bobby Brown III to the Panthers this offseason.

Yeboah set career-high receiving sums across the board last year, catching 5-of-8 targets for 47 yards and one touchdown. He will serve as a deep, rotational option in Detroit.

Nwangwu had a brutal 2024 season, taking home AFC Special Teams Player of the Week in his lone active showing. At 27 years old, the speedy returner should have a fruitful special teams season, pending good health.

The $45 million sum equates to $15 million per year. This is a homecoming for Kupp, who grew up in Yakima, WA and later attended Eastern Washington University. Reports consistently indicated that Kupp preferred to remain on the West Coast, with some journalists reporting that Seattle, specifically, appealed to him. It remains to be seen how the Seahawks will deploy Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, two slot-oriented players, but the coaching staff undoubtedly has a plan in mind. Kupp averaged 1.88 yards per route run across the full 2024 season. In 12 regular season games, he caught 67-of-97 targets for 710 yards and six touchdowns.

McNamara went undrafted last year and signed with the Bengals as a UDFA. The team cut him early in training and he didn’t play in 2024. McNamara will compete with Thomas Morstead for a roster spot this summer.

The Bengals’ front office may be able to free up enough cash, via Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins’ impending contract extensions, to keep Hendrickson in Cincinnati. This is a hugely positive development. Hendrickson totaled 162 quarterback pressures and 38 sacks over the last two seasons.

Fox notched 29 quarterback pressures, four sacks, 22 tackles and two tackles for loss or no gain with the Chargers last year. Fox will contribute positively to the Falcons’ defense but he likely represents a downgrade in the post-Grady Jarrett era.

Ledbetter racked up a career-high 31 tackles in his sixth NFL season last year, adding eight quarterback pressures and two sacks. Ledbetter should perform well, with offenses focusing on Dexter Lawrence in New York.

Ogunjobi will miss the Bills’ first six games of the 2025 NFL season due to a performance-enhancing drugs (PED) issue. He can make up to $10 million via incentives. Ogunjobi totaled 14 quarterback pressures, two sacks and 22 tackles, six of which for a loss or no gain. He joins a burgeoning Bills defensive line rotation. Recent free agent-signee, EDGE Michael Hoecht was also suspended for six games, due to PEDs.
