Marquise Brown WR | PHI
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Notches three catches in Week 18
Brown gathered in three of six targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 14-12 loss to the Raiders.
With the Chiefs missing out on the playoffs for the first time since 2014, Brown's 2025 campaign officially comes to a close. The 28-year-old wideout posted another middle-of-the-road campaign this season, racking up 49 catches for 587 yards and five touchdowns on 74 targets over 16 games. While he missed one, it's certainly a better sign that the veteran was able to stay healthy for the majority of 2025 after missing all but two games last season, and he'll head to free agency this offseason after only signing a one-year pact with KC prior to this year. Brown doesn't figure to command huge numbers but should have a spot on a roster somewhere again next year.

Rasul Douglas CB | MIA
Dolphins' Rasul Douglas: Staring down free agency
Douglas made 62 tackles (37 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2025. He also racked up 13 passes defensed, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble.
Douglas tallied his highest tackle total since 2022 while playing out the 2025 campaign on a one-year, $1.57 million contract with Miami. While operating mostly as a coverage option in the slot, Douglas was one of the more reliable members of the Dolphins' secondary. He shouldn't have much difficulty finding another starting role in free agency.

Will Johnson CB | ARI
Cardinals' Will Johnson: MRI comes back clean
Johnson's (knee) MRI came back negative Monday, and he's healthy headed into the offseason, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Johnson had to leave Sunday's regular-season finale against the Rams with a knee injury, but he's avoided anything notable injury-wise and should have a normal offseason. The second-round rookie appeared in 12 regular-season games for Arizona, making 10 starts, and wrapped up his 2025 campaign with 37 tackles (27 solo), 10 pass breakups and one forced fumble. He should return as a starting cornerback in 2026.

Nic Scourton DE | CAR
Panthers' Nic Scourton: Productive rookie campaign
Scourton recorded 47 total tackles (20 solo), including 5.0 sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
Scourton, a 2025 second-round pick from Texas A&M, emerged as Carolina's most productive pass rusher during his rookie campaign. He led the team in pressures (34), tied for the team lead in sacks (5.0) and ranked second on the defense in tackles for loss (seven). Among rookie edge rushers, Scourton led the group with 47 total tackles while finishing with the third-most sacks as well. He was a major reason for the Panthers' defensive improvements this season and is expected to remain the team's top edge rusher following the 2025 playoff run.

Ashtyn Davis SAF | MIA
Dolphins' Ashtyn Davis: Career-high tackles in 2025
Davis tallied 65 tackles (43 solo) across 15 regular-season games with the Dolphins in 2025. He also had four passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble.
Davis played out the 2025 campaign on a one-year, $1.22 million contract with Miami, setting him up to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason. The 29-year-old safety was relatively unreliable in coverage despite handling an every-down role when healthy for the Dolphins in 2025, making it likely that he'll have to compete during the offseason in order to secure a sizeable workload again for 2026.

Braxton Jones OT | CHI
Bears' Braxton Jones: Practice window opens
Jones (knee) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday.
Jones has been sidelined for the Bears' last 11 games due to a knee injury sustained in the Week 7 win over the Saints, but he could return for the team's playoff run. If he's added to Chicago's active roster in time for Saturday's wild-card round matchup against the Packers, Jones would likely operate as one of the Bears' top reserve tackles.

Kyler Gordon CB | CHI
Bears' Kyler Gordon: Designated to return
Gordon (groin) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Tuesday.
The 26-year-old from Washington appeared in just three regular-season games this season due to hamstring and groin injuries, but it now appears he's nearing a return. If activated to Chicago's active roster, Gordon could suit up for the Bears' wild-card matchup against the Packers on Saturday. His practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the best indication of his potential availability for this weekend.

D.J. Wonnum LB | DET
Panthers' D.J. Wonnum: Underwhelms in 2025
Wonnum recorded 42 total tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Wonnum stayed healthy for nearly the whole season after appearing in just eight games during his first year in Carolina in 2024. During his time with the Panthers, he's struggled to get after the quarterback, recording just 7.0 sacks across 24 regular-season games. That production marks a notable drop-off from his 2023 campaign with the Vikings, when he tallied 8.0 sacks in 15 regular-season games. Now finishing the final season of a two-year, $12.5 million contract signed in March of 2024, Wonnum is set to hit unrestricted free agency following the Panthers' 2025 playoff campaign.

A'Shawn Robinson DT | TB
Panthers' A'Shawn Robinson: Production dips in 2025
Robinson tallied 65 total tackles (21 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and three passes defensed across 17 regular-season games in 2025.
In the second season of a three-year, $22.5 million contract, the 30-year-old from Alabama remained one of Carolina's top interior defensive linemen, starting 16 of the 17 regular-season games in which he appeared. However, Robinson saw declines in several statistical categories compared to 2024, finishing with fewer total tackles (80 to 65), sacks (5.5 to 3.5) and forced fumbles (one to zero). Those dips are partially attributable to the return of Derrick Brown, and the additions of Bobby Brown (concussion) and Tershawn Wharton (hamstring) in free agency, as Robinson played 58 fewer snaps this season. He's expected to remain a crucial part of the Panthers' defensive line following the team's 2025 playoff run.

Tre'von Moehrig SAF | CAR
Panthers' Tre'von Moehrig: Impactful first year in Carolina
Moehrig recorded 103 total tackles (65 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and two passes defensed, including one interception, over 16 regular-season games in 2025.
Moehrig signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Panthers in March and lived up to his contract in his first season with the team. The TCU product started all 16 regular-season games in which he appeared in and tallied a career-high 14 tackles for loss, the most TFLs by a defensive back in a single season in NFL history. His versatility played a key role in the Panthers' defensive success, as he logged 442 snaps in the box, 310 in the slot, 143 at free safety and 94 on the defensive line. Moehrig remains under contract through 2027 and is expected to remain one of Carolina's top defensive playmakers for years to come.
