  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Disappoints in sophomore season

    Legette caught one of four targets for eight yards during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams. Additionally, he recorded 44 kick return yards.

    The 2024 first-round pick from South Carolina was one of six Panthers to catch a pass from Bryce Young during Saturday's loss, finishing with the fifth-most receiving yards on the team. Across 15 regular-season appearances, Legette caught 35 of 64 targets for 363 yards and three touchdowns, finishing the year as Carolina's third-leading receiver. Heading into his third season in the NFL, Legette likely will remain a depth option in the Panthers' receiving corps following the emergence of Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker during the 2025 campaign.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Career year in 2025

    Tremble caught all three of his targets for 22 yards during Saturday's 34-31 wild-card loss to the Rams.

    Tremble made his presence felt during the Panthers' wild-card loss, finishing as the team's third-leading receiver while hauling in all of his targets. The fifth-year pro from Notre Dame signed a two-year extension with Carolina last offseason and quickly validated the move, setting career highs in both receptions (27) and yards (249) during the 2025 season. With Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle, IR) and Mitchell Evans all under contract for 2026, Carolina's tight-end room will likely remain crowded heading into next season.

  • Jake Martin DE | TEN

    Commanders' Jacob Martin: Career-high 5.5 sacks in 2025

    Martin had 5.5 sacks among his 39 tackles (17 solo) while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    Martin set new career highs in both sacks and tackles while tacking one pass defensed and one forced fumble onto his ledger. He started 14 games, matching his total from the 2021 season in Houston. Outside of those two campaigns, Martin has only one regular-season start in six other NFL seasons. His career-best output in 2025 should help Martin earn some attention in free agency this offseason.

  • Quan Martin CB | WAS

    Commanders' Quan Martin: Misses 100-tackle mark by one

    Martin recorded 99 tackles (52 solo) and three passes defensed while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2025.

    Martin set a new career high in tackles, missing the century mark by one. The 2023 second-round draft pick made 16 starts before being demoted to a bench role in the season finale. Martin will be in the mix for the Commanders' starting free safety role in 2026.

  • Commanders' Mike Sainristil: Four INTS in second season

    Sainristil had 85 tackles (51 solo) and four interceptions among his 12 passes defensed in 2025. He also returned one punt for no gain.

    Sainristil has played in all 17 regular-season games and notched at least 12 passes defensed in each of his first two NFL campaigns. The 2024 second-round draft pick is likely to maintain a starting cornerback role for the Commanders in his third NFL campaign after doubling his rookie-season total with four interceptions in 2025.

  • Von Miller OLB | WAS

    Commanders' Von Miller: Bumps career sack total up to 138.5

    Miller recorded 9.0 sacks among his 26 tackles (16 solo) while suiting up for all 17 games in the 2025 regular season.

    Miller has been reduced to a situational pass rusher at age 36, but he proved effective in that role for the Commanders, increasing his career regular-season sack total to 138.5 with his highest single-season mark in that category since 2021. He notched a sack in four of his last five games, but it remains to be seen if the Super Bowl 50 MVP wants to go out on that note or chooses to chase another championship by signing with a more competitive team in 2026.

  • Frankie Luvu LB | WAS

    Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Production dips in 2025

    Luvu recorded 86 tackles (42 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while adding six passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 2025.

    Luvu started all 17 regular-season games for a third consecutive season but recorded his lowest totals for tackles and sacks since the 2021 campaign. The 29-year-old linebacker appears to be on the downslope of his career, so the Commanders may consider cutting Luvu prior to the 2026 campaign for a $6.9 million cap penalty rather than absorbing the full $11.3 million cap hit from the final year of his three-year, $31 million deal.

  • Jeremy Reaves DB | WAS

    Commanders' Jeremy Reaves: Career-best 91 tackles in 2025

    Reaves recorded 91 tackles (57 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and had one interception among his seven passes defensed in the 2025 regular season.

    Reaves appeared in all 17 games, including eight starts, while setting new career highs in every major category. He came into the 2025 campaign with 1.0 career sacks and one interception in 64 regular-season appearances, and Reaves' previous high for tackles in a season was 33. He'll likely compete for a starting role again with the Commanders in 2026.

  • Bobby Wagner MLB | WAS

    Commanders' Bobby Wagner: Posts 162 tackles at age 35

    Wagner recorded 162 tackles (79 solo), including 4.5 sacks, while adding two interceptions among his four passes defensed in 2025.

    Wagner delivered another excellent statistical season at age 35, tying the second-best totals of his 14-year career for interceptions and sacks while dressing for all 17 games. He has exceeded 100 tackles in every regular season of his career and sits at an even 2,000. Despite his advanced age, Wagner should draw plenty of interest in free agency this offseason if he chooses to continue playing.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Falls down depth chart in 2025

    Tolbert caught 18 of 34 targets for 203 yards and a touchdown over 13 games in 2025.

    After a career-best campaign in 2024, Tolbert headed into the season third on the depth chart at wide receiver for the Cowboys behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The 2022 third-round pick fell out of favor after the first month of the season, however, and he was passed in the pecking order for snaps and targets by Ryan Flournoy. Tolbert is a free agent this offseason, and even with Pickens not guaranteed to return, it seems unlikely he'll be re-signed by Dallas.
