Chargers' Poona Ford: Finishes 2024 with 3.0 sacks
Rotowire
Ford played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 39 tackles (24 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (including one interception).
Ford signed a one-year, $1.79 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024 after playing for the Bills in 2023. Ford matched a career high in sacks from 2022 as a member of the Seahawks, and he logged his first-career interception in Week 1 against the Raiders. Ford will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should garner plenty of interest from teams looking to solidify their defensive fronts for the 2025 campaign.

The Bills signed Ford to a one-year contract Tuesday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
Undrafted out of Texas in 2018, Ford signed with the Seahawks and has since managed to become a significant contributor in the middle of the defense. Ford has started 64 games through five seasons and hasn't missed a contest since 2019. He has 7.5 career sacks and will try to carve out a role along Buffalo's interior alongside DaQuan Jones, Ed Oliver, Jordan Phillips and even Tim Settle.

Seahawks' Poona Ford: First sack of season
Rotowire
Ford posted five tackles (four solo), a sack and a pass breakup in Sunday's 19-9 win over the Cardinals.
Ford posted a season high in tackles and his first sack of the season in Week 6. The 26-year-old defensive tackle has had a slow start to the year with just 15 tackles through six games. He averaged more than three stops per game last year, so perhaps his strong performance this week is a sign that he has turned a corner.

Seahawks' Poona Ford: Trending toward return
Rotowire
Ford (calf) is expected to return to practice Monday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Ford missed nearly a full week of practice, but head coach Pete Carroll believes the third-year pro will be back on the field soon. With little competition behind him, Ford appears locked into a starting role in 2020 and could see an uptick in snaps -- he averaged 34.5 per game last season.
