Baker recorded 40 total tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

The Ohio State product had the least productive campaign of his NFL career in 2025, tallying career lows in total tackles and passes defensed while playing his fewest defensive snaps (261) since entering the league in 2018. Despite the reduced role, Baker remained an important part of the Browns defense, tying his career high in forced fumbles while contributing on special teams (205 snaps). Entering unrestricted free agency this offseason, Baker likely will find work as a reserve inside linebacker ahead of the 2026 season.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Emmanwori (ankle) is "fully expected" to play Sunday versus New England in the Super Bowl, Jeff Darlington of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Emmanwori officially was listed as limited Wednesday after rolling his ankle in practice, and per Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic, Macdonald said the rookie second-rounder is managing a low-ankle sprain. Macdonald also noted that Seattle will be overly cautious with Emmanwori's health, so it won't be surprising if he's limited again or even held out entirely Thursday and/or Friday. What remains to be seen is whether Emmanwori will manage to avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game.

Harris recorded 32 total tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sack, and four passes defensed across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran from Illinois State operated as one of the Browns' top interior defensive linemen this season, tying for the fifth-most tackles for loss (seven) on the team. Harris played well while starting for the injured Maliek Collins (quadriceps) over Cleveland's final five games, tallying 11 total tackles, including 0.5 sack, and two passes defensed during that span. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Harris likely will find work as a rotational interior defensive lineman for the 2026 season.

Jenkins tallied 45 total tackles (19 solo), one interception and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old from Miami has seen vast declines in several statistical categories over the past two seasons, recording fewer total tackles (101 to 45), sacks (1.0 to none), passes defensed (nine to one) and interceptions (two to one) compared to his 2023 campaign with the Jaguars. However, Jenkins played a much smaller role on the Browns defense in 2025, logging just 276 defensive snaps, his lowest mark since 2018. Set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Jenkins could find work as a reserve safety ahead of the 2026 season.

Harden posted 48 total tackles (28 solo) and four passes defensed across 16 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

After playing just 52 defensive snaps and recording five total tackles in 2024, Harden became one of the Browns' most reliable defenders this season. He started four contests and set career highs in total tackles and passes defensed while remaining a key special-teams contributor (228 snaps). Under contract through 2027, Harden may have the opportunity to compete for Cleveland's top slot corner position throughout the offseason.

Diabate recorded 49 total tackles (22 solo) and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

The 24-year-old from Utah saw declines in both total tackles (70 to 49) and passes defensed (three to zero) compared to his 2024 campaign. However, he played 266 fewer defensive snaps in 2025, operating in more of a reserve role due to the emergence of Carson Schwesinger. Set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, Diabate can be retained by the Browns if they choose to match any offer he receives. He's expected to draw interest from teams in need of inside linebacker help ahead of next season.

Stewart recorded 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defensed across eight regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Stewart, a 2025 first-round pick from Texas A&M, didn't participate in the Bengals' offseason program and failed to report to training camp on time due to a post-draft contract dispute. This may have contributed to his slow start in the NFL, as he recorded just six total tackles over his first five games. Stewart also struggled to stay healthy, missing nine contests due to a lingering knee injury. Despite the setbacks, the 22-year-old likely will operate as one of the Bengals' top edge rushers during the 2026 season.

Davis posted 20 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble over seven regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been with the Bengals' organization since 2020 but had primarily been a special-teamer prior to this season. After being promoted from the practice squad to the active roster in early December, the Utah State product started three of Cincinnati's final seven games and logged a career-high 270 defensive snaps. Now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Davis could find work with a team in need of secondary depth ahead of the 2026 season.

Johnson tallied 20 total tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across nine regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Johnson, a 2024 sixth-round pick from Ole Miss, set career highs in total tackles and sacks while logging 207 defensive snaps during his second NFL season. He missed the first eight games of Cincinnati's 2025 campaign but came on strong late in the year, with all of his sacks coming over the final two weeks of the regular season. Under contract through 2027, Johnson is expected to remain one of the Bengals' top reserve defensive ends next season.

Slaton recorded 52 total tackles (19 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Slaton continued his iron-man streak this season, having now played five years in the NFL without missing a regular-season game. In his first year with the Bengals, the Florida product set career highs in total tackles and sacks while operating as one of the team's top interior defensive linemen. Entering the second season of his two-year, $14.1 million deal signed last offseason, Slaton is expected to remain an integral part of Cincinnati's defense in 2026.
