The 2025 season has already been lucrative for some players on expiring contracts. Here are five non-quarterbacks set to earn significant pay increases this offseason.
Los Angeles Rams linebacker Nate Landman
Landman might be 2025's closest comp to Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun's breakout 2024, manning the middle of the No. 2-ranked Rams scoring defense (17.2 points per game). From 2023-24, Landman, a 2022 undrafted free agent, started 23 games for the Atlanta Falcons, who declined his $3 million tender during the offseason, making him an unrestricted free agent.
He has blossomed in a lead role in Los Angeles after signing a one-year, $1.1M deal during free agency, playing roughly 93 percent of the team's defensive snaps (only safety Kamren Curl has played more)
