Going into the 2025 offseason, it was clear significant changes were going to be made to the roster under new head coach Mike Vrabel. This was further highlighted by the decision not to re-sign, and the release of nearly all the team's longest-tenured players, including David Andrews, Joe Cardona, and Deatrich Wise Jr.
All of those decisions meant pass rusher Anfernee Jennings became the last remaining player to have been on the team for more than three years. It also meant that he was put under the microscope during the offseason and now training camp, as many defenders were signed or drafted who were handpicked by the new regime.
