Trenton Simpson - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Solid season in Baltimore Simpson recorded 66 total tackles (34 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and one pass defensed across 17 regular-season games in 2025.

Impact Despite appearing in all 17 of the Ravens' games this season, the Clemson product started just six contests and primarily served as the team's top reserve inside linebacker behind Roquan Smith and Teddye Buchanan (knee, IR). Even so, Simpson tallied a career-high 2.5 sacks and finished with only seven fewer total tackles than in 2024, all while playing 213 fewer defensive snaps. With Smith and Buchanan both returning for next season, Simpson will likely play another reserve role in 2026.

Among Simpson's stops was a solo sack of Drake Maye in the first quarter. Simpson should continue to start in the Ravens' final two regular-season games, and he'll look to build upon his 2.5 sacks on the season, which is already a career-high mark.

Loses starting job in 2024 Simpson finished the 2024 regular season with 73 tackles (40 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses and one fumble recovery across 17 games.

Impact Simpson started the regular season as the Ravens' second starting inside linebacker alongside Roquan Smith. Simpson was fairly productive over Baltimore's first 11 games, accumulating 65 tackles (34 solo) over that span. However, his defensive snap count took a noticeable dip in Week 12, which coincided with more playing time for Malik Harrison and Chris Board. Simpson was completely out of the Ravens' inside linebacker rotation following the Week 14 bye, and he was limited to special teams during Baltimore's two-game postseason run. The 2023 third-round pick will use the offseason to re-tool his skillset and look to earn his starting job back for the 2025 campaign.
