The scheme change freed Sweat to be more aggressive. Despite a less-than-stellar supporting cast, he rebounded strongly with 53 stops, double-digit sacks, 5 batted passes, and a career-best 4 turnovers. Those numbers added up to his second top 10 in three seasons.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Sweat rebounds to top-10 edge form under Dennis Allen's scheme.

After a dismal 2024 season (18 stops, 14 tackles, 5 sacks), Sweat rebounded strongly in 2025 under Dennis Allen's scheme with 53 stops, double-digit sacks, 5 batted passes, and a career-best 4 turnovers, finishing top 10 at edge. The scheme change freed Sweat to be more aggressive despite a less-than-stellar supporting cast. The 2019 first-round pick of the Commanders was traded to the Bears during the 2023 campaign, which was his best statistical output to date (38 stops, 19 tackles, 12.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 4 batted passes, top-12 finish). No one was happier with Dennis Allen's hiring than Montez Sweat, suggesting he may finally be in a great place after the 2024 dip.
