2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tomlinson has been a model of consistency in his eight-year career, logging time in 16 games each season aside from 2022 (13 appearances for the Vikings). He's also recorded between 2.5 and 3.5 sacks in six consecutive campaigns, but he's fallen short of 30 tackles in each of the last two years. The Cardinals inked Tomlinson to a two-year, $29 million contract this offseason with the aim to support their interior defensive front. Read Past Outlooks

The Cardinals signed Tomlinson to a two-year, $29 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal comes with $16 million guaranteed. Tomlinson was officially released by the Browns on Monday afternoon in order to designate him as a post-June 1 cut, and he's quickly back on his feet in the desert. Tomlinson was a 16-game starter for Cleveland last season and piled up 26 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks. He figures to slide right in as a starting defensive tackle for Arizona.

2017
Tomlinson's first year in Cleveland may be considered the least productive of his seven NFL seasons. His 28 tackles in 2023 were a career-low, but he was able to move bodies and set up sacks for the Browns' edge rushers. He recorded three of the team's 49 sacks (sixth in NFL). Tomlinson enters the second season of a four-year deal and will be the snap-count leader at defensive tackle. Another year in the system could lead to better tackle numbers.
The Browns were near the bottom of the league in rush defense, so they acquired Tomlinson who will command double teams on the interior of the line.
Tomlinson serves as a run suffer along with Harrison Phillips in the interior of Minnesota's 3-4 defense, but he has some modest pass rush skills as well.
After the Vikings gave Tomlinson a two-year, $21 million contract this offseason, he'll start at defensive tackle and be a valuable run stuffer with modest pass-rushing skills. He has just eight sacks in four pro seasons. He does provide stability as he plays a lot of snaps - over 600 on defense in each of his last three campaigns - and has never missed a game.
At 6-3, 318, Tomlinson is a powerful interior lineman who showed some pass rushing skills (3.5 sacks) last year. The 2017 second-rounder plays a lot of snaps and has never missed a game, but he's only worth a look in deeper IDP leagues.
Tomlinson continues to show tremendous durability, suiting up for 61 of 62 possible games for the Crimson Tide and Giants since 2015. In New York he learned from the best, Damon "Snacks" Harrison, who has led the NFL in tackles by an interior defensive lineman for four consecutive seasons. Now an even more key component to the unit's success with Harrison out the door, Tomlinson aims to assist Big Blue in improving from a 20th-place finish in rush defense.
Tomlinson will start at defensive end in the team's new 3-4 alignment alongside nose tackle Damon Harrison. Defensive ends in that alignment typically don't rack up fantasy stats, but Tomlinson is a good run stopper and should generate some tackles.
Selected in the second round of this year's draft, Tomlinson has a good chance to start right away, replacing the departed Johnathan Hankins at defensive tackle. Tomlinson is in a good spot, next to Damon Harrison and with Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon on the outside, but his role will mostly be to clog the run.
