What happened: PFF's top five also included Baker Mayfield at 299 and Jared Goff at 293, leaving a six-sack gap between fourth and fifth. Stafford sat 83 sacks behind Rodgers, while Cousins trailed Stafford by another 180.

Why it matters: The totals offer a quick durability check on veteran quarterbacks who have stayed on the field long enough to absorb years of hits. It also lands with Rodgers still starting at 42, keeping his workload part of the broader age-versus-availability story at the position.

By the numbers: Rodgers holds an 83-sack lead on Stafford and a 263-sack edge on Cousins. Mayfield and Goff are separated by six sacks, the tightest gap anywhere on the list.

What to watch: Watch whether the order changes as the 2026 season adds more dropbacks for every quarterback in the group. Stafford is the closest to Rodgers, while Cousins is the only other passer within 300 sacks of the lead.
