Current record is 200.0 sacks by Bruce Smith, Buffalo, 1985-1999; Washington, 2000-03 David ``Deacon`` Jones has the unofficial record, he kept all of his sacks written down in a book he kept and had a total of I think 226.5 sacks
Linebacker Jason Gildon had 77 sacks as a Pittsburgh Steeler, which is a team record. Gildon finished his career with 80 sacks, picking up three more in his final season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Through the 2006 season, that was Casey Dailey (1994-1997) with 28 career sacks.
There isn't really a record kept for fewest sacks in a season by a player, as there are thousands of NFL players who have not had any sacks. Michael Strahan holds the record for most sacks in a season, at 22 1/2.
