The Baltimore Ravens are acquiring Dre’Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans to bolster their anemic pass rush and thin outside linebacker room, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
In exchange for the veteran
edge rusher, the Ravens are sending a fifth-round pick to the Titans that could be upgraded to a fourth-rounder. He is owed $1.25 million for the remainder of the season, only $250,000 more than what the Ravens cleared with the Jaire Alexander trade on Saturday.
Jones was one of Baltimore Beatdown contributor Zach Canter’s top trade targets at the position:
Jones is probably the best bang-for-buck short-term option to help the Ravens in 2025. A seven-year vet, Jones has played for three teams now in his career and is on a one-year deal for the Titans. Jones seems like one of the most guaranteed names to leave Tennessee at the deadline and the Ravens could use his production. Jones has posted 5.5 or more sacks in three of the six years of his career and is already up to 4.5 in game nine of his seventh year. Pairing this with a similar size swing or bigger on the defensive line could bring some equilibrium back to this defense and make them multiple once more, no longer requiring them to depend on their current iteration of defense, allowing them to change looks a little more deceptively.
