Baltimore Ravens trade for edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones from Tennessee
The Baltimore Ravens have traded for edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, the team announced.
The Ravens are sending a conditional 5th-round draft pick to the Tennessee Titans for Jones, who has 4.5 sacks in nine games with the Tennessee Titans this season.
Who is Dre'Mont Jones?
Jones, a Cleveland, Ohio, native, was a third-round draft pick by the Denver Broncos in 2019, out of Ohio State.
He played four seasons in Denver, two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, and he signed a one-year, $10 million contract with the Tennessee Titans this past offseason.
Jones has 35 sacks in seven NFL seasons. He recorded 6.5 sacks with Denver in 2020 and 2022.
Need for pass rushers
The Baltimore Ravens defense has only 11 sacks this season, which is tied for second-to-last.
Nnamdi Madubuike and Tavius Robinson -- both injured -- lead the Ravens with two sacks apiece. Trenton Simpson and rookie Mike Green each have 1.5 sacks.
To put that into comparison, the Denver Broncos lead the NFL with 40 sacks.
