"The pick going to Tennessee is the New York Jets' 2026 fifth-round pick that Baltimore had, but there are conditions in which that pick could become the Ravens' 2026 fourth-round pick. By landing Jones, Baltimore adds much-needed pass-rush help to a defense that has totaled 11 sacks, tied for second fewest in the NFL. Only the Jacksonville Jaguars have less with 10."
"The Ravens were down to three healthy outside linebackers on their 53-man roster in Kyle Van Noy, Mike Green and David Ojabo. Last month, Baltimore traded outside linebacker Odafe Oweh to the Los Angeles Chargers and then lost starting outside linebacker Tavius Robinson to a foot injury until December. Jones' 19 quarterback pressures are seven more than anyone on the Ravens, and he has recorded a sack in four consecutive games. The veteran outside linebacker had been primarily working as a stand-up rusher in tandem with fellow veteran Jihad Ward."
""I just hunkered down on my technique and in the film room," Jones said Sunday. "I'm a film junky. I watch myself, guys I played with and other guys around the league to try and pick up something.""
The Baltimore Ravens acquired edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick that could become a 2026 fourth-round pick. The addition targets a pass rush that has produced only 11 sacks, tied for the second-fewest in the NFL. The Ravens entered the deal with only three healthy outside linebackers after trading Odafe Oweh and losing starter Tavius Robinson to a foot injury. Jones has 19 quarterback pressures, seven more than any Raven, and has recorded a sack in four straight games while operating mainly as a stand-up rusher alongside Jihad Ward. The Titans' edge group had also been thinned by Oluwafemi Oladejo landing on injured reserve.
