Ravens Acquire Titans OLB Dre’Mont Jones in Trade
The Baltimore Ravens have made a strategic move by acquiring outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans ahead of the NFL trade deadline. This trade reflects the Titans’ ongoing roster changes orchestrated by general manager Mike Borgonzi and president of football operations Chad Brinker.
Trade Details
In exchange for Jones, the Titans will receive a conditional fifth-round draft pick, which could escalate to a fourth-round selection, contingent upon certain performance metrics. Jones, who is 28, is in his inaugural season with the Titans after signing a one-year contract as a free agent in 2025.
Player Background
Originally a third-round pick by the Denver Broncos, Jones has established himself as a competent pass rusher. He has recorded a total of 35 career sacks, with an impressive 4.5 sacks in his last four games with the Titans. Throughout the 2025 season, he has been a consistent presence on defense, starting all eight games after shifting from various defensive positions.
Season Performance
The start of the season was challenging for Jones, as he struggled to register a quarterback hit in the first five games. However, his performance improved significantly as the season progressed, culminating in 4.5 sacks during critical games. Without Jones on their roster, the Titans will look to Arden Key, Jihad Ward, Jaylen Harrell, and Ali Gaye to fill the edge rush position. Notably, rookie Oluwafemi Oladejo is currently on injured reserve due to a leg injury.
Future Prospects for the Titans
As the Titans sit at 1-8 and prepare for the next series of games, theyare visibly positioning themselves as sellers ahead of the trade deadline on November 4. This trade marks the third deal the Titans have executed this season, previously trading cornerbacks to bolster their future draft position.
- September 23, 2025: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. traded to the New York Jets for a sixth-round pick.
- October 27, 2025: Roger McCreary traded to the Los Angeles Rams for a fifth-round pick.
The Titans are expected to continue refining their roster, moving towards a younger core built around upcoming talents, including quarterback Cam Ward and fellow rookies Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike. The team is set to resume action on November 16 by hosting the Houston Texans.
As the NFL trade landscape shifts, all eyes will be on the Titans and how they restructure their team dynamics moving forward into the 2026 season.
