Ravens Secure OLB Dre’Mont Jones in Trade with Titans

The Baltimore Ravens have secured edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans in a strategic trade. This deal involves a conditional fifth-round draft pick for the 2026 NFL Draft. Sources indicate that the Ravens will send the New York Jets’ fifth-round selection to the Titans, with certain conditions allowing it to potentially upgrade to a fourth-round pick.

Dre’Mont Jones Joins the Ravens

This addition comes as the Ravens’ defense struggles, currently ranking near the bottom in the league for total sacks. With only 11 sacks, they are slightly ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have 10. The Ravens desperately needed to bolster their pass rush following some recent injuries and trades that left them thin at outside linebacker.

Defensive Challenges

Currently, Baltimore has only three healthy outside linebackers on its 53-man roster: Kyle Van Noy, Mike Green, and David Ojabo. Moreover, the team traded away Odafe Oweh to the Los Angeles Chargers earlier and is also managing a foot injury to starting linebacker Tavius Robinson, keeping him sidelined until December.

Dre’Mont Jones’ Performance

• Jones has achieved 19 quarterback pressures this season, surpassing any Ravens player.
• He has also recorded a sack in four consecutive games.
• Previously, Jones operated as a stand-up rusher alongside veteran Jihad Ward.

In a recent statement, Jones mentioned his dedication to improving his technique by analyzing film extensively, indicating his commitment to enhancing his performance on the field.

Ravens’ Plans Moving Forward

The Ravens are currently 3-5 and looking to turn their season around after a rough start. They have managed to secure back-to-back victories, largely due to their defensive improvements, which have limited opponents to 17 points or fewer in their last three outings. General manager Eric DeCosta is exploring additional trades before the upcoming deadline, aiming to strengthen both the interior defensive line and guard positions. This proactive approach demonstrates Baltimore’s commitment to making a playoff push despite the challenges faced earlier in the season.

As the Ravens integrate Jones into their defense, they hope to enhance their pass-rushing capabilities and improve their overall performance as they aim for a more successful season.
