Looking to bolster their pass rush, the Baltimore Ravens have acquired outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans for a fifth-round pick, a league source confirmed to The Athletic.
Jones, 28, is a seven-year pro who is having one of the best seasons of his career, with 4.5 sacks and nine quarterback hits in nine games. Jones’ 19 quarterback pressures are seven more than the Ravens’ leader in that category, nose tackle Travis Jones.
The Ravens have acquired DE/OLB Dre’Mont Jones from the Titans for a conditional fifth-round pick, per source. The pick could become a fourth-rounder.

Jones is also coming off one of his best games of the season. He had 1.5 sacks, four tackles, four quarterback hits and eight quarterback pressures in the Titans’ 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.
The 2019 third-round pick of the Denver Broncos has 35 career sacks. He averaged just over five per season in his first six NFL campaigns.
Jones signed a one-year, $8.5 million deal with the Titans in March after he spent the previous two seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He’s a little over two years removed from inking a three-year, $51.5 million deal with Seattle in 2023.
He was an interior defensive lineman earlier in his career, but Jones lost weight ahead of the 2023 season to fit better as an edge rusher in former Baltimore defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald’s Seattle defense. He can move inside as a rusher, an attractive quality for a defense that has struggled mightily to generate pressure on the quarterback since Nnamdi Madubuike went down with a season-ending neck injury.
The Ravens have been looking for pass-rush help, particularly after they traded outside linebacker Odafe Oweh to the Chargers for safety Alohi Gilman last month in a deal that also involved draft picks. Tavius Robinson fractured his foot shortly thereafter, leaving the Ravens extremely thin at outside linebacker. In the last two games, the Ravens dressed only three natural outside linebackers.
Baltimore’s defense has stabilized and has played much better over the past three games, but generating a pass rush has been difficult. The Ravens have just 11 sacks in eight games. Only the Jacksonville Jaguars (10) have fewer. In recent weeks, they’ve defended largely by blitzing to generate quarterback pressure.
Jones now slides into an edge group that includes veteran Kyle Van Noy, rookie second-round pick Mike Green and fourth-year pro David Ojabo. The Ravens also signed veteran edge rusher Carl Lawson to their practice squad last month, and coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Lawson will likely be ready to play in Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The fifth-round pick the Ravens are trading to the Titans was originally acquired from the New York Jets during a 2025 draft weekend trade, a team source confirmed. Baltimore could have as many as three other fifth-round picks in April: its own and two potential compensatory selections.
The deal doesn’t necessarily mean the Ravens are done ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. ET deadline. They still could use help in the trenches, whether it’s an interior defensive lineman or an offensive guard.
