Dre’Mont Jones spent the 2025 season with two separate organizations and was productive in both locations. Starting the year with the Titans, the pass rusher played nine games in Nashville and recorded 4.5 sacks, 26 tackles, five tackles-for-loss, and nine quarterback hits. With the season going south, Tennessee traded Jones to the Ravens at the deadline, and he continued to have a positive impact on the defense. During his nine games with Baltimore, Jones recorded 2.5 sacks, 17 tackles, two tackles-for-loss, and 15 quarterback hits. Despite his strong play, however, the Ravens missed the postseason.

Jones originally entered the league as a third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Selected by the Denver Broncos, the Ohio State product spent most of his rookie season in a depth role. Appearing in 14 games while making one start, Jones finished his inaugural season with 3.5 sacks, 14 tackles, three tackles-for-loss, and six quarterback hits. He earned a larger role in his next three seasons and recorded 19.5 sacks from 2020 to 2022 as a starter.

Following the conclusion of his rookie contract, Dre’Mont Jones signed a new deal with the Seattle Seahawks. Playing under Pete Carroll, the former third-round pick recorded a modest 4.5 sacks, 49 tackles, five tackles-for-loss, and 12 quarterback hits in his first season on the West Coast. He put up similar numbers in 2023, finishing his second and final year in Seattle with four sacks, 28 tackles, seven tackles-for-loss, and 24 quarterback hits.

Since signing his rookie contract, Dre’Mont Jones has appeared in 108 games while making 69 starts. During his time on the field, the Ohio State product has recorded 37.5 sacks, 253 tackles, 47 tackles-for-loss, and 87 quarterback hits.
