Ravens acquire Dre’Mont Jones from Titans

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Ravens have acquired edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans. In exchange, Baltimore will be sending a conditional fifth-round pick to Tennessee that could turn into a fourth-round selection. The fifth-round pick was acquired from the New York Jets during this past year’s draft.

Jones should provide the Ravens with some immediate help on the edge. Baltimore’s defense has collected only 11 sacks in 2025, tied for the second-lowest total in the NFL. The team has also lost some depth at the position, as Odafe Oweh was dealt to the Los Angeles Chargers and Tavius Robinson was lost to a broken foot that should sideline him through at least November. Carl Lawson was recently brought in as a temporary fix, although the veteran has yet to see the field with his new squad.

Jones isn’t one of the most prolific pass rushers in the NFL, but he’s still shown an ability to get after the quarterback. The former Denver Broncos third-round pick has never exceeded 6.5 sacks in a single season, but he’s also managed to collect at least four sacks in each of the past six years.

He was actually trending towards one of the most productive seasons of his career during his first season with Tennessee in 2025. Through nine games, the veteran has collected 4.5 sacks along with 26 tackles, five tackles for loss and nine QB hits. Pro Football Focus has only ranked him 63rd among 119 qualifying edge defenders this season, although the site has given him an above-average grade for his pass-rush ability.

The acquisition should immediately find a role in Baltimore. Mike Green will continue to pace the Ravens’ pass-rush unit, but Jones could easily slide in ahead of Kyle Van Noy and David Ojabo on the depth chart. The team could also soon welcome back 2024 third-rounder Adisa Isaac, although the pass rusher doesn’t have much of an NFL track record.

Attached to a one-year, $8.5M deal, Jones represents a clear rental for the Ravens. While Baltimore has had a disappointing start to their 2025 campaign, the team’s upcoming schedule should help them remain in the playoff hunt for the second half of the season. It will be interesting to see if the team continues to add ahead of Tuesday's deadline. It was uncertain if the organization would be buyers or sellers heading into Week 10, but the team is clearly signaling that they want to add.

As for the Titans, the front office could continue to be aggressive over the next day. The team previously dealt cornerback Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams, while the likes of Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard and T’Vondre Sweat have all been mentioned as trade candidates.
