Seahawks HC Provides Insight on Titans Free Agent Signing

One of the most underrated signings that new Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi made this offseason was the addition of veteran defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones. He came to Tennessee from the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent the last two seasons, and on Tuesday, Seahawks head coach Mike MacDonald spoke to the media and talked about what a great addition Jones was for the Titans.

"He's a really talented player, man," said MacDonald. "He's such a heavy player around the edge and can also rush inside. ... He'll give you front flexibility being able to pass rush both inside and out, so he's kind of a great guy to move around."

Tennessee released star edge rusher Harold Landry III earlier this offseason, so the team needed to fill the void that he left in the defense. There are several viable options set to be available in the NFL Draft, but adding a versatile and proven player is always a smart move.

Jones is a six-year NFL veteran who played the first four years of his career with the Denver Broncos after being drafted in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He has 30.5 career sacks and 40 tackles for loss, as well as an interception, three forced fumbles and seven passes batted down. He'll be an excellent addition to an already-strong defensive line in Tennessee.
