Ravens Acquire Edge Rusher Dre'Mont Jones From Titans For Conditional Pick

The Baltimore Ravens have traded a conditional 2026 fifth-round pick, potentially upgrading to a fourth-rounder, to the Tennessee Titans for veteran edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones. This move addresses the Ravens' need for pass-rush help, as their defense was tied for second-fewest sacks in the NFL with only 11. Jones, 28, has recorded 19 quarterback pressures and 4.5 sacks recently, playing both inside and outside on the defensive line, and is expected to bolster the Ravens' edge rushing following their trade of Odafe Oweh and injuries in their linebacker corps. The Titans, who are sellers this season, benefit by acquiring draft capital for a player who had a less impactful tenure with them but contributed solidly last year. The acquisition comes amid Baltimore's recent two-game winning streak and the return of quarterback Lamar Jackson, positioning them to challenge for the AFC North lead against the Steelers. Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta may continue to strengthen the team before the trade deadline, particularly focusing on the interior defensive line and guard positions.
