"According to multiple reports, the Patriots agreed to terms with former Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Dre'Mont Jones on a three-year, $39 million contract. It's a move to bolster their pass rushing unit, which did struggle to get to the quarterback this past season with just 35 sacks in the regular season."
"Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal pointed out that the Patriots were in on Jones at the trade deadline last year, but that talks didn't go far. Sports Illustrated insider Albert Breer reported back in November that the Patriots made an offer to the Tennessee Titans, but 'nothing really worked out.'"
"In nine games with the Ravens, Jones recorded 17 combined tackles (six solo, 11 assisted), 15 quarterback hits, and 2.5 sacks. Before being moved to the Ravens, Jones recorded 26 combined tackles (13 solo, 13 assisted), nine quarterback hits, five tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks."
The New England Patriots signed former Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens linebacker Dre'Mont Jones to a three-year, $39 million deal during the legal tampering period. The move addresses the team's pass rushing struggles, as they recorded only 35 sacks during the regular season. The Patriots had previously pursued Jones at the trade deadline but those negotiations failed. Jones was subsequently traded to the Ravens for a 2026 fifth-round pick. In nine games with Baltimore, Jones recorded 17 tackles, 15 quarterback hits, and 2.5 sacks. His ability to pressure the quarterback makes him a valuable addition to New England's defensive line.
