After a generally underwhelming tenure in Seattle, Jones heads to the team with the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft.
Another recent Seattle Seahawks salary cap casualty has found a new team.
Former interior defensive lineman turned outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones has agreed to a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans.

Jones was released by the Seahawks earlier this month, freeing up $11 million in cap space prior the start of free agency. He was signed from the Denver Broncos on a three-year, $51 million contract in a rare splash move by John Schneider. While the signing was a splash, the productivity did not meet expectations. An underwhelming first season in Seattle prompted a positional switch to rotational outside linebacker, which didn’t result in anything spectacular. Jones had 8.5 sacks over two seasons and he played over 100 snaps fewer under Mike Macdonald than he did under Pete Carroll.
The Seahawks play at the Titans for the second time in three seasons, so at the moment it looks like Seattle will get to play a rebuilt Titans defense that includes ex-Seahawks Jones and linebacker Cody Barton.
