Baltimore Ravens edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones. <\/p>\n
The Baltimore Ravens<\/a> saw their season fall apart in 2025 for a lot of reasons, but on the defensive side of the ball 1 of the main ones was the lack of a dominant edge rusher.<\/p>\n For the New England Patriots<\/a>, they looked at the Ravens\u2019 top edge rusher in free agency and decided to make him a very rich man. That might end up being a big mistake.<\/p>\n ESPN\u2019s Seth Walder called out the Patriots<\/a> for signing edge rusher Dre\u2019Mont Jones<\/a> away from the Ravens on a 3-year, $39 million free-agent contract on March 9, giving them a middling \u201cC\u201d grade for the deal.<\/p>\n \u201cJones, 29, is coming off a season in which he recorded 7.0 sacks \u2014 a career high \u2014 between his time with the Titans<\/a> and the Ravens,\u201d Walder wrote. \u201cBut his down-to-down metrics actually took a slight dip compared to where he was in previous seasons. He put up just a 22nd percentile pass rush win rate at edge in 2025, and a 25th percentile number in run stop win rate at edge. The latter number was higher than K\u2019Lavon Chaisson<\/a> but still nothing to write home about. Jones\u2019 pressure rate was slightly better, in the 53rd percentile. But we also have a long history of Jones\u2019 play at this point. He has failed to surpass an 11% pass rush win rate at edge in each of the past four years, meaning he was below average in the category in all of those seasons \u2026 at over $13 million per year, the contract is not trivial.\u201d<\/p>\n Ravens Made Midseason Move for Jones<\/p>\n The Ravens traded a conditional 5th round pick to the Tennessee Titans right before the NFL trade deadline to get Jones in\u00a0hopes of jump-starting a zombie-like defense<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jones, 6-foot-3 and 260 pounds, came to the Ravens playing some of the best football of his career.<\/p>\n \u201cSources: The Ravens are trading for\u00a0Titans\u00a0edge\u00a0Dre\u2019Mont\u00a0Jones, sending a conditional 5th rounder that could possibly become a fourth-rounder,\u201d\u00a0NFL Network\u2019s Ian Rapoport<\/a>\u00a0wrote on November 3. \u201cMore defensive help in Baltimore from a player whose has had 4.5 sacks in the last four games.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe pick going to Tennessee is the Jets\u2019 2026 5th-round pick that Baltimore had; but there are conditions in which that pick could become the Ravens\u2019 2026 4th-round pick,\u201d\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter<\/a>\u00a0wrote on his official X account.<\/p>\n Ravens Replaced Dre\u2019Mont Jones With $112M All-Pro<\/p>\n After calling off a trade for NFL All-Pro Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> edge rusher Maxx Crosby<\/a> that would have seen the Ravens part ways with their next 2 years of 1st round picks, Baltimore moved quickly to sign NFL All-Pro edge rusher Trey Hendrickson<\/a> to a 4-year, $112 million free-agent contract.<\/p>\n The Ravens had an up-close-and-personal look at Hendrickson the last 5 years as he dominated playing for their NFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cRavens and Trey Hendrickson reached agreement on a four-year, $112 million contract,\u201d\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter wrote<\/a> on his official X account on March 11. \u201cHendrickson stays in the AFC North, and now will be facing Joe Burrow<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Bengals<\/a>\u00a0twice a season \u2026 Trey Hendrickson\u2019s four-year deal worth up to $120 million with the Ravens includes $60 million fully guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus.
