Is Jones an upgrade? Don't know much about him.

Just read where last year he had an 80+ run grade and lead linebackers in pressures? It was a fleeting twitter post so can’t confirm that. I’m excited either way and seems like they’re trying to win

Upgrade, but of course will be a FA after this season.

He was on the Rams and caused us issues if I remember right. He's a run stopper and solid rusher too. Only 24 yrs old and a free agent next year. 4th is a high price to pay so maybe they wanted him but Rams wouldn't deal in the division last year? We shall see! I love that they are doing things to improve!

According to Tom Pelissero, "Trade! The Seahawks are sending LB Jerome Baker and a fourth-round draft pick to the Titans for LB Ernest Jones IV, per sources."

The Seahawks are trading Jerome Baker and a fourth-round pick to the Titans for Ernes Jones IV.

If it improves our run defense I’m all for it. I’m a bit wary of the win now trading though. I don’t think we are ready yet but hopefully he does a good job and ends up sticking around long enough to see success here.

Also heard they are trading Hopkins to the chiefs. Titans seem to be calling it a season.

Fine with trying something different but annoying he's out of contract at the end of the season

This is a great trade, sheesh! Tremendous run defender and pass rusher, consistently graded highly. Comes from a fairly similar scheme in Tennessee. Second level run defense has been atrocious, MM repeatedly highlights the DL for doing their job most of the time. Was wondering when MM would get JS to make some changes there.

JS should confirm that his LB FA signing have so far turned to shit.

Man I love this love! Macdonald had to go out and get his linebacker in Baltimore so maybe he’s recreating something similar here. That defense took off once he had Smith along with Queen.

A 4th rounder? Smash move for me

I hadn't realized the titans got him for a 6th round pick just a few months ago. Not sure the Rams would deal with us though
