After welcoming back star quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens can’t stop getting help for the second half of the 2025 NFL season. The AFC North franchise is on a positive trajectory following Jackson’s return to action after sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 4.
They kicked off Week 9 with a 28-6 win over the Miami Dolphins, with Jackson going off with 18 completions on 23 attempts for 204 yards and four touchdowns. At 3-5, the season is far from over for the Ravens, who can take advantage of the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills’ inconsistencies to take over the AFC.
The Ravens made a trade ahead of the 2025 trade deadline, picking up defensive lineman Dre’Mont Jones from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a conditional fifth-rounder, insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday.
Ravens would send a better pick to Titans under two conditions
Dre’Mont Jones put up a solid performance against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 9. The linebacker recorded four tackles and 1.5 sacks against Justin Herbert. The Titans couldn’t move past the Chargers (27-20), but Jones left Nissan Stadium with a strong performance.
Tom Pelissero reported that if Jones has two sacks for the rest of the season and the Ravens advance to the postseason, Baltimore will send a fourth-round pick to the Titans.
Jones, 28, has recorded at least one sack in the last four games, which is a good sign for his former and new team. Baltimore lost Nnamdi Madubuike with a neck injury a month ago, and Jones could bring that spark the defense needs.
