"The Patriots hope that Jones will impact their pass-rush game similarly to the way he did for Baltimore last season. According to ESPN, Jones had 15 quarterback hits during his nine games with the Ravens, which was the most on the team during that time frame. The report also mentioned 'relentlessness' and 'swagger' among the qualities that made him a fit for Baltimore."
"New England's pass-rush could use an upgrade. The Patriots were 26th in sacks in 2025, 26th in pressures, and 29th in hurries. Harold Landry, who led the team in sacks last season, remains under contract for next season."
"Jones played at Ohio State from 2015-2018 before the Broncos picked him in the third round of the 2019 Draft. Vrabel was hired by the Texans in 2014, so he was gone by the time Jones arrived in Columbus. Jones signed with the Titans as a free-agent last offseason. Vrabel was with the Patriots preparing for his first season as New England's head coach."
The New England Patriots acquired edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones to strengthen their pass-rush defense, which ranked 26th in sacks, 26th in pressures, and 29th in hurries during the 2025 season. Jones previously played for the Baltimore Ravens, where he recorded 15 quarterback hits in nine games, leading the team during that span. He demonstrated relentlessness and swagger that made him effective for Baltimore. Jones attended Ohio State University from 2015-2018 and was drafted by Denver in 2019. He later signed with Tennessee as a free agent. Though both Jones and Patriots coach Mike Vrabel have Ohio State and Titans connections, they never overlapped at either program.
