NASHVILLE (AP) — The Tennessee Titans made their second trade Wednesday by swapping linebackers with Seattle, sending Ernest Jones to the Seahawks for linebacker Jerome Baker, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The deal also includes Seattle sending a fourth-round pick to Tennessee, a person with knowledge of the deal told the AP. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the teams haven't announced the trade.
That ends a very short stay in Tennessee for Jones, who was traded by the Rams to the Titans in late August. He is in the final year of his rookie contract after leading the Rams in tackles last season where he also was their defensive signal-caller. Jones started five of his six games with Tennessee.
The Jones' trade alone nets the Titans a fourth-round pick in April and a sixth-rounder in 2026 along with Baker at the cost of a fifth-rounder in 2026. Baker, 27, has started 87 of his 99 games and signed a one-year deal with Seattle in March.
Earlier Wednesday, Tennessee agreed to a deal sending three-time All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs needing to replenish a position group ravaged by injuries.
