Report: Rams trading Jones to Titans
The Los Angeles Rams are trading linebacker Ernest Jones to the Tennessee Titans, sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The Titans receive Jones and a 2026 sixth-round pick, while the Rams receive a 2026 fifth-round selection, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Jones led the Rams with 145 total tackles (14 for loss) in 2023. He also tallied 4.5 sacks and six pass deflections in 15 games.
Kenneth Murray and Jack Gibbens were expected to operate as the Titans' top off-ball linebackers before Jones' arrival. Backup Chance Campbell suffered a torn ACL in the team's final preseason contest.
Meanwhile, Christian Rozeboom, Troy Reeder, and Omar Speights sit atop Los Angeles' revamped depth chart.
The move comes after the Rams reportedly granted Jones permission to seek a trade over the weekend. However, the linebacker said he never requested to be dealt.
