The Seattle Seahawks are trading linebacker Jerome Baker and a fourth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for linebacker Ernest Jones IV, a source told ESPN’s Brady Henderson on Wednesday.
It’s the second trade set to be made by the Titans, who also are finalizing a trade of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
This is the second time Jones has been traded this year. The Titans acquired Jones from the Rams in August, sending a 2026 fifth-round pick to Los Angeles for Jones and a 2026 sixth-round selection.
Jones, 24, has 44 tackles this season, second on the Titans. Baker, in his first season with the Seahawks, has 37 tackles and a sack for Seattle.
Both Jones and Baker, 27, are scheduled to become free agents after this season. The Seahawks hope to keep Jones beyond this season, a source told Henderson.
Jones has 364 tackles in four seasons. Baker, who spent his first six seasons with the Miami Dolphins, has 624 tackles and 23.5 sacks in his career.
