The Rams, being the trade-heavy team that they are, interestingly traded the pick they acquired back to Tennessee. Needing cornerback depth midseason, Los Angeles sent Tennesseeâs fifth-round pick back in exchange for Roger McCreary and a sixth-round pick.
Can you guess the sixth-rounder that Tennessee gave up in return in the Roger McCreary deal? It was the Ramsâ original sixth-round pick. So, both teams ended up with their respective picks again across two separate deals.
Well, it was a rollercoaster for Jones, who was traded prior to the season in 2024 from the Rams to the Titans. Then, midseason, he got moved again to the Seattle Seahawks, where he quickly found a home and began to flourish. After a solid end to the 2024 season, Jones was rewarded with a three-year, $33 million extension and had his best year yet in 2025. The 26-year-old linebacker posted 126 tackles, seven pass breakups, four tackles for loss, and a whopping five interceptions en route to an All-Pro campaign. Itâs safe to say that, through all the trades, there was one team that clearly benefited from landing Jones.
When you look at the overall moves made, Los Angeles really didnât benefit much from the trades for Jones and McCreary. They didnât move up in the draft and didnât acquire much of a difference maker at cornerback last season. Of course, then you factor in that the Rams lost a starting-level linebacker, where theyâve been inconsistent over the years, and that same player ended up blossoming on a rival. Now, Jones wasnât the player he is currently two years ago. Thereâs been some significant growth. But the Seahawks seem to have quite a solid contract for the linebacker after trading for and extending him.
