Ex-Broncos DL Dre’Mont Jones expected to sign with Seahawks

The Seahawks are expected to sign former Broncos DL Dre’Mont Jones to a three-year deal.

Former Denver Broncos defensive tackle Dre’Mont Jones is expected to sign with the Seattle Seahawks, according to multiple insiders. The Score’s Jordan Schultz first reported the news.

It’s a three-year deal worth $51 million, according to NFL Network’s James Palmer.

Jones (6-3, 281 pounds) entered the league as a third-round pick out of Ohio State with the Broncos in 2019. He quickly made an impact as a rotational defensive lineman as a rookie, totaling six quarterback hits, 3.5 sacks, two pass breakups and one interception in 14 games (one start).

Jones saw his snaps increase in 2020 and he totaled 11 QB hits and 6.5 sacks in 13 games (eight starts). The defensive lineman had similar production (11 QB hits and 5.5 sacks) in 16 games in 2021.

Last year, Jones missed four games due to injury but still totaled a career-high 47 tackles and matched his career-highs for sacks (6.5). He has recorded 133 tackles, 38 QB hits and 22 sacks in four seasons (56 games) in Denver.

The Broncos found their replacement for Jones in defensive lineman Zach Allen, who agreed to a three-year, $45.75 million deal, including $32.5 million guaranteed, on Monday.

DK Metcalf on Seahawks’ offensive woes: ‘Teams just started to figure us out’

DK Metcalf joined former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall on the “I Am Athlete” podcast to discuss what went wrong with the Seattle Seahawks’ offense in the second half of the 2020 season.
“Teams just started to figure us out,” Metcalf said. “We’ve been running deep pass, ever since Pete [Carroll] got there. Play-action. Run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, go deep. Teams just said, ‘We’re just not gonna let you all go deep.’”.
Indeed, numerous teams constantly threw the Seahawks two-deep looks to eliminate shot plays, and it worked.
The Seahawks must work to maximize the talent they have on offense and find ways around the two-deep looks if they want to have any chance of competing for a title in 2021
