Dre'Mont Jones Says Broncos 'Didn't Pay Me My Proper Respects' After Joining Seahawks

Former Denver Broncos defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones feels the franchise disrespected him after failing to include him in the Russell Wilson trade and proceeding to not extend his contract this offseason.

Before the 2022 campaign, the Seattle Seahawks traded Wilson to the Broncos in exchange for Drew Lock, Noah Fant, Shelby Harris and several draft picks. Seattle wanted Jones included in the deal, but Denver declined.

The Broncos then failed to extend Jones' contract this offseason, and the 26-year-old went on to sign a three-year, $51 million contract with the Seahawks.

"I mean, s--t, they should have just traded me from the jump," Jones said of the Broncos, via Greg Bell of The News Tribune.
