The big news for the Seattle Seahawks at linebacker Wednesday was the announcement of the trade that sends linebacker $7M free agent acquisition Jerome Baker and a 2025 Day 3 pick to the Tennessee Titans, but that was not all the Hawks did at the position.
In addition to adding Ernest Jones, a skilled and talented former starting linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams, general manager John Schneider also claimed a former Baltimore Ravens linebacker off the waiver wire.
