STM Take

Tier 5 (#35) 2021 Broncos peak to three straight tier 8 finishes (2023-2025) plus the $51M Seahawks contract creates a significant contract-vs-STTM gap. The Ohio State Big Ten pedigree plus the multi-team journeyman path gives him real veteran value. The 2026 question is whether Jones returns to tier 6-7 territory with Baltimore or whether the structural late-career decline closes the chapter.

Jones came out of Ohio State as the Denver Broncos' 3rd-round pick (71st overall) in 2019 and spent four years in Denver before signing a three-year, $51M deal with the Seattle Seahawks in 2023 free agency. He was traded to the Baltimore Ravens in 2025. His STTM career runs tier 5 (#35) in 2021 Broncos peak, tier 8 (#83) in 2023 with Seattle, tier 8 (#69) in 2024, and tier 8 (#74) in 2025 with Baltimore.

Strengths

Ohio State Big Ten pedigree plus seven years of NFL survival across three systems gives him real veteran market value.
Position flexibility (interior and EDGE) gives him roster value across multiple defensive schemes.

Concerns

Three straight tier 8 finishes (2023-2025) after the 2021 tier 5 peak creates major contract-value gap relative to the $51M Seahawks deal.
Multi-team career arc plus age 28 plus the structural tier 8 baseline puts the late-career closure question on every 2026 projection.

What to watch: Whether Jones returns to tier 6 (top 50) in 2026 with Baltimore, the threshold for confirming the structural ceiling can be recaptured.
