The Seattle Seahawks wanted Dre'Mont Jones in the Russell Wilson deal. They didn't get him.
Now the former Denver Broncos pass rusher is in Seattle, having signed with the Seahawks as a free agent. He's glad he's there. He wishes he would have been a year earlier.
Jones made his feelings clear while speaking with media on Monday for the first time as a member of the Seahawks.while speaking with reporters."I was included in the trade. Denver said no. And then, Denver kind of... I don't want to say that word. But Denver didn't pay me my proper respects. So, I'm here, because they respected me from the jump."
A third-round pick by the Broncos in 2019, Jones played his first four NFL seasons in Denver. He didn't sign a new deal before his rookie contract expired this offseason, a factor that may play into Jones' claim of not being respected. He instead signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Seahawks asJones tallied 22 sacks, 38 quarterback hits and 133 total tackles in his four seasons in Denver.
