Rams are closing in on a deal to trade linebacker Ernest Jones to Tennessee, AP sources say

Associated Press  

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Rams are working on a deal to trade linebacker Ernest Jones to the Tennessee Titans, two people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday. Jones was the Rams’ leading tackler and defensive signal-caller last season, and he was expected to be a key component of their defense again this fall as one of the NFL’s better interior linebackers. Although the trade still hadn’t been announced late Tuesday, Rams coach Sean McVay acknowledged during a teleconference that Jones is on his way out of Los Angeles after three seasons. Jones became a mainstay of the Rams’ defense two seasons ago, playing alongside Wagner for a year before taking over as the lynchpin in the middle of the lineup last season.
