Linebacker Ernest Jones IV is set to be traded from the Los Angeles Rams to the Tennessee Titans due to a contract standoff. Despite helping the Rams reach the playoffs and leading in tackles last season, his time with the team ends unexpectedly.

The trade follows discussions about his final rookie year. Jones had expressed confidence in his performance securing a future with the Rams but faced challenges during the offseason and training camp due to a knee injury. Coach Sean McVay clarified that his absence was not contract-related.
