The best in-season decision the Seattle Seahawks made in 2024 was acquiring linebacker Ernest Jones IV from the Tennessee Titans in a trade deadline deal. Jones arrived in Seattle and completely transformed their struggling off-ball linebacker room.

The middle linebacker transformed Seattle’s defense after his trade in late October. The Seahawks’ next task is to keep him.

Ernest Jones IV, the Seahawks' standout linebacker who is set to hit free-agency, is hoping to stay in Seattle: "Coaches like me; I love it here. I would love to be here."

Ernest Jones IV was fresh off his trade from the Tennessee Titans when the Seattle Seahawks hit their bye in early November, so as many of his new teammates were getting away for the week off, the fourth-year inside linebacker was still moving in.

With his contract set to expire, Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV made it known he wants to remain with the team.
