He was a member of the Rams’ squad that won the Super Bowl during the 2021 season.
Jones was traded to the Titans shortly before the start of the 2024 season.
Reed, 32, was a second-round pick by the Seahawks in 2016 and spent the first five seasons of his career in Seattle before spending single seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs (2021) and Green Bay Packers (2022).
Reed had a career-high 10.5 sacks for Seattle in 2018. He has recorded 33.5 of his 38.5 career sacks with the Seahawks.
