NFL Trade Rumors
Ravens
Baltimore added DL Dre’Mont Jones from the Titans to bolster a pass rush that is near the bottom of the league with just 11 sacks. Ravens HC John Harbaugh thinks he’s a perfect scheme fit and anticipates him making his debut in Week 10.
“I think he can help a lot, we’re really happy with it,” Harbaugh said, via the team’s website. “He’s a good fit for us. The system he’s been in the last three years is the same system. He picks it up quickly. He’s a really good fit style of play wise. We absolutely will get him weaved into it right away and he’ll be playing on Sunday.”
Steelers WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling said he jumped at the opportunity to continue his career with QB Aaron Rodgers, who he has a great relationship with.
“He’s the best that ever played this game, man,” Valdes-Scantling said, via ESPN. “So it’s pretty easy when you got that guy under center and just being on the same page. We built a great rapport over the four years that we got to play together, and he’s one of my closest friends in this NFL thing that I’ve ever made. He’s taught me a lot, so just being able to be around him again and get some more knowledge four years later, I’m excited about it.”
Valdes-Scantling said it was a “joint effort” between him and Rodgers to bring him to Pittsburgh.
“He called, and we talked about it a couple times, and he said he would love to have me here, made his pitch, and it was down to the wire, to be honest,” Valdes-Scantling said. “I was already on the West Coast, so it was kind of easier to stay over there moving around and stuff. But going back home for a week and get reset and I said, ‘Hey man, I want to keep playing this thing.’ And gave Aaron a call and he was like, ‘let’s do it.‘”
