Per NFL.com

With Daron Payne getting the franchise tag in Washington, a lot of the defensive line focus in free agency will be on veteran Javon Hargrave, who is set to bank another lucrative contract at age 30. But Jones -- a third-round pick in 2019 who only became a full-time starter in Denver last season -- could end up being one of the biggest winners in the open market. He has 22 sacks in 56 career games (29 starts) and was just enjoying his best pro campaign before suffering a season-ending hip injury in Week 14. Per PFF, Jones generated 45 total pressures (tied for 11th among interior DL) with a 10.6 pressure percentage (11th, min. 200 pass rushes) in 2022, while also racking up 6.5 sacks. Jones figures to have multiple suitors, which could drive the price to the $18 million-per-year range.
 
Shelby Harris is gone.. no one on our front 7 last year was worth keeping for 9 million. DreMont Jones has 6.5 sacks last year, 4 from the EDGE and 2.5 from the interior. He can provide pressure from the 3-4 in the interior or can move outside and has some bend. I like this signing personally..
