SEA Ernest Jones IV
NFL player. Position: Linebacker (LB). Team: SEA.
Quick Facts
- Position: Linebacker
- Team: SEA (Seattle Seahawks)
- Notable: 2025 Super Bowl-winning Seahawks defense
2026 Outlook
Ernest Jones IV led Seattle's Super Bowl-winning defense with 126 tackles and added five interceptions—a strong profile for IDP consideration. However, much of his 2025 fantasy value came from those interceptions, which swing year to year more than tackles do. Analysts flag his low-end speed as a cap on his three-down upside. He also shares the field with Tyrice Knight and Drake Thomas, who both eat into the tackle share, suggesting a tackle floor closer to the mid-120s than top-five production (per Fantasy football IDP LB rankings & tiers: Boosting Cedric Gray).
Jones signed a three-year deal to stay with Seattle, ensuring his role remains secure heading into 2026.
