Seattle Times’ Bob Condotta reports Seahawks LB Ernest Jones IV had offseason knee surgery.

Jones reportedly had surgery to clean up knee issues he was having last season. He is a pending free agent that the Seahawks have interest in re-signing, but physicals post-surgery may slow down Jones’ free agency process. The 25-year-old tallied 138 combined tackles, four tackles for loss, four passes defended and an interception playing for the Titans and Seahawks last season. Jones became a key starter at linebacker down the stretch, and Seattle may not want to let him leave by the time free agency rolls around.
