Titans blew key trade chances that could’ve fast-tracked their rebuild

Tuesday's NFL trade deadline welcomed a flurry of activity around the league. Rebuilding teams such as the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints did well to acquire future NFL Draft capital in hopes of accelerating their respective rebuilds. The Tennessee Titans largely failed to do the same.

The Titans did not make a trade on Tuesday prior to the deadline despite rostering a handful of players who were potential departure candidates. Roughly 24 hours before the deadline, general manager Mike Borgonzi sent Dre'Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick. The Titans needed more deals of that nature to materialize, with the likes of Tony Pollard, Arden Key, Chig Okonkwo, and Calvin Ridley qualifying as movable assets.
