The NFL trade deadline is at 3 p.m. CT Tuesday, meaning teams like the Tennessee Titans will have their final opportunity this week to sell off pieces to contenders in exchange for developmental assets and future draft picks.
The Titans (1-8) are expected to be among the league’s major sellers at the deadline, reflecting trends that have continued throughout the season. The team already has made two in-season trades, shipping cornerbacks Roger McCreary and Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to the Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets, respectively, turning sixth- and seventh-round picks into fifth- and sixth-round picks via pick swaps.
Tuesday morning, the Titans officially announced a third trade, moving outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones to Baltimore in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick.
The Titans, losers of four in a row, are on their bye week. They have plenty of veterans on short contracts who make sense as potential trade pieces. Follow below for live updates on the latest news, rumors and trades across the league.
Titans trade deadline rumors, news
Here are the latest happenings with Tennessee around the NFL trade deadline.
The 3 p.m. NFL trade deadline has came and went without the Titans sneaking in one last trade. The Tennessean can report the Titans are not believed to have completed any deals before the deadline.
The Titans haven’t made any additional moves on Tuesday following the Dre’Mont Jones trade Monday, and they’re running out of time to make one before day’s end.
The Tennessee Titans and the rest of the league’s teams only have an hour left to make trades before the deadline hits at 3 p.m. CT. Any trades that aren’t filed and agreed upon by that time cannot be made, and rosters will be essentially set until the end of the season.
ESPN NFL analyst Booger McFarland has questions about what the Titans’ intentions are with the trade deadline less than 90 minutes away, especially in the shadow of the Quinnen Williams trade while Jeffery Simmons remains on roster.
I wonder what Tennessee is thinking about Jeffrey Simmons ? They aren’t close to winning and they could get a 1 and something for him

According to a report from NFL Network, the Dallas Cowboys are acquiring Pro Bowl defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets, sending off “a first-round pick and more” in the deal. That makes three first-round picks the Jets have acquired in one day, and shows the Jets’ willingness to move on from a cornerstone player at a quasi-premium position that the Titans otherwise haven’t been interested in.
Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Cleveland Browns are sending DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to the Chicago Bears in a late-round pick swap, and per multiple media reports the Seahawks added WR Rashid Shaheed from New Orleans. Neither directly prevent the Titans from making another trade, but Chicago was reportedly the team most aggressively pursuing a pass rusher, and the Seahawks were a natural contender to add a receiver. Both of those avenues seem to be stopped up now.
Multiple media outlets are reporting that the Indianapolis Colts, the Titans’ rivals in the AFC South, are trading two first-round picks to the New York Jets to acquire All Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner. This matters for a couple reasons. One: The Titans’ division just got that much harder. And two: If the Titans end up with the No. 1 pick in the draft again this year, the QB-needy Jets just added some extra ammunition to package and move up to get their franchise player. Hard not to see that aspect of this as a win for the Titans, but it’s also possible that the Jets could out-lose the Titans this year and get that No. 1 pick on their own anyway.
The Titans will receive a fourth-round pick from the Ravens in the Dre’Mont Jones trade if Jones has two sacks during the rest of the season and Baltimore makes the playoffs, a source confirmed to The Tennessean. Otherwise, Tennessee gets a fifth-round pick.
Interesting condition on the Ravens/Titans trade: If Dre’Mont Jones has at least two sacks over the rest of the regular season, and Baltimore makes the playoffs, Tennessee gets a fourth-round pick, rather than a fifth-rounder, from the Ravens.

The Titans have officially announced the Jones trade, receiving a conditional fifth-round pick that can turn into a fourth-round pick. The fifth-round pick, under its current conditions, originally belonged to the New York Jets.
Titans on the trade block
Each of the following Titans players either have been rumored to be on the trade block or make sense as possible trade options: RB Tony Pollard, WR Calvin Ridley, TE Chig Okonkwo, OL Kevin Zeitler, DL T’Vondre Sweat, DL Sebastian Joseph-Day, OLB Arden Key, OLB Jihad Ward, S Quandre Diggs.
The Titans got a head start ahead of the deadline on Monday evening by trading Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional Day 3 draft pick, a source told The Tennessean.
Here are the stats this year for some of the players the Titans may be making available to potential buyers:
RB Tony Pollard: 119 carries, 480 yards, 2 TDs, 19 catches, 143 yardsWR Calvin Ridley: 16 catches, 290 yardsTE Chig Okonkwo: 29 catches, 281 yardsOLB Jihad Ward: 17 tackles, 3.5 sacksDT T’Vondre Sweat: 13 tackles, 2 sacksOLB Arden Key: 6 tackles, 1 sack
Reporter Mike Giardi of the Boston Sports Journal wrote that he’s heard rumors about the Titans being unwilling to make trades with the New England Patriots out of Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk’s unwillingness to help former Titans coach and current Patriots head honcho Mike Vrabel’s new team. If that’s the case, consider that an interesting limitation.
Titans trade deadline options
Titans executives Chad Brinker and Mike Borgonzi have been open about wanting to add draft capital. So far, through the two in-season trades, the team hasn’t added draft picks so much as it has improved draft picks via swaps with other teams.
Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons is the Titans’ most valuable asset to trade; he’ll likely return a first-round pick and possibly more if the Titans deal him. But that situation seems unlikely, per The Tennessean and various media outlets.
A blockbuster move! The New York Jets are reportedly sending cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Indianapolis Colts, per multiple national news outlets. Gardner has already posted on social media that he’s on his way out. The Jets are also receiving WR AD Mitchell in the trade, per reports.The New Orleans Saints have reportedly dealt receiver Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks per multiple reports, reuniting Shaheed with his former offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak.The Philadelphia Eagles have reportedly landed edge defender Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a third-round draft pick.

Read more here.The Jaguars and Raiders have a deal in place for Jacksonville to acquire receiver Jakobi Meyers, according to multiple media reports.
Speaking to reporters on Monday afternoon, McCoy said he has been in “constant communication” with Borgonzi and Brinker.
“From the beginning of the offseason program up through the entire season, this is what you do. There’s constant communication on the roster every day of the season,” McCoy said. “We’re always talking about things that could come up, who’s inactive this week. You’re always talking about your roster.”
