Titans Go Radio Silent During Eventful Trade Deadline

The only buzzer-beating trade saw the New Orleans Saints trade offensive lineman Trevor Penning to the Los Angeles Chargers. Key Titans names such as Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Arden Key, Xavier Woods and T'Vondre Sweat, among many others, were brought up heavily in the last few days.

Clearly, the Titans' front office felt like they had enough to prepare them for the future. They likely couldn't find anyone who would take on Ridley's contract, but the 30-year-old, when healthy, is still a top receiver on this team.

Trading Pollard would've stung, though emerging running back Tyjae Spears has proved himself in recent weeks. After Pollard's performance against the Chargers, Mike McCoy and company believed it was in their best interest to keep him around.

Titans Defense Remains Intact

There's a real possibility their fifth-round pick from the Ravens becomes a fourth, but all they got out of this year was that pick and another conditional fifth-rounder. In the process, the only pick they gave up was a 2026 sixth rounder.

Trading two players for two late picks in 2026 isn't ideal, especially knowing they had more talent to dispose of. It's not like Titans fans wanted the team to make a million trades, but looking at the current state of the team, they have nothing to lose.

Tennessee failed to make any noise at the deadline which should in all honesty come as no surprise. This team is a disaster, and their lack of any real moves proves they don't have a plan to change things anytime soon. They don't have that tough of a schedule after their bye week, but don't expect this team to turn things around in their final eight games.
