Bills upgrading secondary with trade for safety Amani Hooker

The Buffalo Bills have established themselves as one of the NFL's top teams through the first half of the season, but even a 7-1 start doesn't mean that everything has been perfect.

Buffalo's glaring weakness has been a secondary unit that is allowing the fourth most passing yards per game (238.8) this season. With an outstanding roster and a clear chance at making a Super Bowl, the Bills made a trade Tuesday that should greatly help the back end of their defense.

Buffalo Bills acquiring safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans

As first reported by NFL insider Tom Pelissero, Buffalo has acquired safety Amani Hooker and a fifth-round pick from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick.

Hooker was drafted by Tennessee in 2019 and has spent his entire NFL career with the franchise. He's got 17 career interceptions, three of which came just two weeks ago against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals.

Now, he heads to a Buffalo team that has championship aspirations and he'll be expected to be a key part of what the Bills hope can be an improved defense.
