Tennessee Titans should call Texans, Cardinals, Vikings, and others to trade for an EDGE

Guys I really wanted to put on, but can’t quite make sense of.

While there were four really strong candidates that fit the bill for what the Titans needed, there were a handful of other names that I tried to do mental gymnastics on to make it happen.

Ryan Kerrigan and Jonathan Allen, Washington Redskins

-Kerrigan is going to be in the Hall of Fame, or at least his stats suggest he should. The Washington Redskins are cash strapped and really don’t have much hope for competing for an NFC East title with their current roster. Still, I don’t think they would give up on having a lifelong Washington Redskin in the Hall of Fame.

-Jonathan Allen is so fun to watch and is finally hitting his stride, but the Redskins have so much money invested in the defensive line. With another high pick likely coming for Trent Williams, I don’t see a scenario where they make that move for a draft pick alone.

Jason Pierre-Paul, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

-The Bucs are terrible and spoiler alert, they are going to be bad this year too. With an offensive line to rival any of the worst in the NFL and an Bruce Arians offense that loves the deep ball, prepare for Jameis Winston to get obliterated.

So, again why would you trade an older EDGE on a team with no shot? The problem is that JPP had that crazy accident and has that neck issue, so I don’t know how the Titans could make a trade for him at all this season.

Deforest Buckner, San Francisco 49ers

-If Jimmy Garoppolo doesn’t pan out this year, then Buckner has to demand out right? As for now I don’t think there is a chance he gets traded, but I bet he is going to be really unhappy if this season goes poorly.

Yannick Ngakoue, Jacksonville Jaguars

-The Jacksonville Jaguars won’t pay one of the best EDGEs in the NFL and they don’t really have the money to pay him if they wanted to because they insisted on paying Nick Foles more money than he wanted to prove he was “good”.

Jerry Hughes, Buffalo Bills

-Please, just let Jerry Hughes go Buffalo. He wasn’t quite the prove EDGE that this list was about, but I would love to see him in Tennessee just to see him rush the passer on a defense that didn’t have to worry about being down by 14+ points by halftime every week.
