The Tennessee Titans lost in walkoff fashion in Week 7, 27-24 to the Cleveland Browns. The latest shortcoming brings the Titans' record to 1-6. With the NFL trade deadline approximately two weeks away, that's notable for GM Mike Borgonzi.
The Titans currently possess the No. 2 overall selection according to the real-time 2027 NFL Draft order. It's plausible Borgonzi would want to acquire more picks to accelerate the rebuilding process. The upcoming trade deadline presents the best opportunity to do that.
We've identified six Titans players who could draw trade interest around the league. The Week 7 defeat to the Browns could increase Borgonzi's willingness to be a seller at the deadline.
6 Titans players who could be traded before the deadline after Week 7 loss
RB Tony Pollard
Veteran running back Tony Pollard is undeniably the team's most tradeable asset and interest around the league could increase following Sunday's performance. It was arguably his best as a Titan. Pollard rushed for 129 yards and three touchdowns while averaging over 5.0 yards per attempt. He's a starting-caliber back on an expiring contract.
WR Calvin Ridley
Calvin Ridley missed Sunday's contest with an injury, but it doesn't appear to be a long-term concern. The veteran wideout hasn't been consistently involved on offense, but he's been a victim of an ineffective approach. Ridley is still running crisp routes and getting open on tape. A WR-needy offense like the Los Angeles Rams would make sense in a trade.
RB Tyjae Spears
Tyjae Spears was also inactive on Sunday due to a minor injury. The athletic scatback is a specialized playmaker. Spears could help a playoff-bound offense as a pass-catching back who thrives in picking up protection assignments. He's also on an expiring contract.
DE Jermaine Johnson II
Postseason contenders love trading for veteran pass rushers on expiring contracts. Titans defensive end Jermaine Johnson II fits that description perfectly. Johnson is a stout run defender, and he's been improving as a pass rusher lately, with three sacks on the campaign. He's playing out his fifth-year rookie contract option right now.
DE Jacob Martin
Jacob Martin was brought to Tennessee partially for his familiarity with Coach Saleh's defensive scheme. It's also worth noting he's signed through next season. Martin is playing quality football on a team-friendly contract. That likely means the Titans prefer to keep him through the trade deadline, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's some league-wide interest in his services.
LB Cody Barton
Experienced linebacker Cody Barton began the season as a surprise starter, but he's starting to lose reps and influence to Cedric Gray. That was the expectation heading into the campaign. Barton is a sound tackler and excellent communicator for a defense looking for linebacker help.
