The Tennessee Titans are are aggressive sellers at Tuesday's (Nov. 4) NFL trade deadline. On Monday evening, the Titans dealt veteran EDGE Dre'Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens. Another player who has been rumored to be available is tight end Chig Okonkwo. Okonkwo is on an expiring contract, and new general manager Mike Borgonzi hasn't shown public interest in re-signing him.
The Titans were in a similar situation with cornerback Roger McCreary. He was on an expiring contract as a player who was acquired by a previous GM. Borgonzi traded him to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a late-round pick swap in the 2026 NFL Draft. Jones is the latest Titan to be traded.
If the Titans are going to trade Okonkwo, a shiny new potential landing spot emerged over the weekend. The Green Bay Packers lost stud tight end Tucker Kraft to a season-ending torn ACL injury. The Packers are legitimate postseason contenders, and Okonkwo would fill the void left behind by Kraft's injury.
A new landing spot emerges for Titans TE Chig Okonkwo at NFL trade deadline
Kraft's injury creates a sizable need on Matt LaFleur's offense. Prior to going down, the former South Dakota State standout had registered 32 receptions for 489 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He was leading the Packers in every major receiving category.
Okonkwo has been productive as the Titans' move tight end and primary pass catcher at the position. Through nine appearances, he's accumulated 29 catches for 281 yards. The athletic Okonkwo would undeniably be more productive in a stellar Packers offense with Jordan Love at quarterback.
The Packers appear ill-equipped to replace Kraft in-house. Luke Musgrave, who was drafted alongside Kraft in 2023, has been injury prone and inconsistent across 2024 and 2025. The Packers are postseason-bound with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations. With the Titans potentially considering a similar return to the McCreary trade, Green Bay is a perfect landing spot for Okonkwo.
