titans make bold roster move after nfl trade deadline shakeup

The Tennessee Titans' rebuild is seemingly farther behind schedule than even many anticipated, with the team needing an incomprehensible fourth-quarter collapse by the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5 to earn their first and currently... Action is required amid the persistent growing pains. First-year general manager Mike Borgonzi remains focused on reshaping the roster, as demonstrated by the organization's decision to cut ties with Quandre Diggs. Tennessee released the three-time Pro Bowl safety on Friday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. A split was speculated leading up to the trade deadline and became inevitable after the Titans claimed Jerrick Reed II off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks earlier in the week. Diggs will now go on waivers himself.

Seattle, the place where the 32-year-old reached the peak of his career, is a plausible landing spot. Other teams could also value the experience and depth he can bring to a secondary. Those qualities should be of value to Tennessee as well, but given the franchise's current state, this union no longer made much sense. Sometimes, a shakeup is necessary for both parties. After the Titans traded edge rusher Dre'Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional fifth-round draft pick, they are making additional changes to their defense. These moves will not help the squad in the present, but they could prove beneficial in the long run.

In the meantime, rookie quarterback Cam Ward must make some progress during the remainder of the campaign in order to give fans genuine reason for optimism moving forward. His cousin, Quandre Diggs, will also look to salvage the season as he prepares for his next chapter. The 2015 sixth-rounder recorded 17 solo tackles and one pass breakup in nine games with Tennessee this year Among the moves: Receiver Bryce Oliver and edge rusher Ali Gaye have been activated off Injured Reserve. A sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Harris played in 14 games for the Titans this season. Harris was credited with 25 tackles, two quarterback pressures, one tackle for a loss and five passes defensed.

Also on Saturday, the Titans announced defensive back Kemon Hall will be a gameday elevation for the practice squad for Sunday's game vs the Chiefs This designation opens up a three-week window for all three players to practice with the team, and they will not count against the team's 53-man roster until being activated from Injured Reserve. Dellinger, waived on Monday by Cleveland, initially entered the NFL as a seventh-round pick of the Ravens in the 2025 draft. An integral part of yearly trade deadline conversations around the NFL is an involved team's outlook given their seasonal progress up to that point. For the 1-8 Tennessee Titans, it's all about what comes after right now, because right now is about as unbearable as it gets for a fanbase that has long been in wait for success. In addition to moving a key defensive piece ahead of the deadline, in exchange for some draft capital, the Titans are gearing up for bigger roster additions in the near future with one of...

The team's timing, even at the expense of a second notch in the win column, couldn't be any better. As frustrating as it is for those aforementioned fans to watch through the process, having a bevy of rookies (mostly on offense) and young talent in place already bodes well for the remaining money... Heading towards another rebuild under whatever head coaching candidate is chosen to replace Brian Callahan, the franchise may have to wait until that name is made official to shift any major sand regarding the... Even so, taking a look at the numbers, it's hard not to be excited by the outlook. #Titans will also have $108 million in 2026 cap space (2nd most in the NFL) per OverTheCap’s projections. That number will balloon to at least $133 million when they part ways with Ridley and Sneed.

Could hit $140 million if they move on from Pollard too.Big changes coming… https://t.co/gDgmdA4OOq The Tennessee Titans wrapped up the preseason on Friday night with a 23-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings. It brought their preseason record to 2-1 and gave the team an aura of hope heading into the regular season. While many Titans starters played on Friday, the organization also gave players who are roster hopefuls one last chance to make an impression before roster cuts. The Titans have until Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET to trim their roster to 53 players.

With 90 players on their active roster, that means 37 players must be waived, cut, released, or placed on injured reserve (IR). Our Titans Wire team will provide live coverage of the Titans' cuts and moves. Check out every roster move below: Ross was undoubtedly the Titans' best undrafted corner. The return of L'Jarius Sneed and the improvement of some of the more veteran players mean they simply don't have a spot for him right now. (link)

Tennessee Titans fans were thrilled when the team hired Mike Borgonzi to be their new GM. There have been some ups (Day 3 of the rookie class) and some downs (free agency), but it is clear that he and Chad Brinker are going to have full control over this rebuilding... One thing we learned about that process is that Brinker and Borgonzi are rebuilding the roster in their vision while tearing it down to the studs. Players like Jeffery Simmons and Peter Skoronski are among the few players in the team's long-term plans who weren't acquired by the new people in charge. Meanwhile everyone else is on borrowed time. The front office has also emphasized that anyone who isn't under contract through 2026 is on the trade block.

They are even willing to take relatively low trade value to move them. There is one difficult decision Borgonzi has to make ahead of Tuesday's deadline. For the most part, you can separate the Titans roster into two categories: "Borgonzi-approved players" and everyone else. However, one player who lands right in the middle of this Venn diagram is EDGE Dre'Mont Jones. Jones was signed to a one-year deal with the Titans to round out their depleted EDGE group. The seasoned veteran has really come into his own over the last month with four-straight games with a sack.

He has been a consistent force on the outside, and he has the size and power that Borgonzi values. The Tennessee Titans began the process of trimming their roster ahead of the NFL's mandatory 53-player cut deadline by parting ways with 16 players on Monday. According to the Titans reporter Jim Wyatt, the players waived by the Titans on Monday include: Additionally, wide receiver Matt Landers has a "waived/injured" status right now. Among the releases, Mustipher stands out. He has experience with multiple teams over recent seasons.

Mustipher appeared in 12 games with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024, starting once. Seems like many of the cuts signal a focus on younger talent and positional depth. The NFL trade deadline is at 3 p.m. CT Tuesday, meaning teams like the Tennessee Titans will have their final opportunity this week to sell off pieces to contenders in exchange for developmental assets and future draft picks. The Titans (1-8) are expected to be among the league's major sellers at the deadline, reflecting trends that have continued throughout the season. The team already has made two in-season trades, shipping cornerbacks Roger McCreary and Jarvis Brownlee Jr.

to the Los Angeles Rams and New York Jets, respectively, turning sixth- and seventh-round picks into fifth- and sixth-round picks via pick swaps. Tuesday morning, the Titans officially announced a third trade, moving outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones to Baltimore in exchange for a conditional fifth-round pick. The Titans, losers of four in a row, are on their bye week. They have plenty of veterans on short contracts who make sense as potential trade pieces. Follow below for live updates on the latest news, rumors and trades across the league. Here are the latest happenings with Tennessee around the NFL trade deadline.

The Tennessee Titans are once again making noise this offseason with a flurry of roster activity that includes adding Amari Burney, signing Carlos Watkins and Amani Oruwariye, and parting ways with a pair of... The latest wave of Titans roster moves shows Tennessee's commitment to shoring up its defense heading into 2025. Tennessee, first in the NFL's claiming order, made headlines by taking Burney off waivers after he was cut by the Las Vegas Raiders. Burney, a 2023 sixth-round pick out of Florida, played in all 17 games for the Raiders last season, finishing with 27 tackles, three tackles for loss, a quarterback hit, and a forced fumble. At 6-foot-2 and 228 pounds, Burney brings youth, athleticism, and upside to the Titans' linebacker room. Jim Wyatt of TennesseeTitans.com broke the news on X, formerly Twitter.

“The @Titans have been awarded linebacker Amari Burney (@amari_burney) off waivers. The Titans have waived cornerback Garnett Hollis Jr.”
