In this story:

We're now just a little over four hours out from the NFL trade deadline. At this point, we've exhausted our predictive brains and are waiting on the Tennessee Titans to either make a move or stand pat when the 3:00 PM CT cutoff strikes.

As of this morning, our latest update came in the form of a confirmation from Jordan Schultz: Tennessee is not looking to move RB Tony Pollard. He's become almost too crucial to Cam Ward and the offense to be sent packing at the midway point this season.

However, it's worth noting that Albert Breer said it would take "at least a fourth-rounder, and maybe a third" to get Pollard out of Nashville. Breer also admitted that Tennessee "won't give him away," but a different source setting a price there is notable.

If the Colts ultimately refuse to trade Jonathan Taylor, Pollard's value could skyrocket at the buzzer. Past Pollard, the Titans' outlook is mostly up in the air. WR Calvin Ridley still looks like a definite possibility, while S Amani Hooker also appears to be in the currently safe camp with Pollard.

That trio set aside, DE Jermaine Johnson is a name fans should keep an eye on. There has been minimal noise surrounding Johnson, but he's in the final year of his contract and could be argued as an asset worth moving for the Titans to stack more draft capital. LB Cody Barton should be tabbed for similar reasons.

It's straw-grasping from there. We'll keep you looped in as news comes in today, Titans fans. Check back here for the latest.

Live Updates:

(12:21 PM) Could Mitch Trubisky be a surprise candidate for the Vikings?

Adam Schefter reported that the Vikings have "begun making calls" earlier today in search of a QB. With Kyler Murray injured and Carson Wentz leading the team to an underwhelming loss in primetime last night, could Mitch Trubisky be a sneaky option?

The Titans have already made it clear that Cam Ward is the guy from here on out; if something were to happen that Ward loses his starting gig next season, it isn't like Trubisky would then step into the starting spotlight for the long haul.

Trubisky is a veteran QB who has been biding time on Tennessee's bench all season. In the midst of today's ongoing dry spell of news, it's worth keeping a possibility like this in the back of our minds. If Minnesota goes shopping, a multi-year signal caller with no current shot at playing is prime trade material.

The Titans could realistically make this happen, even if Trubisky's name has yet to come up.

(12:38 PM) Keenan Allen Trade Potentially Sets Price for Calvin Ridley

Per Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport, the Colts are sending WR Keenan Allen to the San Francisco 49ers for a sixth-round pick.

For those keeping an eye on Ridley's market, the Titans' ask of a sixth-rounder for Ridley appears to be right on the money, if not a little expensive now given Allen's superior production. With the 49ers off the board for Ridley, the Chiefs and Steelers are two teams to watch closely.

The deadline is about two hours out now. A move like this could light the fuse for more momentum at the WR position, and Ridley now even more centered in that pool of players.

(1:14 PM) Titans Trade S Amani Hooker to Bills for second and fifth-round pick

Per Tom Pelissero, the Titans have traded S Amani Hooker to the Buffalo Bills. Tennessee will reportedly return a second-round pick, and send the Bills a fifth.

We talked about undeniable offers potentially prying players that the Titans didn't want to trade, and Buffalo delivered just that. For a 28-year old defender, a second-round snag would've been hard for Tennessee to turn down.

Although, the move does mark the loss of the NFL's leader in INTs (five) and another one of the Titans' most notable defensive leaders. Robert Saleh's unit takes another serious hit, but the franchise are loading up on draft value for a fast-tracked rebuild.

Post-Deadline Recap

The Hooker trade ended up being the final move Tennessee would make prior to the deadline. Jordan Schultz reported that both the Broncos and Giants were interested in Pollard, but the Titans held firm to their belief that he's pivotal to Cam Ward's development.

That hold makes sense. Holding Calvin Ridley, on the other hand, is a loss for Tennessee. After being heavily mentioned all week, Ridley didn't get so much as a mention until four minutes prior to the deadline. That was when Albert Breer said he (as well as Pollard) wouldn't be traded.

Looking back, the Titans dealt arguably their two best defenders. The offensive side of the ball went untouched. Tennessee will be three early picks richer heading into the second half of the 2026 season.

Not a promising omen for the final nine games this year, but the Titans will have a better chance than most low-ranking teams to improve quickly in the next few seasons.
