Could the Titans Keep Selling Before Tuesday’s Trade Deadline?
With the 2025 NFL trade deadline set for Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, speculation is mounting about which teams will make major moves down the stretch. The Tennessee Titans, sitting at 1-7 and already having parted ways with head coach Brian Callahan, appear open for business.
According to Sports Illustrated, former Melrose High School (TN) standout Tony Pollard may be on the trading block ahead of the November 4 NFL trade deadline, and the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots could be a perfect fit for the veteran running back. Pollard’s combination of speed, versatility, and proven production makes him an intriguing option for Kansas City and New England.
As the Titans continue to explore trade options in a rebuilding season, Pollard’s name has surfaced as one to watch in the final days before the deadline.
Calvin Ridley is also Drawing Interest
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that veteran wide receiver Calvin Ridley has emerged as a potential trade target for several playoff contenders. While the 30-year-old signed a four-year, $92 million deal in March 2024, his production has been limited by a lingering hamstring injury that will sideline him for a third straight game this weekend. Despite the setback, Ridley remains the Titans’ leading receiver with 16 catches for 290 yards, making him a valuable addition for any team in need of a proven route-runner and vertical threat.
Defensive Names in Play
The Titans are also drawing calls on several defensive players, including Arden Key, Dre’Mont Jones, and rookie standout T’Vondre Sweat. Jones has been one of the few bright spots in a tough season, while Sweat, the 38th overall pick in the 2024 draft, has already made an impression with 10 tackles and two sacks in three games.
What’s Next for Tennessee?
Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers could determine the Titans’ final approach before the deadline. If the struggles continue, Tennessee could opt for a complete roster reset, prioritizing draft capital and cap flexibility heading into 2026.
With ownership evaluating every option and general manager Mike Borgonzi considering the franchise’s long-term direction, the next 48 hours could mark a pivotal turning point for a team in transition.
