Tennessee Titans remain silent on trade deadline day

The NFL Trade Deadline has come and gone, and the Tennessee titans chose not to make any transactions in the last days prior to the transaction.

While the Titans were quiet on deadline day, the team took several steps to look toward the future, trading Ernest Jones IV to the Seattle Seahawks And DeAndre Hopkins to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Titans received calls after these trades were made in recent weeks to see if other veterans like Sebastian Joseph-Day, Jeffery Simmons and Arden Key. However, the Titans trio will remain in Nashville for the time being.

The Titans continued to receive calls from Simmons today. according to Dianna Russini of The Athleticbut the team wasn’t ready to part with the first-round pick of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Tennessee’s deadline showed the team isn’t ready to take the next step. While the Titans made moves during the offseason that indicated the team was ready to take a step toward contention, the first half of the season has suggested the team isn’t there.

With a 2-6 record through eight games, the Titans are at the bottom of the NFL and there was reason for the team to continue trading. Either the Titans didn’t get enough offers for those who might have been available, or the team feels like these veterans could be part of the team’s future in the long run.

The Titans will continue with who they have for the rest of the season, hoping to improve on their two-win first half.

The team next plays against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 10. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:05 PM CT on FOX.
