Titans turned 2025 trades into multiple potential starters

The Tennessee Titans suffered through a dismal 2025 season, which led to significant changes throughout the organization. During the season, general manager Mike Borgonzi made a few trades to add draft capital to support the rebuild, and those trades are now complete.

During the season, the Titans traded Jarvis Brownlee, Dre’Mont Jones, and Roger McCreary at different stages, and received three draft picks in return: No. 142, No. 144, and No. 196. They used those picks in different ways to add talent.

Tennessee traded Jones to the Baltimore Ravens in a deal that returned pick No. 142 to the organization, and with it, the Titans selected a potential starter in Arkansas guard Fernando Carmona, an experienced college lineman who brings some position flexibility to the roster. While it will take some time to see what impact he can make, it could be a solid return for a player on a one-year contract.

The Titans acquired pick No. 144 from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for cornerback Roger McCreary at the trade deadline. At the time, this deal was met with some disdain among Titans fans, but now, after the draft, those same fans may reconsider. The Titans used that selection in a package to move up into the second round to select linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. No. 60 overall. Hill has the traits and experience to come in and be an impact player in Robert Saleh’s defense, and could be a home run.

The final trade that was made and completed was a bit of a shock when it went down early in 2025. The Titans traded cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to the in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, which turned out to be pick No. 194. With the selection, the Titans landed a potential starting center in Indiana’s Pat Coogan, who has the experience and temperament to step in and compete on day one.
