The Tennessee Titans’ 2024 season has taken a tough turn, as they stand at 2-6 heading into Week 10. With playoff hopes fading, Tennessee appears to be shifting toward a rebuilding phase under head coach Brian Callahan. This move was signaled by recent trades involving key players Ernest Jones IV and DeAndre Hopkins. Now, with the NFL trade deadline approaching, it seems the Titans might part ways with additional players.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Titans have received trade inquiries regarding two of their defensive assets, Arden Key and Sebastian Joseph-Day. Multiple teams are reportedly interested in acquiring these players, and while nothing concrete has been finalized as of Tuesday morning, there is potential for a last-minute deal ahead of the 4 PM ET trade deadline.
Arden Key has been a standout performer for the Titans this season, making him an appealing trade target. At 28 years old, Key has developed well within Tennessee’s system, delivering one of his best seasons to date. Through eight games, he’s recorded 19 total tackles and four sacks, marking significant contributions to the Titans’ defense. With his current form and performance level, Key could attract interest from teams looking to strengthen their pass rush.
Sebastian Joseph-Day, a reliable interior defensive lineman, is another player garnering interest. Known for his ability to stop the run and apply pressure on quarterbacks, Joseph-Day adds valuable depth to the Titans’ defensive line. While he’s a solid contributor, his role may be more easily filled, making him a viable trade candidate if the Titans receive a compelling offer.
As the trade deadline nears, the Titans’ front office faces a key decision. Moving either Key or Joseph-Day could bring in draft assets or young talent to aid the team’s rebuild. With several NFL teams actively seeking defensive help, Tennessee is likely to remain a team to watch on Tuesday as potential trade deals unfold.
