Titans trade Dre’Mont Jones to Ravens conditions reported

[UPDATE 11/4 10:02 AM] – Tom Pelissero says the 5th-round pick becomes a 4th-round pick if Jones has two sacks the rest of the season and the Ravens make the playoffs.

[UPDATE 7:05 PM] – Adam Schefter says the Titans are getting the 5th round pick that originally belonged to the New York Jets. The pick could become the Ravens 4th round pick.

The pick going to Tennessee is the Jets’ 2026 5th-round pick that Baltimore had; but there are conditions in which that pick could become the Ravens’ 2026 4th-round pick. https://t.co/MOey3TET00

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network is reporting that the Tennessee Titans are sending EDGE Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-round pick. The conditions for it to become a fourth-round pick were not included in the original tweet. It is good to see a trade that does not involve a pick swap. The Titans actually added a pick this time.

Of the players that are likely to get traded before tomorrow’s NFL trade deadline, Jones might be the most valuable. He has really been playing well lately, with 4.5 sacks in the last 4 games. I can’t remember the last time the Titans had that kind of production.

Jones joins Jarvis Brownlee and Roger McCreary as players traded from the Titans on the defensive side of the ball. They might not be done on that side of the ball yet with rumors swirling about both Arden Key and T’Vondre Sweat.

The NFL trade deadline is a 3 PM Central tomorrow.

I will update this post with the conditions on the pick when they are posted.

Checking in on the Titans win total

The Tennessee Titans’ preseason win total was 6.5. I’ll be honest, I felt good about that. The Titans had the number one overall pick quarterback with a lot of promise coming in, and they had an offensive head coach who was going to tailor the system to fit him. They also had a revamped offensive line that was going to be able to protect him, and a weapon on the outside in Calvin Ridley. Winning 7 games was going to be no problem.

Cut to November. The coach has been fired. The quarterback has been up and down. The offensive line is starting to play better, but overall has still been bad, and Ridley struggled to catch the ball before going down with a hamstring injury. The Titans hit their bye week at 1-8.

Our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook are pretty confident the Titans will win another game. They are -800 to go over 1.5 wins. I do think they will find another win, but you would have to be insane to bet it at that number. The most interesting number to me is under 2.5 wins at +140. If I were going to put my hard-earned money on the Titans, that is where I would put it.

Titans GM Mike Borgonzi gives reasoning behind Jarvis Brownlee trade

Tennessee Titans GM Mike Borgonzi met with the media this morning to wrap up the 2025 NFL trade deadline. He gave a pretty long opening statement about the state of the team and the moves they made at the deadline. Part of his opening statement was addressing the Jarvis Brownlee trade.

Borgonzi was very complimentary of Brownlee, but did say there were some things, like accountability and attention to detail, that didn’t fit the culture the Titans are trying to build. So basically Borgonzi confirmed the speculation that was out there.

My question would be, is a player who has shown the ability that Brownlee showed not worth keeping around and trying to work with him on those things? You are talking about a second-year corner who started and played pretty well as a rookie. This team isn’t really in a position to be casting off talented players for any reason, really, but especially just because of those reasons that are listed.

It would be one thing if that was starting to bleed over and be a problem with other guys on the team, but it doesn’t sound like that was the case with Brownlee.

So, now we know the reasoning behind the trade. Does that make you feel any better about it? It doesn’t for me.

Titans Reacts Survey Week 10

The Tennessee Titans ended up making two trades* around the NFL trade deadline, sending Roger McCreary to the Los Angeles Rams and Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens. They netted one pick in those two deals. I was hoping they would be able to add more picks, but at the end of the day, they could only make the deals that were available to be made.

This week, we have both the standard confidence question and the question of whether or not you approve of what the Titans did at the deadline.

*I don’t consider the Jarvis Brownlee trade a deadline deal because it was done so far in advance. It was also a dumb trade.

Titans need Femi Oladejo to get healthy and produce now more than ever

The Tennessee Titans traded outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday in exchange for a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick that could become a fourth-rounder. Jones’ departure leaves the Titans thin at EDGE. The rebuilding team needs rookie EDGE Femi Oladejo to get healthy and start producing.

The Titans did not trade Arden Key prior to Tuesday’s deadline. Key has been sidelined for multiple games, but should return to action in Week 11 versus the Houston Texans. The expectation is that he’ll start alongside Jihad Ward in base defense following Jones’ departure.

Oladejo is currently on IR. So is depth pass rusher Ali Gaye. Jaylen Harrell has been the top rotational pass rusher for the Titans in recent weeks. Interior defensive lineman James Lynch has earned a handful of snaps outside.

Oladejo suffered a fractured leg injury in the Week 6 defeat to the Las Vegas Raiders. Oladejo was placed on IR shortly thereafter. He’s eligible to return following the Week 11 Texans game, but there’s no guarantee he’s back after the four-game minimum. HIs injury was serious enough to carry a 6-8 week rough estimate.

Femi Oladejo is using a scooter to get around. #Titans

But Oladejo’s injury wasn’t considered season ending. Now that Jones has been traded, Oladejo’s production is even more imperative. Not necessarily because the Titans are still trying to achieve anything notable in 2025. The Jones trade means he’s unlikely to be in Tennessee next season (he could technically sign with the Titans as a free agent), creating another guaranteed position in the pass-rushing rotation.

Oladejo had recorded zero sacks and seven pressures before landing on IR. His pass-rush-win-rate was a disappointing 4.9%, according to Pro Football Focus. Jones (11.5%), Ward (10.7%), and Key (8.9%) have all had significant better outputs.

Hopefully Oladejo can return at some point this season. The Titans need Oladejo to produce like a long-term solution at EDGE.

4 Titans who need to play a bigger role after the Week 10 bye

The Tennessee Titans are on their Week 10 bye. Interim head coach Mike McCoy and staff must take advantage to assess their lineup decisions. At 1-8, the Titans are in fact-finding mode down the stretch. They need to continue offering young players opportunities to prove themselves as future solutions.

We’ve identified four Titans in particular who must play larger roles throughout the second half of Tennessee’s campaign.

Gunnar Helm, TE​

Gunnar Helm has been consistently productive when targets are thrown his way. The former Texas Longhorns standout has registered 20 receptions for 187 yards and one receiving touchdown. He’s an athletic pass rusher who’s improving as a blocker.

Helm had one target in Tennessee’s last contest, converting it to an acrobatic 15-yard diving catch. The Titans need to get him more involved. There’s room for Chig Okonkwo and Helm to be productive together.

Marcus Harris, CB​

Marcus Harris is seemingly the new nickel cornerback following the Roger McCreary trade. The sixth-round rookie played 28 defensive snaps in Week 9. That accounted for 43% of Dennard Wilson’s defensive snaps.

It was a positive debut for Harris. That’s considering a matchup that placed him in coverage against Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen. The Titans need to find out if Harris is their nickel corner of the future.

Kevin Winston Jr., S​

The Titans have eased Kevin Winston Jr. into the lineup. The third-round safety is finally healthy after suffering a setback in last year’s partial ACL tear recovery. Winston has played 21 and 26 snaps in consecutive games.

The Titans possess little incentive to play Quandre Diggs and Xavier Woods. Mike Borgonzi needs to learn if Winston is the long-term partner for Amani Hooker at safety. The ceiling remains high on Winston, who the Titans possessed a second-round grade on.

Chimere Dike, WR​

It feels straightforward that Chimere Dike will continue playing a sizable role. He’s having an All-Pro season on special teams. He’s listed because the Titans must keep developing him at wide receiver.

Dike saw three measly targets in Week 9. He was not consistently targeted in the passing game when Calvin Ridley was healthy, and Ridley appears primed to return in Week 11. Dike’s explosive ability must remain at the forefront of McCoy’s offensive gameplan.

Grading the Titans’ 3 trade deadline deals

The Tennessee Titans did not make a move during Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline. From September to early November, general manager Mike Borgonzi made three separate deals involving players and draft-pick compensation. With the trade deadline now officially over, we assigned letter grades to each Titans deal.

Dre’Mont Jones to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2026 conditional 5th-round pick

This fifth-round pick originally belonged to the New York Jets. It’ll become a Ravens fourth-rounder if Jones records two sacks in Baltimore and the Ravens make the playoffs. Jones was a temporary solution on an expiring contract, so Borgonzi scored quality value in this agreement. Grade: B

Roger McCreary and a 2026 6th-round pick to the Los Angeles Rams for a 2025 5th-round pick

Roger McCreary was also on an expiring contract. Borgonzi obviously didn’t view the nickel cornerback as part of his long-term roster rebuild plans. Titans fans debated the former Auburn corner’s value and wondered if the rebuilding roster would have been better off re-signing him. The late-round pick swap for McCreary should improve the Titans’ selection by approximately 25-45 overalls. Grade: C+

Jarvis Brownlee and a 2026 7th-round pick to the New York Jets for a 2026 6th-round pick

This trade occurred in September, but it felt strange to omit from this exercise. The Titans’ decision to trade Brownlee remains mind-boggling. He’s played well as the Jets’ nickel corner, and might be their top cornerback following the stunning Sauce Grardner trade. The Titans obviously disliked Brownlee’s culture fit under Borgonzi, but the draft-pick return for an ascending young defender was nonexistent. Grade: D

The Titans failed to move Chig Okonkwo, Arden Key, Tony Pollard, or Calvin Ridley. All four are potential offseason departures, with Key and Okonkwo on expiring deals, and Pollard/Ridley as maybe cap casualties. Jeffery Simmons and T’Vondre Sweat were also mentioned in deadline rumors. It was ultimately a tame deadline day for the Titans.

Titans opening odds: Tennessee opens as 7.5-point home underdog against the Texans

The Tennessee Titans had their best week since the win over the Arizona Cardinals this week. They saw the New York Jets, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns all win. That gives the Titans a full game lead in the quest for the number one overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. They will look to keep the first overall pick this week against the Houston Texans. The Titans are currently a 7.5-point underdog over at FanDuel Sportsbook.

While the Titans were off this week, the Texans scored 26 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 36-29. C.J. Stround did not play in the game after suffering a concussion last week. We won’t know his status for Sunday’s game until later in the week. Davis Mills threw for 292 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, filling in for Stroud.

There is a chance the Titans could get some key starters back against the Texans. Jeffery Simmons, Calvin Ridley, and Arden Key should all have a chance to be back for this divisional match-up.

These two teams met back in week four with the Texans winning 26-0. Tennessee failed to make it to the red zone in that one.
