3 veterans the Titans should consider trading after 0-4 start
Identifying three Tennessee Titans veteran players who could be traded at the NFL trade deadline.
The Tennessee Titans recently suffered a 24-18 loss against the Baltimore Ravens, extending their winless start to 0-4. With roughly half the NFL trade deadline behind them, the team is considering trading veteran players for draft capital in the hopes of building a competitive roster for the 2027 season.
Running back Tony Pollard is in a contract year and unlikely to be brought back by general manager Mike Borgonzi in 2027. Trading Pollard could open up opportunities for Nicholas Singleton, a young backfield option to evaluate. Pollard maintains value as a consistent down-to-down runner, but the Titans may not want to retain him long-term.
Veteran linebacker Cody Barton continues playing despite being outplayed at times. His leadership skills are valuable, but the Titans may prefer getting draft capital for Barton rather than keeping him on the roster. Calvin Ridley, an aging receiver with multi-year 1,000 yard touchdowns, might not have any trade value. The Titans likely plan to release Ridley next offseason, making his contract more manageable through trade.
For the Titans, trading Pollard, Barton, or Ridley could create opportunities for younger players and provide much-needed draft capital as they attempt to build a competitive team for the future.
