Robert Saleh: Titans aren't shopping anyone, but when you're 1-6 teams call you
Titans head coach Robert Saleh says his team will not hold a fire sale ahead of the trade deadline.
Titans coach Robert Saleh has ruled out a fire sale before the trade deadline, but he couldn't resist a trade offer from the Chicago Bears for defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons. The Bears swapped their next two first-round draft picks for Simmons, and Saleh deemed it an offer too enticing to decline. Saleh emphasized that no Titans player is up for grabs, but when a team is 1-6, they become targets for trading.
Saleh considers Simmons the premier defensive tackle in the NFL and regrets letting him go. The coach expressed that it's difficult to part ways with an elite player and leader. Saleh did not disclose the specifics of his conversation with Simmons before the trade. The coach acknowledged that it was a difficult decision for the Titans, but believes the two first-round picks acquired may lead to a winning team in the future, a goal the Titans currently lack.
