The Tennessee Titans are actively working to strengthen their roster under general manager Mike Borgonzi and head coach Robert Saleh. With nine picks in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, the Titans have made minimal trades, the only one being nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat, who did not fit into the new defensive scheme. A recent proposal by Fox Sports reporter Ralph Vacchiano suggests that the Detroit Lions should target defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons from the Titans, potentially offering a 2026 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick. However, trading Simmons seems unlikely as he is a cornerstone of the Titans' defense and a key leader in the locker room. The Titans did not trade him at the deadline last year, and with his contract expiring after the next season, they are unlikely to let him go now. The Lions, needing to bolster their defensive line, would face significant financial hurdles in acquiring Simmons, whose projected cap hit exceeds $25 million for 2026, making this trade a complex proposition.
