Buffalo sends significant draft capital to Tennessee as it looks to shore up its secondary for a Super Bowl push.
The Buffalo Bills are acquiring safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans in exchange for a second-round pick, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
Hooker, a 2019 fourth-round pick, steadily grew his role in Tennessee over the years. He signed a second extension with the Titans that keeps him under contract through 2028, meaning Buffalo is adding a player with long-term control, not just a short-term rental.
The move signals how seriously the Bills are treating their defensive needs this season. Giving up significant trade capital for a safety suggests the front office sees the secondary as a weak point standing between the team and a Super Bowl title.
For Tennessee, the trade continues a pattern of moving veteran contributors for draft capital as the franchise retools. Hooker's departure leaves a void in the Titans secondary that will need to be addressed.
No further details on the trade, including draft order specifics beyond the second-round pick, have been reported.
