NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans moved one of their most productive defenders at the trade deadline, sending safety Amani Hooker to the Buffalo Bills and getting back a Bills second-rounder in next year’s draft.

Tennessee is also giving up its own fifth-round choice for 2027 as part of the swap. The clubs reached agreement Tuesday, and the Titans said the deal still hinged on Hooker passing a physical, while Buffalo later described the trade as official.

Hooker leaves in the middle of a strong year. His five interceptions through nine weeks are tied for the most in the league. Over eight seasons in Tennessee he played 103 regular-season games and totaled 17 interceptions and 467 tackles, plus 45 passes broken up and five fumbles forced.

Those 17 interceptions rank fifth for the franchise since it took the Titans name in 1999. Only Kevin Byard, Michael Griffin, Samari Rolle and Keith Bulluck had more in that span. The Titans originally took Hooker in the fourth round in 2019.

The return adds to a stockpile. The Titans now hold two first-round choices and two second-round choices for 2027, a cushion that gives the front office flexibility as it builds for next season.

Buffalo keeps Hooker under contract through 2028 and plans to pair the 28-year-old with Cole Bishop at safety. The deal is the most draft capital the Bills have spent on a midseason addition under general manager Brandon Beane.

Hooker spent all eight of his NFL seasons with Tennessee before the deal. The Bills, coming off a Monday night win at Minnesota, have now spent at least a third-round pick at the deadline three times since 2023, after earlier moves for cornerback Rasul Douglas and receiver Amari Cooper.

Tennessee is back at Nissan Stadium on Sunday to host the Jacksonville Jaguars, its first game since the deal.
