    Tennessee Titans named potential trade partner for star edge rusher

    The saga between the New York Jets and disgruntled edge rusher Haason Reddick continues, with Reddick wanting a contract extension or a trade and the Jets not budging.

    According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler , multiple league executives think Reddick could be traded at some point. One exec believes the Jets won't get back what they gave up if they do trade Reddick, which was a conditional 2026 third-round pick.

    In the wake of that report from Fowler, The 33rd Team listed four teams it thinks could be a possible landing spot for Reddick. The Tennessee Titans were among them, as were the Chicago Bears , Indianapolis Colts and Detroit Lions .

    The Titans could certainly have interest in a Reddick trade, as the team could use more help along the edge.

    Tennessee has a solid No. 1 edge rusher in Harold Landry, but Arden Key is too inconsistent and the Titans are lacking reliable depth options behind those two.

    Reddick would immediately be the most accomplished pass-rusher on the Titans' roster if brought in. He's tallied 11 or more sacks in each of the past four years. He would give the Titans a fantastic duo when combined with Landry.

    The biggest roadblock might be paying Reddick, who would almost certainly have to agree to a new deal before any team brings him in.

    But Reddick is young enough (30 on Sept. 22) that signing him to a multi-year deal isn't that risky, and we know he has the production to warrant a significant contract.

    General manager Ran Carthon has been very aggressive this offseason, so a trade for Reddick would seem to be right up his alley. The Titans are also set to be flush with cap space once again next offseason, with Over the Cap estimating Tennessee having a whopping $73.9 million to work with in 2025.

    With the means and the motivation, the Titans trading for Reddick is absolutely a realistic scenario, assuming he eventually becomes available.
