The Tennessee Titans shipped off linebacker Akeem Ayers to the New England Patriots this past week, which has led to other NFL teams looking at their roster for potential deals that could be made.

This season hasn’t been the fresh start that the Tennessee Titans were looking for when they hired Ken Whisenhunt but the growing pains were expected. What wasn’t totally expected was that the Titans would be farmed for their current players, which seems to be the case as the NFL trade deadline approaches.

The NFL isn’t typically known as a league that sees in-season trades that involve big name players, but the past two seasons have seen big deals made out of absolutely nowhere. Last season Trent Richardson was moved from Cleveland to Indianapolis and just last week the Seattle Seahawks moved Percy Harvin to the New York Jets.

According to Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, the Tennessee Titans are a team that many around the NFL are looking at for potential trades at the approaching deadline. As Rapoport points out, the Titans could move players like Nate Washington, Wesley Woodyard and Michael Griffin if the right deal comes around.

This doesn’t mean that a deal will for sure get done, but the Titans are clearly in the market to see what pieces for the future they can get for spare parts they have now. Tennessee isn’t going anywhere this season and making a trade that blow up their roster might actually make a team about to start Zach Mettenberger a little bit more exciting.
