The Tennessee Titans are shaping up to be sellers at the NFL’s trade deadline.
Kevin Byard was recently traded to the Philadelphia Eagles to assist their secondary, seemingly the first of many moves.
Titans reporter Buck Reising of A to Z Sports has recently indicated that the Titans might have another trade partner lined up, this time with the Baltimore Ravens.

Derrick Henry has expressed interest in being traded to a contender, which the Ravens are shaping up to be given their record of 5-2, holding down the top spot in the AFC North.
They lost J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending injury, and Gus Edwards has battled injuries of his own throughout the year.
While Lamar Jackson is still in the picture as a more than capable runner in his respect, adding a player of Henry’s caliber cannot hurt their cause.
The Ravens have the second-most rushing attempts of any team in the NFL this season.
While they have averaged 4.4 yards per carry this year, Henry would be able to help bring that number up and provide a veteran presence in the locker room as well.
At 29 years old, a trade to the Ravens might be one of Henry’s final chances at a title given the current state of the Titans.
Running backs tend to hit a cliff after their age 26 seasons, and the 30-year milestone has tended to signal another severe drop in production.
Henry is a fan-favorite in Tennessee, and it would be a devastating blow to the fanbase if he was traded.
