Overview
- The Bills completed the deal on Tuesday by sending a 2027 second-round pick to the Tennessee Titans and receiving safety Amani Hooker plus a 2027 fifth-round pick in return.
- Hooker enters Buffalo tied for the NFL lead with five interceptions this season and brings 17 career picks while carrying a contract that runs through the 2028 season.
- Buffalo restructured offensive tackle Dion Dawkins’ contract to create cap room for Hooker and will have him slot into the starting safety group opposite Cole Bishop.
- The move trades future draft capital for immediate help to a defense that ranked near the bottom of the league in passing yards allowed and had limited takeaway production from its defensive backs.
- For Tennessee the trade continues a roster reset that has converted veteran starters into draft assets and gives the Titans extra Day 2 capital to rebuild around their young core.
