Overview

• New York receives Brownlee and a 2026 seventh-round pick from Tennessee for a 2026 sixth-rounder, a transaction confirmed by the teams and multiple outlets.
• Brownlee started 14 games as a 2024 rookie and opened the first two this season before an ankle injury sidelined him for Week 3.
• The Jets see the 24-year-old as a low-cost option who could challenge Brandon Stephens opposite Sauce Gardner once healthy, and he reunites with DB coach Chris Harris.
• Brownlee’s profile includes aggressive coverage that has led to penalties and mixed results in coverage, along with strong tackling and run support.
• The deal drew local criticism over the light compensation, and reports noted other inquiries (including from the Patriots) as the Titans absorb roughly $789,000 in dead cap.
