Tennessee Titans Trade All-Pro Safety Kevin Byard in 'Tough Business Decision'

Titans hope turnaround from 2-4 start after trading Byard to Eagles and receiving Terrell Edmunds and two 2024 draft picks; NBA trade deadline looming with potential additional trades.

• The Tennessee Titans have traded All-Pro safety Kevin Byard to the Philadelphia Eagles in a strategic move to shake up their roster following a poor 2-4 season start.
• The Titans received safety Terrell Edmunds and two 2024 draft picks in exchange for Byard, intensifying their rebuild efforts and creating room for growth on the team.
• Titans coach Mike Vrabel described the trade as a 'tough business decision' but underscored its potential long-term benefits to the roster.
• The trade also signals that the Titans are potentially gearing up for additional trades and player movements - with major players including Derrick Henry and DeAndre Hopkins also in the final year of their contracts.
• Veteran player Derrick Henry is now the longest-tenured player with the Titans; meanwhile, the team's fortunes could be further tested due to quarterback Ryan Tannehill's ankle injury.
