Titans GM Defends Jarvis Brownlee Trade as Culture Move
The Titans describe the trade as a culture decision focused on resetting locker-room standards.
Overview
- On Nov. 5, GM Mike Borgonzi called the deal "controversial" and said some of Brownlee’s habits didn’t align with the culture he wants to establish.
- Tennessee traded Brownlee and a seventh-round pick to the Jets about six weeks ago in exchange for a sixth-round pick.
- Since joining New York, Brownlee has delivered quickly, posting a 77.9 Pro Football Focus coverage grade and making a decisive play in the Jets’ lone win.
- With the Jets moving All-Pro corner Sauce Gardner, Brownlee’s role is expected to grow.
- Tennessee’s cornerback depth has thinned after dealing nickel Roger McCreary and placing L’Jarius Sneed on injured reserve, as Borgonzi cites Jeffery Simmons as the standard-bearer for the culture he wants.
