A possible move to bolster the defensive line involves trading for Arik Armstead, a candidate highlighted in Bleacher Report’s trade scenarios. Armstead, who produced 5.5 sacks last season and is 32, would come with a significant $19 million cap hit in 2026, but the Titans’ estimated $63 million in available cap space could accommodate such a move. The discussion notes Armstead’s potential fit alongside Saleh, given their prior connection, and argues that a trade could be appealing if the Jaguars are looking to reshape their roster.
Key takeaways:
– Titans pivot to a stronger defense with Saleh’s leadership and a revamped defensive unit.
– Potential trade target: Arik Armstead, a veteran defensive lineman with a productive but expensive contract.
– Financials suggest the Titans could manage a high-cap-hit move given current cap space, aiming to create a more formidable front seven for a late-2020s playoff push.
