The Buffalo Bills acquired Tennessee Titans safety Amani Hooker just before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, sending a 2027 second-round pick to Tennessee and receiving Hooker and a 2027 fifth-round selection, Bills Wire and WHEC reported, both citing ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Hooker, 28, was a fourth-round pick by the Titans in 2019 and has started 74 games for Tennessee, including every season since 2021, Bills Wire said. He has five interceptions this season, which leads the NFL, the site reported. Buffalo is 7-1 after a 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. The deadline was 4 p.m., and Bills general manager Brandon Beane completed the deal just ahead of it, according to the reports, which also cited Netflix’s Tom Pelissero.
The accounts did not specify whether Hooker would be available for Buffalo’s next game, and this report does not assume a debut date.
