New Headline: Titans Thrive as Bold Plan Integrates Game-Changing Technology
One analyst gives the Tennessee Titans a passing grade for their deal to acquire Solomon Thomas from the Dallas Cowboys.
The NFL media outlets are all about hot takes and instant grading on everything from signings to the draft, and of course, trades, and at long last, the Tennessee Titans ' grade for the Solomon Thomas trade with the Dallas Cowboys has dropped. In the trade, a basic pick swap, the Titans received Thomas and a seventh-round pick (No. 225), and in return, the Cowboys received a seventh-round pick (No.
218). Basically, an exchange of seven draft slots to acquire an experienced depth piece that is familiar with the system. In grading this trade, NFL.
com analyst Kevin Patra gave both sides a C+ grade. The Cowboys were prepared to release Thomas, who was viewed as an ill-fit in new defensive coordinator Christian Parker’s system, meaning the trade saved them no more cap space than they’d have obtained through releasing the rotational defensive tackle. Thomas appeared in 16 games for Dallas last season, generating 27 tackles and zero sacks.
Moving up seven spots in the draft is something, I guess. Tennessee continues to stockpile players with whom coach Robert Saleh is familiar. Saleh is VERY familiar with Thomas.
