Tennessee Titans Trading Star Safety Amani Hooker to Buffalo Bills, Reports Say

Buffalo added a Pro Bowl safety and sent a second-round pick to Tennessee as it sought help for a defense with six interceptions in eight games.

  • On Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills acquired safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans, sending a 2027 second-round draft pick and receiving a fifth-round selection in return.
  • The Bills sought secondary depth after releasing veteran safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson earlier this month following a one-game suspension for spitting at Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.
  • Leading the NFL with five interceptions this season, Hooker has recorded 468 career tackles and 17 interceptions in 103 games since the Titans drafted him in 2019.
  • The addition of Hooker creates a new starting tandem alongside Cole Bishop, allowing Damar Hamlin to return to a backup role and providing an immediate defensive upgrade.
  • Under contract through 2028, Hooker carries an $8.4 million base salary for 2026, with the Bills responsible for only the remaining portion of his compensation following this mid-season acquisition.
