Making Sense of Titans' Surprise Jarvis Brownlee Trade: What It Means, Who Can Replace Him
The Jets traded a 2026 sixth-round pick for Brownlee and a seventh-round pick to bolster their secondary amid a 0-3 season start, reuniting him with coach Chris Harris.
- On Tuesday, the Tennessee Titans traded starting cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the New York Jets for a 2026 sixth-round pick.
- The Jets, facing secondary issues, added Jarvis Brownlee Jr. to bolster a thin defense ranked 29th in scoring and reunited him with defensive back coach Chris Harris after Brian Callahan altered play-calling.
- Brownlee's on-field record shows 92 tackles, 10 passes defended and one interception across 19 games, but Pro Football Focus graded his coverage 87th of 107 with 663 yards allowed, 4 TDs and a 104.1 passer rating last year.
- For Tennessee, the transaction improves a 2026 late-round draft asset but upgrades a pick they already owned, while the Jets gain a backup who could challenge Brandon Stephens.
- The timing stands out because the trade came just three days after Jarvis Brownlee Jr. missed Week 3 with an ankle injury and walking boot, fitting the Titans' draft-focused strategy under Mike Borgonzi and Chad Brinker.
