The Tennessee Titans are focused on adding depth in the secondary as they traded for Philadelphia Eagles safety Ugo Amadi, the Eagles announced. The two teams will trade late-round picks in 2024. This is actually the second time in the past nine days that Amadi has been traded, as he traveled to Philadelphia from the Seattle Seahawks as part of the JJ Arcega-Whiteside. Trade.
Amadi was selected by the Seahawks in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft in Oregon. He started in 12 of 47 games played during his three NFL seasons and recorded 125 combined tackles, two forced fumbles, 13 passes defended and one interception. Amadi is actually from Nashville and was given a three-star rating by 247Sports as a prospect. He is someone who has experience as a cornerback, but who can also play on special teams.
He’s the second defensive back Tennessee has traded for in the last two weeks, as the Titans sent a conditional seventh-round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for safety Tyree Gillespie eight days ago. The Mizzou product played 11 games as a rookie, seeing time mostly on special teams.
The Titans also claimed defensive back Lonnie Johnson off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this month. He’s a former second-round pick who has intrigued many teams, but apparently has yet to reach his full potential. Head coach Mike Vrabel and general manager Jon Robinson are clearly working to improve the team’s depth chart in the secondary, although it remains to be seen if the three new additions will make it to the final 53-man roster. .
