As the NFL approaches Week 7, analysts are advocating for the 1-5 Tennessee Titans to sell key players at the trade deadline. With the team in a rebuilding phase, experts suggest focusing on future draft capital. Potential trade candidates include Calvin Ridley, Jermaine Johnson, and Tony Pollard, particularly as Ridley deals with a hip injury. Such trades could mirror the Jets' successful strategy from last season, allowing the Titans to build a young core ahead of their new stadium opening next year.
