Titans consider trading cornerback Alontae Taylor amid struggles
Summary

The Tennessee Titans are contemplating the possibility of trading cornerback Alontae Taylor following his struggles on the field. Taylor, who received a three-year, $58 million contract, was a healthy scratch during the Titans' Week 6 victory. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler suggests the Titans are considering moving him at the upcoming NFL trade deadline, though the $20.5 million guaranteed salary for next season poses a challenge. It may be beneficial for the organization to either seek a day two draft pick for Taylor or address his performance issues to improve team defense.
