Titans Deal Superstar Safety for King’s Ransom

After a lengthy trade negotiations, the Tennessee Titans agreed to send SS Jamal Adams to the Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for 6 draft picks, one from each of the first 3 rounds in the next 2 drafts, plus rookie WR Devonta Smith, a 2nd round selection in last years draft and a standout at Alabama. While a huge loss for the Titans defense, especially for the immediate future, at the end of the day the Front Office simply felt they could not pass up the type of return that a player of Adams caliber commands. Still only 25 and in a contract year, the Titans acquired Adams last season in a blockbuster trade that sent Jadeveon Clowney and Adoree Jackson to Seattle. There is no question Adams provides an immediate upgrade to the back end of Cincinnati's defense. Now 6-0, this is definitely an all-in type of move for Codie's Bengals. Tennessee will now look to build on a roster already stocked with a fair amount of young talent as they eye the upcoming draft. Smith also provides an immediate upgrade at WR, especially in the speed department, an area that the top of the depth chart was sorely lacking. Rookie QB Jamie Newman has struggled at times but has shown a lot promise and will surely appreciate having the speedster Smith added to his arsenal.
