The Buffalo Bills acquired safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans before the NFL trade deadline, sending Tennessee a 2027 second-round pick and receiving Hooker and a fifth-round pick. Hooker, 28, recorded five interceptions, 52 tackles and six pass breakups. He is expected to start alongside Cole Bishop, addressing Buffalo’s safety and secondary concerns with an experienced defender for its playoff push. The deal ends Hooker’s long tenure in Tennessee.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
Pairing him with Bishop should finally give the Bills a reliable starting duo at safety.
Giving up a 2027 second rounder for a veteran safety feels like too much when the draft is still years away.
Hooker has five picks already so this looks like a smart move to fix Buffalo's secondary holes right away.
