NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans traded starting
cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr. and a seventh-round pick in the
2026 draft to the New York Jets on Tuesday for a sixth-round
selection next April.
The Titans announced the trade hours after coach Brian Callahan
said he was handing over play-calling duties to quarterbacks
coach Bo Hardegree.
Acquiring Brownlee, a fifth-round pick out of Louisville in
2024, helps the Jets (0-3) add some depth in a struggling
secondary behind starters Sauce Gardner, Brandon Stephens and
nickel cornerback Michael Carter II.
It also reunites Brownlee with defensive back coach/pass game
coordinator Chris Harris, who was Tennessee’s defensive pass
game coordinator and cornerbacks coach last season. The Jets
play Miami on Monday night.
As a rookie, the 5-foot-10, 194-pound Brownlee started 14 games
and ranked third on the Tennessee defense with 75 tackles. He
also ranked fifth among AFC rookies with nine passes defended
and led all rookie defensive backs with seven tackles for loss.
Brownlee started the first two games and had two tackles for
loss this season. He missed last week's loss to Indianapolis
with an injured ankle and was seen at the stadium pregame with
his foot in a walking boot.
The Titans also signed running back Raheem Blackshear to the
practice squad.
