The Buffalo Bills have landed standout AFC safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans in a trade deadline move, solidifying the defense for the second half of the season.

The 28-year-old safety is having one of his best years to date, and his five interceptions are tied for most in the NFL through the first nine weeks.

Buffalo is sending a 2027 second-round pick to the Titans and getting Hooker along with a 2027 fifth-round pick in return. The trade is official.

Hooker is signed through the 2028 season, giving the Bills additional years of control after this season. The safety projects to slide in opposite of third-year safety Cole Bishop to form a new duo on the back end.

Prior to the trade, Hooker has spent his first eight NFL seasons in Tennessee and has 17 career INTs. He's also racked up 467 tackles, five forced fumbles and 45 pass breakups in 103 regular season games.

The trade marks the third time in the last four seasons that Bills general manager Brandon Beane has been aggressive at the trade deadline. Going back to 2023, the Bills have traded at least a third-rounder three times prior to the NFL trade deadline.

In 2023, Buffalo acquired CB Rasul Douglas for a third-round pick, and in 2024 the Bills parted with a third-rounder for WR Amari Cooper.

The Bills' move for Hooker marks the most draft capital the team has used to acquire a player in-season at the trade deadline under Beane.
