Overview
- Tennessee sent Brownlee and a 2026 seventh-round pick to New York for a 2026 sixth-rounder, a move both teams confirmed Tuesday.
- Brownlee missed Week 3 with an ankle injury and was seen in a walking boot, leaving his immediate availability uncertain for the Jets’ next game.
- Titans coach Brian Callahan characterized the trade as a one-off decision, declining to predict further moves despite the team’s 0-3 start.
- The Jets add depth behind Sauce Gardner, with ESPN’s Rich Cimini noting Brownlee could challenge Brandon Stephens for snaps after New York’s early secondary struggles.
- A 2024 fifth-rounder who started 14 games as a rookie (75 tackles, 9 passes defensed, 1 interception), Brownlee brings strong run defense but a history of penalties, and he publicly disputed unverified reports of locker-room issues.
