Here's an update on the trade w/Eagles on players Titans get ....
SI trade grade:
Eagles grade: A
Titans grade: D+
For the Titans, it’s a meager return. General manager Ran Carthon traded away one of his best players who was signed for this year and next, and yet didn’t receive a key player or a top-125 draft pick. While all draft capital is good for an organization clearly headed toward a rebuild, it also seems like a light package.
However, one thing is clear in Nashville: The Titans are 2–4 and going nowhere fast. They have to start amassing draft assets in the hopes of building back and eventually competing with the Jaguars in the AFC South. With Byard an aging veteran, he likely wouldn’t be part of that equation.
If Carthon can turn one or both of those picks into quality players, it’s a decent deal. If not, the trade becomes what it appears to be in the moment: a lopsided deal that favors the Eagles.
