The only 2 untouchable players ahead of 2025 trade deadline
Titans QB Cam Ward and DT Jeffery Simmons are the only untouchable players on the roster ahead of the 2025 NFL trade deadline.
The Tennessee Titans are headed towards another rebuild. Tennessee fired head coach Brian Callahan this week following the team's 1-5 start to the season. Now it seems that the Titans are throwing in the white towel as they prepare to go on a fire sale.
The Titans are willing to trade just about anyone at the deadline this year. In fact, there are only two untouchable players on Tennessee's roster right now.
“The Titans are open for business on every player but QB Cam Ward and defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons,” The Athletic's Dianna Russini wrote on Saturday. “They are looking to stockpile future picks.”
Tennessee has reportedly received significant trade interest weeks before the NFL trade deadline on November 4th.
NFL insiders noted earlier this week that Simmons is not expected to be traded.
“The Titans were already poised to be active at the trade deadline, and the Callahan firing only expedites that process,” ESPN's Fowler wrote on Wednesday. “They know they need draft capital to rebuild the roster. Pass rusher Arden Key, cornerback Roger McCreary and tight end Chig Okonkwo are among players on my radar. There could be more.”
Will Titans get embarrassed by Patriots in Week 7?
Mike Vrabel's Patriots are visiting Nashville at precisely the right time.
Tennessee is in shambles while they prepare for their Week 7 matchup against New England. Meanwhile, the Patriots are finally figuring themselves out heading into Week 7.
The Titans are banged up and should be missing multiple players on top of their recent head coaching change.
Tennessee's top wide receiver Calvin Ridley has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Tennessee will be forced to rely on youngsters like Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike at wide receiver with Ridley out.
The Titans also recently placed defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat on injured reserve, meaning he'll miss at least the next four weeks.
Things could get ugly during Vrabel's return to Nashville considering the lowly state of the Titans.
It will also be interesting to see how interim head coach Mike McCoy's offense looks against New England's defense.
Titans vs. Patriots kicks off at 1PM ET on Sunday.
Las Vegas Raiders Owner Mark Davis Announces Ticket Price Reductions for Disabled Fans and Families Facing Hardship
In an unprecedented move that has captured the attention of both fans and the broader NFL community, Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis has announced a new initiative to make football more accessible for all. The Raiders organization will be significantly reducing ticket prices for disabled fans and families facing financial hardships, ensuring that every member of the Raiders nation has the opportunity to experience the excitement of live football.
With the costs of attending live sports events continuing to rise, many fans have been left feeling excluded from the game-day experience. However, the Las Vegas Raiders are leading the charge for inclusivity and accessibility in the NFL. Davis, who has long been committed to supporting the Raiders’ fan base, emphasized that this initiative is about making the game accessible to those who may otherwise be unable to afford it.
"Football is a sport for everyone. No fan should feel excluded because of financial or personal challenges," Davis said in an official statement. "That’s why we’re reducing ticket prices for people with disabilities and families facing hardship. Raiders nation is built on family, and we want to ensure that every fan has the opportunity to be part of the game."
The announcement comes at a time when the financial burden of attending games has become a growing issue for many fans. With escalating ticket prices, parking costs, and stadium concessions, it has become increasingly difficult for some fans to enjoy the full experience of live football. By lowering ticket prices for those in need, the Raiders are breaking down these financial barriers and allowing all fans, regardless of their background, to enjoy the thrill of being in the stadium.
Davis further explained that this initiative is more than just a pricing adjustment; it is a message to the community. He emphasized that football is more than a game for the Raiders—it is a key part of the Las Vegas culture, and every fan should be able to participate in that experience, regardless of their personal circumstances.
While other NFL teams have engaged in charitable initiatives, the Raiders' decision to specifically reduce ticket prices for those with disabilities and financial struggles sets this move apart. It highlights the team’s dedication to making football a sport that is inclusive and accessible to all, regardless of financial limitations.
With the 2025 NFL season on the horizon, this decision is expected to receive widespread praise from fans, advocacy groups, and local communities. The Raiders' commitment to their supporters strengthens the bond between the team and its loyal fan base, reinforcing the idea that Raiders nation is more than just a team—it's a community.
Through this groundbreaking initiative, the Las Vegas Raiders are setting an example for other sports organizations, showing how sports can be used as a platform for social change and inclusivity. The team’s actions are a powerful reminder that, at its core, football is about connection, unity, and making sure that no fan is left behind.
