Titans Trade for Solomon Thomas, Strengthening Defense

On March 12, the Tennessee Titans just made a move to bolster their defense by trading

for veteran defensive tackle Solomon Thomas from the Dallas.

Cowboys, the deal involved swapping seventh round picks as reported this week.

Thomas the third overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers is a 30-year-old

entering his 10th pro season next year. He had a solid first year with the Cowboys,

notching three tackles for loss and two quarterback hits. This trade brings Thomas back together

with Titans head coach Robert Salah, who coached him during his early days in San Francisco,

and later with the New York Jets. Thomas has played under Salah for seven of his nine NFL

seasons so far. Meanwhile, the Titans are on a defensive shopping spree this off season.

They traded for past Russia-Dermain Johnson back on February 26 and signed defensive tackle John

Franklin Myers just this week. These additions show Tennessee's clear push to rebuild their

front line, setting the stage for a more competitive unit heading into the new season.
