"The Patriots are preparing for another road game this week, as they head to Tennessee to face the Titans in hopes of continuing their win streak before heading back to Foxboro. It will be the first time Mike Vrabel faces his former team since they fired him after the 2023 season, and things just got a whole lot more interesting now that they fired his replacement."
"Other than stealing a win on the road against a head coach-less team, they might be able to inquire about a few trade candidates that the Titans might be willing to let go of, as they likely undergo a makeover from top to bottom. The most obvious player continues to be defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, who very much enjoyed playing for Vrabel since he was drafted."
The Patriots travel to Tennessee to face the Titans, marking Mike Vrabel's first return to his former team since his 2023 firing. The Titans dismissed Brian Callahan after a 1-5 start to 2025, following a 3-14 finish the previous season, prompting expectations of a broad organizational overhaul. The firing creates an opportunity for the Patriots to seek a road victory and explore trade possibilities as the Titans reshape their roster. Defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons emerges as a primary trade candidate given his history with Vrabel and expressed openness to leaving Tennessee. The Patriots could target Simmons to enhance their pass-rushing ability alongside Christian Barmore and Milton Williams.
