Bills Acquire Amani Hooker From Titans for 2027 Picks

The Buffalo Bills acquired safety Amani Hooker from the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, November 10, sending a 2027 second-round draft pick to Tennessee and receiving Hooker and a 2027 fifth-round pick, according to reports on the trade. The move adds a veteran to a Buffalo defense that has ranked 29th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game in reports covering its first eight or nine games.

Hooker, 28, has five interceptions in seven games this season, tied for the league lead, and recorded three against the Cincinnati Bengals on November 1. He also has 52 tackles and six passes defended this season, according to reports. The Bills entered the trade at 7-1 after beating the Minnesota Vikings 23-6 on Monday.

One report said he has $9.57 million in 2027 base salary that is not guaranteed, with an injury guarantee of more than $4 million set to vest in March.
