NASHVILLE — Riding a five-game winning streak, the Tennessee Titans (5-2) are in position to be among the buyers at the NFL's trade deadline. Clubs have until 3 p.m. CT on Nov. 1 to make a move.

Will Tennessee actually pull the trigger?

The answer is trending towards no as of Monday evening. General manager Jon Robinson's track record to date on in-season personnel acquisitions is certainly rare. The only such instance of the Titans acquiring a player in the middle of a campaign was in 2020. With the defensive back depth savaged by injury and no pass rush to speak of, Robinson sent a 2021 sixth-round pick to the Los Angeles Chargers for corner Desmond King.

Tennessee, however, is still doing due diligence.

Titans have an interest in edge depth

Albert Breer of The MMQB recently mentioned that he expected the Titans to sniff around a position most would not consider to be a dire need.

At the time, 32-year-old pass rusher Robert Quinn had not yet been traded from the Chicago Bear to the Philadelphia Eagles for a fourth-round pick. Chicago reportedly agreed to absorb the bulk of Quinn's 2022 salary in the deal, which would have made plenty of sense for Tennessee to do.

The irony: the Titans are already a Top 3 pressure rate defense.

It has been fascinating to watch Tennessee's defense operate this season. Coordinator Shane Bowen's unit has gotten home 19 times through seven regular season games. Collectively, they have 137 total quarterback pressures and doing so without star edge rusher Harold Landry for the entire season.

Adding more depth ahead of Tuesday's deadline would make a ton of sense despite the obvious needs at offensive tackle and wide receiver.

The Titans seam content to continue to patchwork those other two groups together and gut it out on the offensive side of the ball. Bringing in edge rush insurance, though, would continue to allow them to keep control of games and harass their opponents no matter how glaring their deficiencies on the other side are.

What deals are there to be had have not really materialized. The most notable name besides Quinn that has been mentioned in deadline talks has been Bradley Chubb of the Denver Broncos. Denver has fielded calls, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but Chubb seems less likely to be moved after the team's Week 8 London win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee has continued to explore other pass rushing opportunities with the understanding that you can never have too many competent players at the position.
