The Titans are reportedly set to deal one of their recent second-round picks.
Tennessee has agreed to send outside linebackerAkeem Ayers to New England, Jim Wyatt of theNashville Tennessean reported Tuesday.
The trade is pending a physical, Wyatt reported. Terms of the deal are not known.
For the 25-year-old Ayers, the trade is an opportunity to start fresh. A starter in his first three seasons with the Titans, Ayers has been a backup this season, appearing in just two games. He is in the final year of his contract. Ayers (6-3, 255) had surgery on both knees in the offseason.
A UCLA product, Ayers was the No. 39 overall pick in 2011. He’s recorded 232 tackles, nine sacks and two interceptions in 50 games (43 starts).
In New England, Ayers could get a look as an end in 4-3 packages and at outside linebacker in “30” fronts.
