The Buffalo Bills acquired veteran safety Amani Hooker and a fifth-round pick from the Tennessee Titans in a trade deal ahead of Tuesday's deadline.

Tennessee are receiving a second-round pick (*years for the picks will be updated when announced).

Hooker, 28, leads the NFL alongside Xavier McKinney (Green Bay Packers) with five interceptions after a three-pick performance against the Cincinnati Bengals back on November 1st. 

Hooker spent all seven seasons of his NFL career with the Titans. He's just one interception short of setting a new single-season high and is 18 tackles away from putting up at least 70 in four straight seasons. 

Through 103 games (74 starts), Hooker has posted 468 tackles, 45 pass deflections, 17 interceptions, 14 tackles for loss, and five forced fumbles. 

He now goes from a 1-7 Titans team to a 7-1 Bills team that ranks 16th in overall defense. 

Buffalo will look to continue their winning ways on Sunday, November 15th, against their AFC East rival New York Jets.

Before going after Hooker, the Bills tried to make a deal for Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker, according to NFL insider Jeff Schultz.
