The Tennessee Titans have made another move to reshape their defense this week, trading linebacker Ernest Jones and now finalizing a deal to send defensive back Elijah Molden to the Los Angeles Chargers. This trade comes after the Titans waived cornerback Caleb Farley, effectively parting ways with both defensive backs they had added early in the 2021 draft.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, the Titans and Chargers are in the final stages of negotiations on a deal that would send Molden to Los Angeles in exchange for late-round draft picks. Molden, a 2021 third-round pick in Tennessee, saw significant action during his time with the Titans. He started 17 out of the 34 games he played and showcased his talent with 142 tackles, two interceptions, two interception returns for touchdowns, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.

The addition of Molden was hoped to bolster the Titans' secondary, but it seems that the team has opted for a different approach. With the trade now close to completion, the Chargers are set to acquire a valuable defensive back who has already proven his abilities on the field.

As for the 2021 first-round pick Caleb Farley, the Titans decided to part ways with him by waiving him on Tuesday. This move signifies the team's firm commitment to restructuring their defense and undergoing a significant roster transformation.

It remains to be seen how the departure of Molden and Farley will impact the Titans' overall defensive strategy moving forward. However, these trade and waiver moves indicate the team's determination to make necessary changes and improve their defensive unit. With the regular season inching closer, it's clear that the Titans are actively working towards putting together the strongest possible roster for the upcoming campaign.

The trade between the Titans and Chargers involving Elijah Molden is expected to be officially finalized in the coming days. Titans fans will be eager to see how the late-round draft compensation from the Chargers adds value to their team while keeping an eye on how Molden's career develops in Los Angeles.
