The Titans trade draft pick to Pats for Nick Folk to try to fix kicker issue
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans are trying a proven veteran in their latest move to fill a big need. The Titans traded a 2025 seventh-round draft pick to the New England Patriots before the NFL’s roster cut deadline for veteran Nick Folk after trying a pair of undrafted free agents during much of the offseason and training camp before turning to a journeyman kicker for the preseason finale. A sixth-round draft pick out of Notre Dame in 2007 by Dallas, Folk made 89.3% of his field goals in 57 games with New England. Folk will have a chance to become the 12th different kicker to try a field goal or extra point for this franchise since 2019 on Sept. 10 in Tennessee’s season opener at New Orleans. Three different kickers played for the Titans last season, Randy Bullock was one of two used in 2021 with Stephen Gostkowski among two in 2020.
