NFL trade proposal has Rams land 3.5-sack defender from Titans
The Los Angeles Rams suffered their second loss of the season in Week 5 as they fell to the San Francisco 49ers in overtime. 
Now sitting at 3-2, the Rams are behind the 49ers in the NFC West race, but it's far from panic time. Veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford has still been playing well, and the team's defense is 10th in yards per game allowed.
However, it's fair to say the team could use another difference-maker along the defensive line. Josh Weil of Pro Football & Sports Network recently identified star defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons as a possible trade target for the team.
In Weil's proposal, the deal would look like this:
- Rams receive: DT Jeffery Simmons
- Titans receive: 2026 first-round pick, 2027 second-round pick, and a 2026 fifth-round pick
"After the Rams’ loss to the 49ers, the Rams shouldn’t feel like they are out of contention by any means. They dominate when someone is wreaking havoc in the middle, and
"Using our PFSN DTi rankings, Simmons is the second-best defensive tackle in the NFL, with an 89.1 impact score, suitable for a B+ grade. His ability to do this with the amount of attention he gets bodes well for if anybody is to trade for him, and in this case, the Rams get their second coming of the great Aaron Donald," Weil continued.
As Weil mentioned, Simmons is indeed very good. The defender currently has an 82.5 Pro Football Focus grade, which ranks 9th out of 186 qualified defensive linemen. Simmons has racked up 22 tackles, 3.5 sacks, six tackles for loss so far in five games in 2025.
In his seven-year career, Simmons has 196 tackles, 55 tackles for loss, and 35 sacks. The Mississippi State product has earned three Pro Bowl selections so far and has solidified himself as one of the top interior defenders in the league, and any team would love a player like Simmons.
The Titans may not be able to turn away a package like this, though. The Titans did just get their first win in Week 5, but at 1-4, it seems unlikely that the team has any postseason aspirations. Simmons is under contract through 2028, but with so many holes around the roster, the Titans may prefer to have extra picks.
In Los Angeles, Simmons could take over the defensive end spot currently occupied by Braden Fiske. There's no denying that a defensive line trio of Simmons, Poona Ford, and Kobie Turner would be fearsome.
Chargers vs. Dolphins bold predictions for Week 6 of 2025 NFL season

Here we will look at and discuss some bold predictions for the game between the Chargers and the Dolphins in Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season.
Justin Herbert bounces back in a major way
Herbert endured a Week 5 struggle where he was held under 200 yards for the first time this season. He was also sacked four times and threw his fourth interception in a three-game skid. As such, Herbert is poised for a massive rebound against a vulnerable Dolphins secondary. With the offense leaning on him heavily, expect a week of focused preparation to yield a surgical performance. Herbert will dissect Miami's defense with a quick-passing game. He will translate his recent frustration into a stat line surpassing 300 yards and multiple touchdowns without a turnover. That would re-establish him as the engine of the Chargers' playoff hopes.
Quentin Johnston plays and nets over 90 yards
Quentin Johnston suffered through a hamstring concern and a momentum-killing fumble that marred his four-catch, 40-yard performance in Week 5. Now, though, he is positioned for a breakout game against the Dolphins. His significant snap share indicates the coaching staff's trust. With his unique blend of size and speed, Johnston should exploit a secondary preoccupied with other Chargers weapons. This should lead to a performance where he surpasses 90 receiving yards and erases the memory of his previous miscue.
Tua Tagovailoa struggles to reach 200 yards
Tua Tagovailoa threw for a season-high three touchdowns and 256 yards in his first full game without Tyreek Hill. That was great and all
Jaylen Waddle hauls in another touchdown in a loss
In his first full game as the focal point of the passing attack, Jaylen Waddle delivered a signature performance in the Dolphins' narrow loss to the Panthers. He hauled in six of nine targets for 110 yards. The wideout solidified his alpha status with a clutch 46-yard, go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter. That showed that he is more than ready to carry the load as the team's primary receiver.
Now established as Miami's unequivocal WR1, Waddle will be the central focus of the Week 6 game plan. Tagovailoa will look his way early and often. Yes, the Chargers' defense presents a stiff challenge. That said, it is improbable they will completely contain a player of Waddle's caliber. That makes it highly likely he capitalizes for another significant play and finds the end zone once more.
