Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Solomon Thomas is reuniting with former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh in a trade with the Tennessee Titans, multiple media outlets reported Wednesday.
Per the reports, the Cowboys and Titans are swapping seventh-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Saleh, who left the San Francisco 49ers to become the Titans’ head coach on Jan. 23, coached Thomas for 2 1/2 seasons with the Jets. Thomas, 30, has also played for new Tennessee defensive run coordinator/defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton. In 2023, Thomas collected a career-high five sacks along with 31 tackles for the Jets.
The No. 3 overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft by the 49ers, Thomas recorded 239 tackles, 18.5 sacks and 36 tackles for loss in 131 career games (36 starts). Last season with the Cowboys, he played in 16 games (two starts) and compiled 10 tackles (three for loss), one pass defended and a pair of QB hits.
In other Titans news, NFL Network reported that kicker Joey Slye is re-signing on a one-year deal. Slye, who turns 30 on April 10, connected on 80% of his field-goal attempts in 2025 and has made 81.4% over his seven-year career.
