Safety Amani Hooker's wife, Stelle Hooker, shared her enthusiasm for his trade to the Buffalo Bills from the Tennessee Titans, posting "Hellooo NY!" on her Instagram Story shortly after the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.
The Bills acquired Hooker and a 2027 fifth-round pick from Tennessee in exchange for a 2027 second-round pick. Hooker, a fourth-round pick by the Titans in 2019, spent his entire NFL career with the team before this move.
Stelle Hooker's social media post, which included a praying hands emoji and a white heart, signaled her positive reaction to the move to New York. The couple married in May 2025 and have a daughter.
Hooker joins a 7-2 Bills team that currently leads the AFC East. The Tennessee Titans, in the midst of a rebuild under first-year head coach Robert Saleh, hold a 1-7 record and are last in the AFC South. The Titans also traded veteran defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears on October 29.
The Bills recently released safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson after he was suspended for spitting at an opponent. With Damar Hamlin and Gino Stone stepping up, Hooker's arrival is expected to bolster Buffalo's secondary. Hooker leads the league in interceptions with a career-high five this season, tied with Xavier McKinney of the Green Bay Packers.
