Traded to Chargers The Chargers acquired Molden from the Titans on Wednesday in exchange for a 2026 seventh-round pick.
Impact Molden registered a career-high 73 tackles (47 solo), four passes defended and a pick-six across 15 regular-season games for the Titans in 2023. Despite the uptick in production, Molden was set to see less snaps in Tennessee's secondary with Amani Hooker, Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams all getting work at safety, while Roger McCreary slots in at nickel corner. Molden will get a fresh start with the Chargers, and he should be utilized across multiple spots in the Bolts' secondary.
